It’s a massive misconception 👇🏻

That if you wanna stay in pretty decent shape for the majority of the year, that it takes some crazy amount of effort.

Stupidly active, loads of cardio, a 7 day training split and perfect nutrition.

A lot of lads hear that and it puts them off even trying to get in shape because they think that that sort of effort is completely beyond them.

The truth is, most of the stuff I’ve mentioned above is complete overkill.

If you want to get down to single digit anatomy chart ripped, well then yeah, you’ll have to do things that the average bloke wouldn’t.

But that’s not what we’re talking about now.

We’re talking about not having a giant gut, love handles or a swollen face, being fit, strong, lean and full of energy.

And all of this alongside some room for indulgence in your life, and not living like a hermit.

It doesn’t take as much as you think.

It just takes s longer term consistency so that the simple stuff builds up and compounds for you.

What I’ve mentioned in that post should be well within your means.

So if you’re not doing it now, start!

Don’t know where to start?

Woah woah woah, slow down. with the gym terminology 😂

Kidding aside, I really think that this is the level of simplicity you have to give people who don’t return their weights.

It cant be made any simpler for ya now! No excuses 😆

You’ve no idea how much I love seeing stuff like this.

Don’t log your workouts

You don’t care enough if you do 🤣

Some people do it off the dome, and credit to them.

Personally, I think that if you can measure it, you can manage it.

And that logging what you’re doing.

Sets, reps, weight.

Even little short hand remarks on form or progression.

Is a worthwhile practice with your training.

Especially for beginners.

You’re likely going to suck at managing your training initially.

So it’s going to work in your favour to have something to refer to.

I really thought that sort of stuff was a given 🤔

Man, I used to spend time debating content around stuff that would have a really strong basis for arguing. Now it’s stuff like this 🤣

I’m curious to see what else you shouldn’t do - drink water in the gym, take rest periods, who knows 🤣
