This is the one I needed.

Buy a notebook.

24

lift heavy

25

Eat like a monster.

Meth heads and catalogue models have abs, very few fucking people have 56 inch chests or 2xBW bench presses. Those are goals that CANNOT be achieved without food.

Training only for power/strength will not give you the body you’re after - if you’re trying to look like a bodybuilder.

Everything works, but nothing works for long.

29

Don’t be dogmatic. Switch up your workouts. If something’s working well, keep doing it. When it stops working, switch things up and move onto something else. I spent several years spinning my wheels. I was an athlete at the time, not training for size pe se. But I still spent too much time beholden to one theory. And lifting wasn’t complementing my performance as much as it could have.

30

High Volume, High Intensity, keep body guessing

You should make some kind of progress every time you work out, whether you lift one more rep than last week or use 5 pounds more in your squat. If you don’t, it’s time to change something in your routine.

Every workout? I think thats expecting too much. If that were the case, we’d all have 500lb squats within a year and a half or less of working out.

I think perhaps an increase of weight or rep or set or whatever would be a better expectation.

Note: That last blurb applies to intermediate or advanced lifters.

Don’t let anyone or anything keep you away from the gym for extended periods of time. If I had stayed consistent and focused in the gym all these years, I’d be STRONG, HUGE, and HAPPY.

It’s a lot easier to get out of it, than getting back into it.

On an even more specific personal level, I’d tell myself to train calves, arms, and be more nutritionally conscientious.

Train with people who are bigger and stronger than you.
