Try something 3 times every other day, then try something else 3 times every other day. Try training before work for a month. Try training after work for a month. Try different food strategies before training-do some homework and apply what you learn and see what leaves you feeling best. Get to know yourself through the process.

Be consistent with training, eating, and recovery. These are the main ingredients. We work around everything else. I think people under- recover and the intensity of the training sometimes waxes and wanes more than it should.

Think about the quality of your life. A little bit, all the time. Everything you do in the gym makes everything you do outside the gym better. More energy, improved mental acuity, increased confidence, more patience, not to mention you look and feel better all day long! Be pro- active about your sleep, give yourself a month of 8 hour nights and see what happens (I’m still working on this).
