This is the completion calendar of someone who decided to make their strength & fitness a lot less optional.
I don't need to tell you if they made amazing progress in their strength & fitness or not, because you already know the answer 🎯.
If you complete 100% of your workouts for 8 months in a row, that’s pretty much match-fixing. Your progress is predetermined, there's nothing your competition can do about it, and it leads to the kind of result where your buddies, teammates. and opponents are asking you "what's the secret?!?"
You know the secret. I know the secret. Everyone already knows the secret 🫣.
But here’s the rub: the “secret” seems optional until it’s obvious, and by that point you needed to start 8 months ago.
You will never be forced to train strength & fitness, to solo and ghost, to get more sleep, or to eat more vegetables and less desert, and it’s unlikely that any of your buddies will invite you to do any of these things. So, it’s up to you to set your own standard.
It's all optional. Unless you want to win 🏆.
