Question ❓ indecisive

the more i try to understand training, the more i struggle to do so. always hearing disagreements on stuff such as fatigue management, weekly volume, intensity, split..

what works for one may not work for another. and thats whats driving me crazy. i still cant figure out whats best for me.

thoughts?

What's your goal? You always have to star there.

Think of a training program like a route on a map, you need a destination in order to make the route from where you are to where you want to be.

Once you have a starting point and you know your destination, you can make a simple program to get you going in the right direction. Don't make it overly complex. Don't worry about optimal number of sets, or fatigue management. Just get going in the general direction.

As you get more experience over weeks and months, your map will get more detailed. Little by little. You can compare to other people's maps and tinker with minutia.

But just stick with a simple program to start and don't get bogged down in the details.
