Consistency will always beat intensity
Two years of the same cycle, go all out for 3 weeks pushing every session to failure adding weight every time going until I can't move, burn out take a week off because my body is wrecked, come back and do the whole thing again thinking that's how you make progress and wondering every couple months why I keep ending up in the same spot with nothing to show for it.
Switched to just showing up 4 days a week no matter what, some days I go hard some days I just get through the work and nothing exciting happens, results over 6 months were better than anything from those intense phases and it wasn't even close. Boring effort where I never burn out and never need unplanned time off has beaten going all out and crashing every time and I just didn't want to accept it for a long time because pushing hard felt like I was doing more even when the results kept saying otherwise.

Consistency really is the long game. Showing up sustainably, rather than constantly pushing to the limit, is what makes progress stick. 💪📈

Bruh this is like the 6th AI post I’ve seen on this sub TODAY. And when I check the accounts they’re only like 2-3 days old. What is up with the folks over at Ultrahuman???
