"IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN..."


This is a quote from the Joker in the latest Batman flick. I like this quote because it's a great answer to many training and diet questions. I find a lot of people have training and or diet attention deficit disorder (including myself at times). Everyone is always looking for a new program or new diet plan to jump right into before finishing the program they're currently following (i'm assuming that you have a program or some general principles at the very least in the first place).

Well, let me tell you something folks; you have to stay the course to reap the benefits of your current program. If you're training for maximal strength with 4 strength training workouts per week you're probably not going to be as strong as you possibly can if you jump to another program or try to combine a westside split with a body composition program. If you find another program you are interested in, I suggest you ride out the one you're currently using and then devote your full attention to the new one when it's completed.

The same thing goes for diet; if you're using my rather primitive eating principles to shed body fat then stick to the plan until you reach your desired percent body fat and then go try this other plan you've been interested in. Stay the course people!
