What Gets Measured Gets Improved

What if you hired me to train you (since this is hypothetical, lets say for an MMA fight) and I didn’t have a plan. I simply free styled every time you came to train. We basically just did whatever popped into my head at that moment. I didn’t take notes or write anything down for that matter. How would you or I know if the next workout was any harder? 

The obvious answer is WE WOULDN’T. 

If we wouldn’t, how can we know if you’re getting any better? Again, WE WOULDN’T.

The two most important concepts to training is HARD WORK and PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD.

If you’re not training hard, you’ll never reach your full potential. If your workouts aren’t progressive (i.e getting harder), then what are you training for?

If you’ve been reading my blog and watching my videos, then you probably know Cliff. He’s training for the tryouts of “The Next Ultimate Fighter” season.

When he came to me for training, we didn’t have any time to waste. His training needed to get progressively more challenging for an adaptation to occur. And that adaptation is to remove the accumulation of waste by-products. In English, it means he won’t gas out during a fight.

Now Cliff’s in his fourth week of training and he’s becoming an ENDURANCE MACHINE. The only way we could get him there was by measuring his workouts. His sets, reps, rest, and frequency of training. 

Unfortunately, we don’t have all the equipment I’d like. If we could’ve been at my performance center in Michigan the training would be sick. But you have to make the best with what you got. 

So check out the latest video of Cliff below.

Becoming An Endurance Machine

Here’s the latest training session with Cliff. He’s making great progress.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

Dale Carnegie, Author

I can really relate to that quote, and it's exactly what I was talking about in the beginning of the video.

Don't wait for something to be perfect before doing it. We get better at things by taking action, then we learn in the process how to make it better. The name of the game is READY FIRE AIM, not READY AIM FIRE.

God willing, soon I'll be making entertaining videos (at least I'll think so). 

Just something to think about.
