If you do as I say you will improve much faster. So, to go to war without a strategy is never a good idea. Or in anything you do competitively. A professional fighter comes up with a game plan to beat their opponent. A team comes up with a strategy to beat another team. What you’re doing is no different. You’re competing with yourself. So sit down one day. Write out a 12 week program. Break it up into 3 4 week routines. So first 4 weeks you have everything written out...you do lots of heavy compound movements. Maybe some powerlifting. And you write down everything that you lift and how many reps. So the following week you try to beat all of your prior lifts by reps and or weight. It’s vital to improve. If you go up only 5 pounds a week on your bench press that’s a 20 pound improvement. So after that 4 weeks is up you go into something entirely different. Now you’re doing higher reps and burn outs. Super sets and giant sets. Same thing though write it all down. Then beat your lifts.even if it’s one rep. DO IT. Compete against yourself. Then the last four weeks back to the heavy compound movements but ALSO mix in some higher rep lifts, burnouts, etc. and try to do different exercises that you hadn’t used in the previous 8 weeks. Of course more importantly is the diet and nutrition. But write everything down. Try it and see what happens.

Well, first of all thanks for the breath of fresh air with your total honesty. Being honest with ourselves is the ONLY way to really better ourselves. And here’s a couple karma points for staying natural. You have a rare ability that we lack these days. Self control. And because you’re going about this intelligently and I can just tell in your wording and questioning that there’s a more than likely chance that you’re going to stay with this thing and meet your goals. THEN set new goals. Don’t make your training complicated. If you do you’ll start to get frustrated and once it loses it’s fun then there’s a possibility of falling off.
