Ep. 528 - The Success Loop (Action → Result → Motivation)

Today I steal a great theory from my good friend Jordan Syatt. That theory is the theory of how to achieve results, consistently - I decided to call this the success loop. Instead of doing as most think to do, which is to get motivated > take action > see results.... you should be taking action > to see results > which motivates you to continue.

Ep. 525: 17 Programming Principles That Come Before Volume & Intensity

I wrote THIS IG POST and immediately knew I needed to record an in depth podcast on the subject, because there are so many overlooked keys to great training and part of the reason they're so overlooked, is because people put too much faith in volume and intensity as standalone aspects.
