When it comes to getting in shape, consistency is key. You’ll never achieve your goals if you’re constantly dipping in and out. There’s a big difference between simply going to the gym and training with purpose – and understanding that difference is what will lead to real results!
But “training” doesn’t just refer to what happens in the gym. It also encompasses the choices you make in other areas of your life.
- You need consistently good sleep for muscle recovery and repair.
- You need to follow a healthy, well-balanced diet week in, week out.
That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the occasional takeaway, a bag of sweets, or a cold pint of beer. But if you’re regularly munching on chilli heatwave Doritos and Freddos, your time in the gym isn’t going to move the needle much.
Consistency in and out of the gym is the foundation for getting fit, strong and jacked.
If you really want to level up, though, you need to combine consistency with accuracy. Your training split, exercise technique and exercise selection are critical for maximising muscle and strength gains.
- Following a random programme you found on Google or YouTube can be a recipe for frustration. Most generic plans don’t account for your lifestyle. What’s the point of a six-day-a-week programme when you know you can only commit to three sessions? It’s a fast track to burnout or feeling like a failure.
- Your exercise technique is non-negotiable. Poor form doesn’t just limit your results; it increases your risk of injury.
- And your exercise selection matters. Everyone has different biomechanics, so you need to choose movements that work best for your body, maximising stimulus and safety.
