- Is it better to consistently do what you can in diet and exercise or to only put 100% effort into your workouts when you can?

Agreed, not every workout has to be a Rocky reenactment.
If this video was upload by athlean-X " effort is KILLING your gains"
Pretty much. lol.
Dude you've been looking bigger lately
Another mind game changer to apply! Thanks Prof. Matt!
A few months ago I started doing a high frequency routine with a 2-day full body split, 3x a week. Took me a while to learn the pacing, but I've been feeling great and noticing results. I had always been a big intensity guy, and I always over did it. I'm excited to see what comes of this routine and how I may need to adjust it down the road.
Like this idea Eric, please keep us up to date on how this is working for you
Exactly the advice I needed right now with my current work schedule. Thank you, Matt!
Great! happy to help and best of luck with your new work schedule BB
Great video, totally agree!! To be honest I get motivated before a workout just by listening to old videos!!
Useful advice Matt! Stuff like this is what set this channel apart from the other ones.
I went through a phase of prioritising balls to the wall intensity over consistency, I would always skip a workout if I didn't feel 100%. This was just one of the many decisions that I've made over the last couple of years which held me back and kept me at square 1. I realised I was scared of doing the work and grinding, so I made workout decisions which I thought would minimise the workload required. This year, my workout is as simple as they come (full body 3x a week) at a moderate to high intensity depending on how I feel, so I can still complete a workout without being a 100% or even do more if I feel up for it. This has helped me build great consistency and progress which I've always lacked, and I'm finally building past the rut I put myself in. Plus working out more often (along with martial arts 2x a week) has made me enjoy it and look forward to it so much more than I used to. So yeah, I think both are important, but maybe consistency moreso.
I freaking love your channel more everytime a new video comes up keeping it real with no bullshit and I think you are getting better with every video keep it up :D
Much thanks Tironix, all killer, no filler. If you want flashy and fancy you won't find it here.
Thank you. Needed to hear this.
AMEN!!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! Consistency is the Ultimate Key!!!!A lot of the "Stop and Go" feeding the enjoyable Mindset, which inturn feeds the Consistency. Great Vid Bro
I absolutely loved this. As a busy mom working full time, I want to workout using the best moves/workouts all the time so I am spending my time in the gym the best possible way. However, I spend more time researching to find the best workout that promises this, but end up frustrated and exhausted and missing workouts because I have inundated myself with too much info AKA "analysis paralysis". Your explanation makes so much sense - JUST MOVE, CONSISTENTLY and the rest will come. Thank you for sharing. Your channel is amazing.
Thank you very much Sheila and best of luck with being a busy Mom, that's a hard job to have and even harder to fit in the workouts sometimes. Much respect.
I needed this reminder, appreciate it 🙏
Excellent conclusion Matt. Consistency gets you to your goal and use intensity and speed when it's available.
You put it so much better than I ever could, well done Federico
You just give the best advice Matt
Yes! Consistency. Thank you sir.
Great point Matt!👍👍👍
Reading my mind. I had a few minutes to ponder on this today before your upload. Turns out, I should have just waited for Matt to put another video together and reach the same conclusions I did after a few hours thinking over some coffee.
Nice video!Great and logical information.
Thanks for this
Thank you man🔥🔥
My pleasure, and thank you for watching!
This good video.. I can relate to. I train 4 days a wk and I keep pushing my self all the time and just Recently pulled muscle in my lower back. And need several days off to rest. Keep up the great work matt. 👍
Sorry to hear that Wolfy. back injuries can be very frustrating as I've had more than a few myself. best of luck in your recovery.
Excellent advice bro, imho
Sir all of your videos is helps me ALOT in training, glad I found your channel 😊
Yeah, this channel is a gem.
Very happy to hear this, and best of luck in your training, the best is yet to come
Very good and motivation video ✌️
Thank you very much Adiusza for your support and for watching my stuff :) It's always nice to know we have options and flexibility in our workouts.
I love this video 😂❤
another *GREAT* video on this topic.. Have a like and this comment my friend..
Classic tortoise and the hare story😊
Can you do a video on muscle confidence vs flexibility
RDp!
I always used to do this, if I couldn't be bothered doing as good a workout as I did in the last workout I just didn't do it at all. But now I just do it anyway even if it's half of what I did the previous time. I just accept that I'm weaker on some days than others.
That's a good thing to make peace with, taking the pressure of yourself to always go 100% can make a big difference.
very well said, ive been pondering this thought recently myself. i drive for ubereats and doordash and if i go hard i can make 130+ a day and i was doing that . id collect $600 and then id take a whole week off lol where as if i just kept chugging alone at a constant $90 avg for 4hr thats $720 a week if i were to go everynight. some nights maybe ill do 2 hrs some nights just to keep the habit and not slack. and like u said if you're feeling spicy then go ahead and put in the extra effort!! nice
A great example of how this principle can apply in other areas of life.
Drive safe out there!
"You can't go highway speed right out of your driveway until you reach your destination". Hahaha :D
I train 6 days a week for years some days I feel good and my intensity goes up and days not so good so it goes down but that's ok because I still struggle on a few reps per set and that's better than nothing
I was currently working out 6 days a week, but someone at the gym recommended me only working out a muscle group once a week for a 3 day split instead. With only rampup sets because it is easier to keep up consistently. I would get 4 days rest instead of 1 and according to him keep my body hunger for more. What do you think about that Matt?
Hard to tell, the frequency of a workout depends on a lot of things, but in general, more rest is often a good thing. I would give it a shot and see what happens. If you fee like it's a bit too much rest drop the rest down to 3 days and then 2 until you hit that sweet spot that works best for you
@@RedDeltaProject Well I have 4 kids so basically I would like to say I need 7 days a week for rest, but I don't want to let go of my training since I've been doing it now for 5 years consistently. It is quite tough to keep up, thanks for the response Matt. I will give it some trial and error.
Hey Matt,
Pavel Tsatsouline has stated that he doesn't believe bodyweight can properly train the lower back. I'm inclined to believe him due to his impressive experience, but what's your opinion?
No idea where he's getting that one from. Extension is extension wether it's from a bridge, rev. lever, dead lift or KB swing.
@@RedDeltaProject Exactly. It's about muscle activation and tension, not the tool used to achieve them.
And celebrate those individual bricks! Notice your judgemental thoughts for what they are - thoughts. And forgive yourself constantly. Life is hard!
please anyone explain in simple words consistency or intensity
Matt, I ask you an indiscreet question. What is your current weight and height? And in the last 4 years how much did your weight increase? Bflf
I'm 5 foot 10 (ish) inches tall and 185-190# depending on whether it's Taco Tuesday or not.
But it's been at least a year or so since I've weighed myself. It's just never been all that important to me.
Ffs are you reading my mind?? I've been pondering this for the last few weeks.
lol, this is a topic that's becoming a bit more popular these days. It will be interesting to see what long-term lessons we learn from it.
Consistency.
How can anyone with intelligence not agree with ANY of your information.
The biggest challenge is that the most common form of ignorance is excessive education.
I would work out only 4 times per week and i would kill myself every session while progressively overloading. I have made progress far better than i was before. Before i would workout whenever i want according to how i felt and plateau all the time.
Don’t you think if you stay consistently average you will eventually plateau? You wouldn’t be evolving and getting better
Consistency…?
Tsrif
I agree but I would say excessive indoctrination
The Great Wall is a poor comparison, it failed to keep the Mongols out.
You're right, if anything it promoted the invasions of China. Maybe I should refer more to things like castle walls or something.
your advise is so good, i cant wait to not follow it for no reason even though i know your right. stupid brain.
lol!
Not to worry, I haven't been following my own advice for years.
And no that's not a joke, sometimes I make videos like this to re-teach myself what I should be doing instead of falling into my old bad habits.
Nope. Nothing can stop the Mongols
True dat, if anything walls often serve as motivations rather than deterrents
