How to Make More Progress Than 99% of People.
It’s So Easy You’ll Feel Stupid for Not Knowing.
People overthink the crap out of fitness.
They believe there’s some magic exercise that will skyrocket their progress.
Well, let me tell you this, my friend—there is no magic exercise.
In fact, constantly searching for the “perfect” exercise is exactly what’s holding you back.
Why 99% of People Don’t Make Progress
They think their problem is not finding the right exercise. But the real problem is searching for the right exercise.
By constantly switching exercises, you will:
Overthink the crap out of fitness
Never master proper form
Fail to build a strong mind-muscle connection
Waste hours researching instead of training
The Solution? Stick to the Basics.
Pick a few core exercises and hammer them consistently. Master them. That’s how you build real strength and muscle.
This principle of simplicity applies to everything in life.
Don’t know what exercises to focus on? No worries—here’s a solid list:
Chest
Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Press
Cable Flys (Regular & High-Low)
Machine Press
Back
Lat Pulldown (Regular & Close Grip)
Bent-Over Barbell Row
One-Arm Dumbbell Row
Seated Cable Row
Legs
Barbell Back Squat
Leg Extension
Stiff-Leg Deadlift
Lunges
Calf Raises
Hip Thrust
Shoulders
Overhead Dumbbell Press
Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise
Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise
Dumbbell Shrugs
Arms
Dumbbell Bicep Curl
Dumbbell Hammer Curl
Dumbbell Skull Crushers
Cable Tricep Pushdown
Abs
Cable Rope Crunch
Hanging Leg Raises
That’s it.
Unfortunately, I realized this way too late in my own journey. I spent the first five years jumping from exercise to exercise, searching for the “perfect” workout—when all I really needed were the basics.
