KNOW THE HOW AND THE WHY!

Most of the Programmes out there will tell you what to do, but not how to do it or why. You have to understand that a Programme in itself is just a method, and following it blindly will not lead you far. You’ll make progress at first and eventually go nowhere. So what happens exactly? Well Ralph Emerson said it best “As to methods, there may be a million and then some but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring the principles is sure to have trouble” This applies tremendously well to training, doesn’t it? What is more important than the Programme or method is the How and WHY or philosophy of a Programme. If you cannot give a detailed answer to HOW you do something and more importantly WHY you are doing something you will get lost and or injured. How you perform a squat is not a simple case of just sitting down and standing back up again and the reason why should not be because its on the Programme or your coach told you so or even because its going to make your stronger.   KNOW THE HOW AND THE WHY !!
