What the F**K?

It really is a simple game but why, oh why do so many 'gurus' like to complicate the issue with so much emphasis on assistance work and the small matter.

It goes back to the 80-20 rule. Simply put 80 per cent of you results will come from 20 per cent of your efforts.

So if you dont include some form of Squat, Deadlift, Bench or Chin then can you truly expect to get the most from your training?

So if your training diary for the day looks like a telephone book of exercises then ask yourself - what is the purpose of this?

Do you really need to hit the bicep from every angle or incline the bench to 30 degrees because 'this has been shown to activate the pec minor more so than 42.5 degrees'. I mean come on! who gives a shit?

Maybe there is a time and a place (rehab, post-op). But by and large some gurus like to complicate the issue here.

I have worked under many coaches who feel that by highlighting the details down to crossing the 't' and dotting the 'i' will help them sound more 'guru' like and important.

WHo sounds more intelligent? The guy who instructs you to point your toes out 15 degrees and take a 2 second count on the ascent to squat or the coach who screams at you in the ascent of a squat to get it up almost willing you with pure emotion, grit and determination to 'get it up'.

Who DO YOU THINK will get you the results?

Just get under the bar and give it all you have.

It know is sounds simple but it is.
