Greed and Patience


Be patient and you can gradually grow greedy. Be greedy and you’ll have to be permanently patient.

If you take your time increasing the weights and take your time progressing through the movements, you are much less likely to get injured. If you start with a couple days a week and suss out how many times you can train by adding one training session at a time, you will gain a more thorough understanding of capacity. Patience now means greater returns in the long run… and your general fitness should be a long term (life long) process.

If you get greedy with the weights or try and force your way through the skill progressions, you are more likely to end up with an injury. If you jump into training six days a week you are more likely to overtrain and be forced into taking a break. Getting greedy will force you to be patient (because you’re injured) which is often very difficult (because you were in such a hurry).
