Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

The last thing, and you mentioned this already, Adam, was you want to get stronger, you need to eat sufficiently, and you need to get good sleep.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

Poor sleep is a strength killer.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

I mentioned fatigue.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

You don't want to train with lots of fatigue if you're trying to build strength.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

Well, you can fatigue your central nervous system with poor sleep.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

One night of poor sleep, your risk of injury goes through the roof, and your technique is terrible.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

And you're going to go and you're going to practice that way, not to mention your recovery is bad, hormones tend to be thrown off.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So you've got to get good sleep, and you need to feed โ€“

what you're trying to build.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

You need to feed yourself.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

You can't starve yourself into getting stronger.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

You know, that's all you're doing.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

It's basically just insulting your body.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

Totally.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

A hundred percent.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So the, our maps 15 power lift program does this.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

And so essentially what it looks like is one or two lifts a day.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

So one or two lifts a day, you're out there, you're doing three to five sets, uh,

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

You're practicing the lifts.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

And most people notice with that program, strength gains week over week is the report that we're getting.
