But what I'd say is one general mistake people make with exercise, if you're failing to make progress or hitting your goals, it's oftentimes just a few things. One, you probably don't have any structure to your plan. So people are kind of just like doing whatever they feel like that day and or what we call in the field program hopping.

So you're like, you did this kind of program for a week, and then you did this one or whatever, and there's not enough specificity and then not enough overload over time for you to actually drive any adaptations. So that's generally like problem number one. The second one is because of that or similar to it, it's lack of any true progression.

So you do the same workout at the same intensity, at the same repetition range, in the same range of motion, in the same order for years, and then why would you think you would actually make changes? Your body will get very adapted and accustomed to that. You'll be optimized for it. And because of that, you don't make any progress.

So without going into individual exercises and orders and things like that, because they can vary, the answer can be anything there. In general, if you're following a well-developed plan, at least kind of closely, and you're making some sort of intention for progressive overload, you should be seeing results. If you're not, then you got to go back to those things.

And if you're doing both of those things and you're not seeing progress, now we're probably at the point of consistency and effort. You're actually trying hard. You're working hard. You're like going hard. And are you doing it for more than a week and then falling off for a week and then doing it for two weeks and then you're missing five days?

That's just going to be hard to make progress like that.
