Willpower fails because it is unreliable, finite, and collapses under stress, fatigue, and real life. In fitness, that is why most people start strong and fall off when work gets busy, sleep drops, or motivation disappears. In this episode, Ben will break down why relying on discipline alone keeps people stuck in the same start stop cycle, and why the people who stay lean, strong, and consistent do not depend on motivation at all.
