Consistency is King

When it comes to achieving your goals or mastering any complex skill, consistency truly is the name of the game. If you put forth the effort day in and day out you are going to get where you want to be. Once you start missing training sessions or just going through the motions your progress slows down and you may even regress. Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours of practice for mastery or success. You can bet one or two hours a week isn't going to do it.

Yesterday I was in my jiu-jitsu class and when it came time to practice techniques on the ground I practically drew a blank. I was mixing things up that I definitely shouldn't have. What do you know I have been missing classes.

My deadlift reps weren't where they were supposed to be today. Looking back at my training log I see that I have missed a couple of deadlift workouts  this month, which is a lot when you only deadlift once a week. No wonder I have lost my momentum.

Time to get it back and keep it. I have a few thousand hours to practice.

Content incoming.

I have some good things coming up, so stay tuned.
