You're showing up consistently and not looking for shortcuts. So why does it feel like you're just staying busy but not actually getting stronger or building muscle? This episode, the last in the Strength Gap series, has nothing to do with effort or discipline. It's about whether your body has a reason to change from the workouts you're doing.
You'll dive into the difference between exercising and training, why your body stops adapting when the stimulus never changes, and what it means to have progression deliberately built into a program instead of just showing up and doing random things. You'll also hear about the biggest fear that comes up around this gap: that a program with real structure has to be rigid, perfectionistic, and completely inflexible.
