🔥 Why ENVIRONMENT drives RESULTS

Unless you understand periodization and how to correctly combine means and methods, most programs look pretty good on paper

But even the best written programs often fail because they’re being performed in lackluster environments

The reason is training to the brain is a sympathetic activity: fight or flight

So if you place an athlete in an environment that’s aggressive, where the music is loud, your slamming weights, and your training partners are pushing you with positive energy, you’re going to get great results

Conversely, if you place an athlete in an environment that’s quiet, where you can’t drop weights and the music can’t be loud, or their training partners are disengaged or lazy, you’re not going to get any results

This is why training has to be raw and intense, and environment is just as important as individual programming, coaching technique, and everything else that goes into actually getting RESULTS

A comfort zone may feel nice, but nothing ever grows there
