Ingredients for a Killer Gym Session
- A t-shirt with a clever gym-related slogan and matching knee sleeves. Bonus points added to your gym total if the socks and singlet are a complementary color!
- A curated playlist. And to listen to said playlist, Bluetooth earbuds (Apple only, unless they have The Rock logo on them).
- A selfie stick.
- A gym partner to follow you around filming your workout because you’re too lazy to use the selfie stick.
- At least four different supplements, including but not limited to preworkout, intraworkout, creatine, and second preworkout.
- At least four different pairs of shoes, including but not limited to squat shoes, deadlift shoes, deadlift slippers, and Metcons.
- Kilo plates.
- A calculator to figure out how much your kilo plates weigh in pounds.
- A third preworkout.
I’ve missed doing these, but if you didn’t read the earlier ones – and didn’t catch on by reading the above – these lists are obviously tongue-in-cheek. You don’t need any of this shit to have a good training session, and if you rely on them (either for motivation or for a sense of identify), you’re probably setting yourself up for long-term problems.
Here’s what you actually need to have a good training session:
- A plan. You can’t half-ass a training plan and expect to get more than half-assed results. Need a training plan? Elitefts and I have you covered.
- Focus.
- A strong support system. No, that doesn’t mean the guy following you around with a selfie stick. It’s the guys who are spotting, analyzing, and pushing each other to perform better – not just look better.
Are you ready to train?
