Everyone you meet comes with a lesson. Not everyone comes to stay.

Do y'all think friendships were better back in the day

Everyone you meet comes with a lesson. Some people just take longer to understand.

Too many of us lose ourselves trying to make an ungrateful person happy.

everyone you meet comes with a lesson .

do y'all think relationships were better back in the day ?

I lost people that I wasn't prepared to live without.

That hurts.

Things that annoy you in public restaurants?

There are too many people counting calories and not enough counting chemicals 🥸

What happens with a NEW dumbbell workout?

It's human nature to be cautious so you pick a weight you KNOW you can complete each set.

Problem is... if the weight doesn't challenge you, it WON'T change you. The body needs a reason to adapt and grow muscle.

What happens when you REPEAT the same workout?

You know what to expect, remember what dumbbells you used last time and how that weight made each set feel. There's comfort in that so you look for small ways (remember the 1% better post?!) to increase the challenge:

* better connection to the target muscle = more intensity

* an extra rep on each set = more volume

* try the 12.5lb weight instead of the 10lb = more weight

You don't need exercise variety. You need to practice the same basic lifts to the point they start to feel easy. That's when you increase the number of reps and/or your dumbbell weight.

This is a principle called progressive overload and it's how you build muscle and increase strength! (You've given the body a reason to adapt and grow.)
