Those who have nothing to do all day can lose time at the gym. But I am an entrepreneur! Twenty years ago, when I was twenty-one, I enrolled in the gym. I did it with all the good intentions. I didn't want to waste time or money on the subscription. So I began to buy all the magazines in the sector at the time. In those days, the internet was not as widespread as it is now. On the glossy pages of those magazines the thought reigned supreme: "more is better". I had greedily read everything there was to read and memorized the training routines, diet regimens and even the personal habits of all the best champions.

I followed their example: up to 30 sets per muscle group, training three hours a day, six days a week. I began to hate the gym! After months of training in this way, my motivation had decreased so much that I started to seriously think about leaving the gym. I thought that if the training three hours a day was not enough to cause an increase in my muscle mass, maybe I would have to increase to four hours a day. And it was hard to justify more time at the gym, since I was already tired of my job . If the development of a physique meant giving up on social life, then no, it was not worth it. The cause-effect relationship between intense exercise and muscle growth is supported by the fact that the body has limited capacity . High intensity training must be short and rare. Memorizing the workout routines of muscle magazines did not make me an expert.

For the first time in my life, I listened to someone who took the values of knowledge, reason, logic and science very seriously. At 24, I quickly switched to a high intensity training program and - in just a year and a half - my tired and mediocre physique underwent a radical transformation. A rational bodybuilder not only avoids bankruptcy, but beware, he also seriously looks for the most productive method or time saving to achieve his goal . I find surprising the physical effort of athletes willing to train months (or years) while they get little or no progress. There is a principle in the physiology of exercise that states how the body adapts specifically to specific requests. The switch of muscle growth is the momentary muscle failure! Never again a slave to the gym The science of bodybuilding begins where all science begins: the recognition of reality, an absolute, undetermined objective flow. That reality and its laws (the laws of physics) are immutable. While it is true that each of us is different, in the sense that each individual has the mark of an unrepeatable and irreplaceable personality, we are all essentially the same anatomically and physiologically (evolution of the human race).

The low use in high-intensity training gyms is due to the not easy understanding (and putting into practice) of its principles. In theory they are extremely simple to understand but such simplicity often becomes an obstacle. This is perhaps because in today's modern society we are used to overestimate complexity and underestimate - in fact - simplicity. It's time to change and resume your social life as you grow up and become stronger!.
