The Rule Trap
Most rules you find in books and posts are just shortcuts - built for someone else’s life.
If you don’t adapt them, you’ll burn out or bail.
The fix?
1. Find the principle.
2. Contextualise it.
3. Build your system.

The Question
What if your training wasn’t about how much you lifted…
…but how good you felt after?
What if your body already knew what it needed … if only you paused long enough to ask?

I used to chase numbers in training.
Now I chase how I feel.
Walk out feeling strong. That's it.
Previously, I would feel good if I hit a number. Now, I skip the numbers part and focus directly on "feeling good."
