Avoid Majoring in the Minors
The most important factors in achieving fitness goals are:
Doing an appropriate amount of exercise at an appropriate intensity
Having some form of progression over time in your training regimen
Eating an appropriate amount of calories and protein
Getting enough sleep, rest, and recovery time
Consistency over time in all of the above
All other factors – including and especially commercially available supplements – will have extremely minimal impact on your success. It is important to put the majority of your focus on dialing these five factors in and not try to “min/max” factors that are much less important. Not only is it a better use of your time and energy, but keeping the amount of change in your life small will make it less stressful and easier to sustain.
Always remember – Do not let pursuit of “perfect” be the enemy of achieving “good”, and do not fall into the trap of premature optimization. Just like you had to learn to walk before you could learn to run, it’s important to dial in the fitness fundamentals first.
