I dunno about you guys, but I see a lot of articles in magazines and ads on the internet that say they're going to tell me EXACTLY what to do to
fill in the blank. "Hey, let me tell you EXACTLY what to eat to lose weight." "This routine has EXACTLY what reps and sets you need build shirt bursting biceps!"
Do you think that really works? Can someone without so much as looking at you tell you the exact food you need or the exact exercises? Can anyone really write a one size fits all training routine?
I use to fall for this kind of stuff when I was in high school reading fitness magazines and the funny thing is, they never seemed get EXACTLY the results I was looking for. Then when I was in my late 20's I stumbled on this John Peterson guy. maybe you've heard of him, who
didn't tell me EXACTLY what to do. Obviously this guy did know what he was talking about. I mean, come on, he couldn't even tell me EXACTLY how many reps and sets?! He couldn't tell me EXACTLY what my carb to protein ratio was suppose to be?!
It's funny how his system is the only one I've stuck with an prospered on. Funny that I've never given up in frustration while on his system. The old guy might not be totally clueless after all
I
can tell you EXACTLY what to do though: Treat each new day as an opportunity to better yourself. Learn by doing. You are a unique human being, a singularity in the universe,
respect yourself as such.
One of the best things you can do is begin keeping a journal. The
60 Day Personal Power Health & Fitness Journal is great to have in order to keep track of what is working and what isn't. Another great resource is our
Power Training Forum, post your workouts in there and also feel free to post your general diet. I know all kinds of members get around to looking in there and are always happy to offer insight and encouragement.

P.S. And before anyone says, "I got you, Joe! What about G.U.T.S.?! It's one size fits all!" G.U.T.S. in a foundational routine, it takes 24 minutes which leaves time over to work on your own specific goals! So nice try, but but no cigar
