Consistency — Mobility Guide #737

Why It Matters

Recovery quality determines how much of your effort actually translates into results.

Training volume, when programmed intelligently, is the primary lever most lifters underuse.

Exercise selection should prioritize movements you can consistently improve on for months at a time.

Protein intake around 1.6–2.2 g per kilogram of bodyweight covers the vast majority of trainees.

The Science

Consistency across months beats intensity across weeks.

Compound lifts build the base; isolation work refines the finish.

Progressive overload remains the single most important driver of long-term adaptation.

How to Program It

Track your training. Progress that isn't measured tends to disappear.

Stress from the gym stacks with stress from life. Manage the total load.
