You never really noted any exceptions to the “If something isn’t working, change it” paragraph..

Sorry, I meant your “Rule #1″. What I`m saying is whether one should apply this rule to skill development too.

For example, I train MMA in Japan. Here most guys do little other than free sparring. Now, after years of very slow progress and massive burnout I decided I`d try and do less sparring and more drills and technique work. I was amazed to discover that after just a few weeks techniques I`m now pretty comfortable using techniques I`d been struggling with for years.

I obviously kept training that way, so I guess instinctively I followed the rule. Tried a new training method, saw results in a few weeks and stuck to it. So yeah, I guess that should answer my own question.

I’m not sure what you mean by first law or what exactly you’re asking me.

I like you 1st law. Do you think it applies to skill development also?

Less emphasis on fads and anxiety about alternate arrangements and more adherance to plan is what is needed for about 90% of the population. Just eat a healthy low cal diet. have a decent amount of protein (decent, not huge), eat big salads for satiation and move out of 25% bf to sub 15% (men). And if you are over 25%, don’t even worry about the impact on the lifting. Will probabl have no impact, but even if it does, PRIORITIES. Get your fat ass dieted!

Great article. I was wondering if this is an excerpt from one of your books?
