ADVICE

Sharpen Your Edge

  • Know your "edge," the point where you start to make excuses and back off from your goals.
  • Consistently push slightly beyond that edge to achieve real growth, like forging a Hattori Hanzo sword.
ADVICE

Measure Objectively, Adjust Accordingly

  • Use objective measurements like circumference, clothing fit, food intake, and strength gains to track progress.
  • If a plan isn't working, adjust your course of action instead of stubbornly sticking to it.
ADVICE

Evaluate Before Changing

  • Before changing your approach, analyze execution, consistency, and time spent.
  • Avoid changing things randomly if the basics aren't covered.
