I have training ADD

OK, I finally admit it. I have training ADD - yes, ADD as in Attention Deficit Disorder. (Perhaps that's why I haven't posted in my blog for so long). When I say 'training ADD' I mean I can't stick with one training protocol or plan for very long, or long enough to see the results I should. As a result I'm cheating myself out of progress.

Yes...even this one!

I guess I came down with the ADD soon after bodybuilding writers came to the internet. You see I read A LOT and among those readings are new training ideas as well as plans from years gone by. And they are so dammed inviting and interesting I need to try them all... But, in my defence, I need to know a lot of different training methods in order to give my clients the service they deserve, so it's kinda justified!

Right now you might be asking yourself "How can I avoid catching training ADD"? Well there are a few important steps to staying immune.
1. Take before photos at the start of your new training program. You'll want photos from the front, side and back.
2. Commit your training plan to paper and carry it to gym with you.
3. Use week 1 of your plan as a 'feeler' week to figure out the exercises and select the appropriate weights.
4. Commit a solid four to six weeks to that plan before considering switching. Make sure you progress during those weeks by adding weight or reps to the exercises.
5. Take after photos and compare to the ones you took at the start.

Then at the end you can move on to the next 'latest thing' knowing you gave the last plan the best possible chance.
