Mastering the fundamentals is more valuable than worrying about the details. When you are just getting started, focus on three core principles:
1. Start too light: “It is only by focusing on volume, repetition, and easy weights in the beginning that you build the capacity to handle heavier weights later on.”
2. Be consistent: “If you want to make progress, you have to make a reasonable, sustained effort.”
3. Take small steps: “Tiny gains add up fast. Average speed can take you far if you just keep walking.”
