All or nothing” thinking is ruining your progress.
Perfect adherence feels productive.
You’re finally taking things seriously.
100% compliance. No exceptions. Total control.
Feels amazing to tick those boxes.
You feel disciplined. Focused. Like you’ve cracked the code.
Until - one day - you don’t hit 100%.
Maybe you miss a session.
Suddenly the whole thing falls apart.
“Ah f**k it. If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother? I always balls things up”
But this treats progress like a pass/fail exam.
It’s not like that.
Your body responds to ACCUMULATED effort over time.
Not perfect days.
Thank god for that, really - given how much time these guys spend OFF it…
If one good day counts, one bad day would count too…
And that’s no bueno.
If you keep restarting from scratch...
It’s because you’re holding yourself to a standard that guarantees failure.
Lower the bar. Raise the consistency.
That’s the actual hack
Chrissy Mcdermont doesn’t do perfection , he does consistency
65lbs down
170kg deadlifts for reps
All happened over time and none of it was perfect
