I break down why so many people constantly change workout plans and how overthinking, optimisation, and inconsistency kill progress. This episode covers program hopping, workout structure, progressive overload, and what actually matters for long-term muscle growth and strength.
In this episode, I answer 10 common questions about changing workout plans, program hopping, and why so many people struggle to stay consistent with strength training long enough to see progress.
I talk about how often you should actually change your workout routine, why over-optimising might sabotage your results, what metrics genuinely matter, and why simple programs often outperform constantly changing “perfect” ones.
