properly and in its entirety—with the whole package of considerations in

The joy of training
23.35 Abbreviated, focused and basics-first training is a joy to perform because it
brings workout-by-workout satisfaction from realizing small bits of progress.
Effective training makes you feel good. You revel in it, and thus apply
even more zeal. en you get better gains. e confidence developed may

in the gym shows you the way to go outside of the gym.

23.37 I have said it before, and I will keep on saying it: Hardly anyone makes the

23.39 Get excited over the opportunity to push yourself hard in the gym. Revel
in the blessing of good health that permits you to push yourself hard in the
gym. A day will come when you (and I) will not be able to go through the
rigors of a hard workout, a day when you (and I) will not be able to savor the
excitement and enjoyment that accompanies a workout.
