RE: Building a Better Body (Part 8): How We Learn
Awesome write-up and closed with invaluable truth;
Trial-and-error, though tedious, is the best teacher
We can also apply this to every other aspect of growth and reality. Results speak louder then intent. After sufficient research, I will typically give a nutrition or training plan 60-90 days and let the results speak for themselves.
Getting healthy takes time, there's no quick fix pill or supplement.
Thanks @bbblackwell!
Thanks Jay! I remember in my late teens how every article I read would have me rewriting my routine... it was just a matter of being overzealous. Training the body - or mind - takes time, and is not a perfectly precise endeavor. Imagine if we knew the precise amount of training, recovery, and macro/micro nutrients we needed to maximize results - that’s the Holy Grail of fitness! Unlikely we’ll find it in this lifetime.
There are still many questions about training and nutrition, just as there are about the subtler nuances of morality. Mankind is probably about toddler age relative to beings of mature evolution (should they exist), and even that may be generous. It behooves one to be patient with children, for the good of all involved. But man, they can drive you crazy and get you so frustrated, even when the child you’re parenting is yourself.
