I’d like to set this up as a little intro into a 3-part series
called “L.E.S is More”
L.E.S is a simple acronym for Lift, Eat, Sleep, or as I’d
like to think, the bare essentials of getting into shape or living a healthy
lifestyle.
In today’s world we are able to access much more information
than we were 10-20 years ago thanks to advances in online capabilities. Why
this can be a good thing, it can also lead to information overload. How do we
know what is healthy? What lifting method works the best? What supplement will
help me do X & Y? With all the new information available, it seems we tend
to forget the basic things that built the platform for those questions to even
be asked. This is why I encourage people to step away from the overload and
focus on the three most crucial elements to any successful body or lifestyle
transformation.
Lift. Eat. Sleep.
Each subsequent post will go into a little more detail of
how LES can actually be more, and how to take advantage of each component to achieve
maximal results.
Trust me; I used to be that guy on the other side, trying to
find the latest supplement or latest and greatest routine. It wasn’t until I stepped
away and really thought about what my goal was. I wasn’t training to be the
next Ronnie Coleman or Bo Jackson; I just wanted to maximize what my body could
do for my personal satisfaction. Subsequently I realized the differences
between doing those special routines and taking those magic pills/powders are
clearly immaterial & PFW (s/o to my fellow accountant’s lol).
So please stay tuned and on the lookout for the next couple
posts. Step away from the information overload, assess what your true goals
are, and focus on the basics of: Lifting, Eating, and Sleeping. Give it some
time and hopefully you will be achieving those goals like I am…
