It's Louse Time! Too much, too soon

If you're new to my list of focused, motivated, self- starters, Welcome.

(if you're not (new) jump right away to today's lesson
below)

Every day I communicate to you the best ways to train and the kind of mindset it takes to get results either in your physical fitness or martial art training.

Friday is always what I call: "Louse Time". Modeled after Bruce Lee's strategy in Enter the Dragon.

You know that part where he's having tea with the government agent but he's disturbed by one of his students and Bruce Lee tells the agent: It's Louse Time! The agent replies with his british accent: "yes of course".

Since I'm 6 years old that scene has always stuck with me and I'll be using that same strategy with YOU every week.

Friday is where I share with you Life Lessons and Direction given to me by my dad (and Sifu) every Friday.

Today's lesson is: Too much, too soon.

That phrase can be traced back to Paul Newman's 1977 Slap Shot movie when there's this general fight on the ice within a few minutes of the first period and the radio announcer hutters these words into the mic.

If we could all live by this simple rule, many problems could be avoided.

Everything you do has to be in balance.

As I mentioned to you in the past you should be training a maximum of 3 times a week.

I keep very meticulous stats and my numbers are best when I allow the most time for recovery.

Sometimes taking an entire week off of doing a certain exercise I'm struggling with will work wonders.

The "Off time" won't just make you stronger but will also allow you to absorb it better. By that I mean, you will perform the exercise with less effort, you'll have better technique, you'll feel like you own the movement, it will be imprinted in your muscle memory.

Let nature take its course,

Master Yourself,

Sifu Martin
