You know what I’m really getting tired of? The mass of people who want to do things “One way”. If you read my carb article, I showed you why some people can effectively follow the Paleo (caveman) type eating lifestyle while others can do whatever the fuck they want and still feel like a million bucks.

Well, today I shift that focus towards training. It doesn’t matter what you do, EVERYTHING works at least once. So many guys like to do things only one way. “Lift heavy and use drop sets bro, you’ll get jacked!”. “Naw naw, you don’t need that shit man, body weight exercises are the best!”... STFU you tunnel-visioned assmonkeys. Let FJ do the talking. You need to realize how adaptable your body is. I don’t think people have grasped this concept yet. Like, have you seen people survive shark attacks and all that crazy shit? It’s insanity. Have you seen the video of that kick boxer who snapped his shins in half, then came back stronger than before? Sounds impossible, but the proof is right there, in front of you.

So why would you stick to one type of training method? It’s fucking boring, and it’s useless. It honestly doesn’t matter if you do:

Supersets
Dropsets
Waveloading
Progressive Loading
Body Weight Training
Heavy Weight Training
Isolation Exercises
Full Body Exercises
Plyometrics
Cult Fit
Hight Intensity Interval Training
Eccentric Specific Training
Static Contraction Training
Strength Training
Hypertrophy Training
Bands and Chains Training
Stabilization Work
Core Training
Cardiovascular Training

… it all works, at least once. I’m not even scratching the surface here, but realize that some of the techniques and training methods I mentioned above work better than others, and some have a longer “effective life span” than others. What I mean by this is that applying Progressive Loading to your routine will be more effective for a longer period of time than just doing plyometrics.

Still, at some point you’ll strop progressing so you might want to switch that out for a couple of weeks and do something else. Give your muscles and nervous system time to recover, then come back and fucking kill it once again.

Here’s another crazy concept… combinations. Pick two totally different types of training methods and try it out for 3 weeks. Then, pick two more. Then criss-cross the two from the previous 6 weeks and see how that works. The permutations you can come up with number in the thousands.

Actually, I calculated it. If you can use any 3 techniques or methods mentioned above then you’ll end up with 4080 different permutations… assuming repetition is allowed. That is a SHITLOAD to choose from. Go try all four-thousand-eighty. I dare ya!
