Discerning Your Learning Curve!
This article is going to deal with you, your coachability, and how you respond to 3 things: Stimulus (internal and external factors), your Coach(es), and your lifestyle habits.
How often can you focus on the exact muscle you are working on, how the joint is feeling as it moves, and what components of your body are stabilized while doing all this?? Well, you might ask that to a room full of 100 gym goers and the answer might be "Me" from ohh, 10. Stimulus can be determined in how people are feeling (emotionally) at the moment, their inability to feel certain fibers contract at the intensity needed, or simply, what their training partner is saying to them. Some people might "feel" all those things at once, some might just be distracted easily by others around them. Point is, one way to discern your learning curve in attaining the goals you want is to realize what you DO with the stimulus presented to you. My coaching says, you are only as strong as your weakest link, so focus on what you are feeling intrinsically, learn what hurts, what prohibits, and find the distinction between perfect form and inhibited form.
Also, how many times have you been coached, but not really "took in" what you heard? In what ways could you coach have made it easier to understand what you needed to know at that particular moment? Do you enjoy your coach? These are other questions you should ask when discerning your learning curve. First of all, believe in the program. if you don't, results are hard to come by. Second, ASK questions. Find out ALL you can about what you are doing and WHY. Lastly, how can you get the most out of the program, your coach should have the answers, but if not, researching is not a bad thing. Just do it wisely, there are a LOT of opinions out there.
So, are your lifestyle habits interrupting your progression and gains? It should not be if you are focused on your goals, if you are seeking accountability with your coach or trainer, and if you are seriously making your lifestyle center around some aspects of health. What I mean by that is, are you eating clean 80% of the time or more? Does every weekend have some self control involved? Are your decisions in the drug area (tobacco and alcohol) wise?
These three discernment components will help you understand where you stand in achieving your goals. Really take a close look at your life, the way you receive instruction, and the way you actually FEEL the muscle move in your body. What ways can you improve all three to get the MOST out of your workouts and healthy living?
Good luck with everything you do!
