Every GooRoo with a ring light and a peptide discount code is screaming from the digital void about the newest shiny object.
​
Maybe it’s a peptide.
​
Perhaps a biohack.
​
Or some fresh study proving your left hamstring must be trained at exactly 37.2 degrees of hip flexion during a waxing moon.
​
Next comes the miracle superfood harvested from a secret Amazon tributary by barefoot monks with three piranhas stuck to their ass.
​
Revolutionary.
​
Game changing.
​
Until next Tuesday. Tune in then.
​
Meanwhile, the actual “secret” is sitting quietly in the corner wearing old sweatpants because it is far too boring to go viral.
​
Violent consistency.
​
That’s it.
​
Day after day.
​
Week after week.
​
Months turn into years.
​
Years pile into decades.
​
Intelligent work performed with violent consistency.
​
And yes, I mean violent.
​
Because you are making entropy your beooootch.
​
Entropy wants disorder.
​
Muscle disappears.
​
Conditioning fades.
​
Skills rust.
​
Health drifts.
​
Attention gets kidnapped by shiny nonsense.
​
Your move?
​
Push back.
​
Train.
​
Eat the protein.
​
Sleep.
​
Practice the skill.
​
Do the boring aerobic work nobody posts about.
​
Pick up heavy things.
​
Keep moving when motivation has packed its bags, flipped you the bird, and left for Cancun.
​
Not recklessly.
​
Not stupidly.
​
Consistently.
​
Build that foundation first.
​
Then play with the fancy stuff.
​
Try the programming trick.
​
Experiment with the biohack.
​
Test the supplement.
​
Nibble on the radioactive Amazon moonberry.
​
Maybe something moves the needle 2%.
​
Perhaps 5%.
​
Cool.
​
But 5% stacked on top of jack squat is still jack squat.
​
Boring fundamentals executed relentlessly will Derrick Henry random flashes of optimization every darn time.
​
Kudos to you for doing the work when nobody is watching...
​
when progress feels glacial...
​
when the PR refuses to show up...
​
when life gets messy...
​
Pat yourself on the back.
​
You earned it.
​
Then get your happy a$$ back to work. haha
​
Much love and violent consistency,
Dr. Mike
