Only a very small part of strength training is about
actually lifting the weights - the vast majority of it is really about
conquering human nature The rules of progressive resistance, overload recovery
and specificity can all be explained in about 10 minutes (whether they are
understood or not is another story.
But beyond that, its human nature to want
to believe there is something more than "might" be there.
Consequently, many people believe all kinds of crazy
things about strength training which have no bearing on reality. What's more, they spend hours and hours and
hours, reading courses, asking questions on internet forums, reading articles
talking to so "experts" and doing plenty of things having to do
"with" training -- but not actually training.
It's all fine and good to have a hobby, and it's also
all fine and good to be passionate about something but when it comes to
strength training as Farmer Burns said a century ago "The actual work is
what counts."
Once you "get it" (i.e. understand what it is
you need to be doing when you train -- which is really as simple as can be) you
are faced with one last philosophical question:
"Will
I do this -- or not?"
This is a question that you have to answer; no one else
can answer it for you.
