How To Go Hard, Even When You Don’t Want To - Sam Sulek - #1157

Sulik argues raw training intensity and self-directed consistency outperform over-optimized protocols, coaching, or hyped peptide/GLP-1 interventions.

• Train harder, not just smarter: Sam Sulik argues exercise-science optimization studies use sedentary, average subjects, so for serious lifters simply increasing training intensity beats chasing niche technique or supplement hacks.
• Momentum compounds both ways: Sam describes an 'upward spiral' (hard training better sleep/appetite more progress) versus a downward spiral of skipped workouts and junk food, tied to Chris Williamson's 'Matthew principle' on compounding habits.
