Minimum Effective Dose

4. You definitely had some influence!

For some reason I was being incredibly disciplined and organized in my diet, my water intake and supplements. But when it came to strength training I wasn't logging anything or planning workouts in a scientific way until the new year's goals thread you started, and I saw how you had your plan laid out.

I understand what you mean about not sticking to the minimum needed, I'm like that on the bicycle. I KNOW I'd get better results with 20 minutes of tabata intervals, but I really like heading out for a couple hours instead. I'm not sure yet if I'll try a more efficient routine for that when bike season starts again.
