You Can't Learn in 20-Second Bites
If you’re unwilling to watch, listen to, or read anything that takes more than 20 seconds, you will never learn anything that can’t be presented completely and accurately in 20 seconds … which is very little.
Time spent on quality, longer-form content will produce far better results than the same amount of time accumulated with an incohesive bunch of 20-second, reductive, click-baity clown shows necessarily intended more to capture your attention than to teach you anything valuable.
Relying on this kind of information is like playing the lottery as an investment strategy—it’s quick and easy, but unless you get astronomically lucky, at best it may just barely pay for itself.
Invest your time and effort into quality sources of information—longer form videos, articles and if you’re feeling incredibly bold, maybe even books… remember those from the olden days?
And yes, this absolutely applies to everything in life, not just weightlifting.
Remember that reading—not a tweet or an instagram caption, but actual reading—isn’t just a way to view information—the act itself bolsters your intelligence and ability to absorb, analyze and assimilate information, and transform it into knowledge.
I realize this sounds like a spittle-blasting soapbox rant, but quit letting media platforms determine your ability to learn and improve by telling you what to view.
They have one purpose: showing you what makes them the most money. That means attention-capturing content, which gets progressively briefer and stupider by the minute, as consequently do our attention spans and brains, respectively.
Take the initiative and seek out quality information that provides you want YOU want and need—don’t just sit around like a helpless child waiting for your media mommy to spoon-feed your dipshit slop and devolve into a drooling self-destructive lump.
Anyway, hope your training is great today.
