Keep it Simple, Stupid

I firmly believe that simplicity is the key to consistency. And consistency is the key to both gains and long term health.

The less equipment needed to complete your training, the more likely you are to not skip training – no matter if you're traveling, strapped for time, strapped for cash, stuck in lockdown over some apocalyptic virus, deployed overseas, dealing with busy family responsibilities, or even if you're just at your regular gym free of all adversity.

The less complex your exercise selection is, the more likely you'll be to progress in your lifts by improving technique and increasing reps or load over time.

The more simple your program design, the more likely you'll be able to work hard on the lifting instead of working hard mentally trying to remember your routine.

Keeping it simple removes obstacles that might prevent you from showing up and making gains.
