[Story]
I almost fired my online trainer even though he was good.
I was getting great results.
He was doing everything he should have been doing. I just didn't know it.
And that was the problem . . .

All trainers should work with trainers.
I'd known Jack for years and hired him.
We talked about my goals, he spoke to my chiro, and wrote me a stellar plan.

He'd check in, I'd say things were good.
Then, after 8 weeks, I called him, planning to fire him because he didn't change my program once in two months.
(What he said stopped in my tracks . . . )

"You're doing great bro!" He began.
"I'm looking at your weekly check-ins. You're making great progress week after week. I don't want to change your program because it's working so well."
Fucking right.
He's. Fucking. Right.

Just because some arbitrary measure of time has passed, it doesn't necessitate a new program.
Progression must be based on adaptation.
In this case, I was still adapting. Changing the program was ill-advised.
If I was bored, that wouldn't been a different story. I wasn't.

When it comes to fitness programming, often no action is the right action.
If something is working, you do not need to 'change it up.'

"Hey bro.
I've been looking at your check-ins. Your progress is great.
If you're bored, I can vary it a bit. But, if not, I want to keep it the same because it's working so well."
