The First Two Weeks: What Nobody Tells You

All lessons

The goal of your first week is to come back for your second week.

My first weightlifting class, I gave it everything, and my legs gave out stepping off a curb in the parking lot. It took me ten days to recover and I didn't want to go back. In this lesson I'll tell you the three things nobody warns you about in the first two weeks, and give you a plan so simple it's hard to get wrong.

In this lesson

• What's happening when you're sore, and why it's normal unless it keeps you away
• The reward trap, and why "I earned this" keeps you stuck
• Exactly what week one and week two should look like
• The ten rep rule that tells you you're not overdoing it
