What Intermediate Lifters Can Learn From Beginners

Nice thread, will keep all in mind.

I think hitting on the lack of patience is very important. Honestly, a part of me was relieved when I realized I'd be better served going on a more linear schedule with my lifts, because it meant progress was more tangible. The intermediate phase is very hazy...you could be grinding away, and then miss your cals for a few days, or train at the wrong times, and suddenly it's like the work you put in never happened. You could fuck up big time when you're a novice and still get somewhere.

Thanks for posting. Now I don't feel so bad for doing some bicep curls.

Well I feel your pain, and have had months of training time taken away for those reasons. I even had something similar during the first 4 weeks of smolov...
