Wittgenstein - a note to self

This is a reminder to myself of something I was thinking about around how to present my ideas on training.

I have always been impressed by Wittgenstein's Tractatus. 7 propositions stating the whole of his philosophy. Each except the last elucidated by some others.

Could I do that about fitness training?

Can it all be kept simple? A series of simple propositions?

So much of the fitness blogosphere thrives on complexity, jargon. Can we just make it clear and simple?

Zen?

Maybe not 7 propositions but certainly just a few key ideas.

What will be in the mix?

  • The goal is max fibre recruitment; the exercises, the protocol is secondary to this.
  • There is no such thing as cardio.
  • Much of what we call fitness is skill.
  • Safety is fundamental.
  • Posture has a role. Poor posture can mean less efficient movement and more wear and tear.
  • Sleep...just sleep
  • Eat appropriate quantity, optimum quality and suitable composition.
  • Stress needs managed.


Do you see where I am going with this?

Update - by the way, this is in no way an exhaustive list, just somethings that were going through my mind last night.  Also I had a reread of Hillfit and think that I actually articulated some of this pretty well in there, it is just that I wrote that about 8 months ago and have forgotten a lot of what I presented.
