Every training life contains the same twelve moments. The alarm you argue with. The bar you have avoided for eight months. The rep that stops two inches off the floor. The year the numbers go flat. The injury. The morning the warmup starts taking longer than it used to. None of it is new. None of it is even close to new. Marcus Aurelius wrote himself a note about getting out of bed, in a tent, on a frontier, during a war he was not winning. Musashi stopped dueling at twenty-nine and spent the next thirty years arguing that his body was never the reason he won. A Roman civil servant explained how an empire that was outnumbered, out-sized and out-thought beat every one of its enemies anyway - by standing in a yard and hitting a wooden post with a stick that was too heavy, every day, for centuries. Train On. puts twelve of those men beside twelve situations you have already been in, and finds them working on your problem before the barbell existed. It is not a program. It is the argument underneath one.
