Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I can barely carve out one workout block, but I’m home all day near a pull-up bar
• I want to actually get stronger but I’ll never commit to a full lifting session
• When I run the whole thing end to end, my strong parts quietly cover for my weak one, so the actual bottleneck never gets touched
• I cram everything into one long marathon session and walk away feeling like I’ve nailed it, then a few days later it’s mostly gone
• I already know what I’m good at, but I only ever use those strengths in the same few familiar places

Practices that may help

   Isolate the rate-limiting component and drill it directly.
