I think the EFas are converted directloy to Test in my body. I am super lazy aned mnot wantoing to work. But I have my libido out ouf contraol., I mean three times last night than once this morning.l Damn!!!!! I need to start devoting this energy to lifting the weights!

None of the above.

Attitude.

I was just about to say 'none of the above' but for different reasons.

Why would recovery be tied into #1? What about contrast showers? GPP? Cardio? Stretching? Icing? Active recovery?

In any case, none of the variables take prescedence; they need to be diligently seeken to optimize your goals. As such, the question is somewhat void.

you won't get anywhere without intensity !

 

[b fold the truth]

There are tons of factors that go into progressive resistance training. All must be dealt with properly. I feel, with myself, that my diet plays a large role in how strong that I am. I know that the intensity is going to be there, the attitude, the proper program, and rest...but diet is the one thing that always fluctuates. I must concentrate on eating a lot of food...and often.

For me...diet is the most important...even though my diet is a lot different from most others.

"you won't get anywhere without intensity !"

Are you defining intensity as effort?

In both cases I disagree.

[edgecrusher]

All things being equal, I take it we are accepting the fact that we are all exercising. That being said, all the intensity in the world will not help you, if you do not take in the nutrients necessary to grow. All these factors are intinsiquley linked. Without all of them in place, you will never reach your full potential.

For me, importance ranks as this

1. Diet (without this one other aims are difficult to achieve)
2. Recovery - I would consider this a separate point
3. Selection of exercises
4. Intensity
5. Number days per week

 

[ZZuluZ]

While they are intrinsically linked it'd be interesting to see the true importance of diet.

My suspicion is that it isn't overly important, but that's just my personal guess.
