that’s true although doing some regularly might add up to more than you’d think. i use to struggle doing more than about five or six pull-ups. then i bought a pull-up bar and hung it in my office. i would occasionally do one when i walked by, but never more than a few. then one day i just tried to do as many as i could… and i did 18. i eventually gave up the habit but did start lifting weights again many years later. yet no matter how many sets i did at the gym or go hard i pushed myself, going 3x a week, i never got above 6 or 7. not even half what i’d done before and i’d never pushed myself hard before. It’s not an absolute but it seems consistency was the trick, even above pushing myself. i’d since learned a few different skills and always been amazed at how far pretty small amounts of time can take you if you replace effort with consistency. And likewise how maximum effort and long sessions weren’t as important as i thought. consistency is really hard but knowing that it does add up, even when small, makes it much easier.
