#100 - Chasing everything , catching nothing
from The Larry Doyle Coaching Podcast · host Larry Doyle
The fastest way to stall your progress is to keep changing the plan. We get stuck in shiny magpie syndrome when we jump from workout to workout, trend to trend, supplement to supplement, telling ourselves the basics “don’t work” while we’re not even nailing attendance, calories, and recovery. Daniel and I break down why the boring fundamentals win, and why you need to repeat the right stimulus long enough for your body to adapt. We talk honestly about programme hopping, FOMO, and the fitness bandwagons that look exciting on Instagram but rarely match your actual goal. If you want fat loss, you need a sustained calorie deficit and patience. If you want muscle building, you need structured resistance training with progressive overload and enough food to recover. We also dig into hybrid training trends like Hyrox and why seeing a great physique doing a certain style of training doesn’t mean that training built the physique. Context matters, history matters, and results leave clues. Then we get into the part people avoid: recovery, health, and real life constraints. Doing seven sessions a week on low calories can look “hardcore” while leaving you burnt out, under-fuelled, and running on fumes. We discuss red flags, why performance often improves when you eat more and do slightly less, and how good coaching meets you in the middle with phased, sustainable changes. If you’re ready to stop chasing novelty and start building momentum, press play, then share this with someone who’s stuck on the latest trend.
