Great post! As an overanalyzer in general, I can often fall victim to over-thinking things.

I know it has been said many times, but great post. I am also one of those guys who overthinks when in the gym or planning my workouts. Nice eye opener.

this is by far the best post on bb.com. if more of the youngsters actually read this thread and understand it and follow it, you don't need to read anything else. period.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

This rule means that in anything 20% is vital and 80% is trivial. For example, Juran observed that 20% of the people owned 80% of the wealth.

OP, this is so true it hurts. Once again look at life. Look at the boss you have who freaks out over such small trivial things but has no direction or management skills, time management skills, people skills.
In my line of work it goes this way: If my only abilities are being able to start an IV faster than speed lightening, Able to change dressings with the best aseptic technique ever or have all the drug classes and adverse reactions catalouged in brain like an encyclopedia, I'm obviously missing out on the important 20% of skills which are critical thought, time management skills, people skills, giving a ****...those are the 20%, thats what matters the most.

You've made my day. The fact that someone on BB.com wrote an article incorporating the Pareto principle and powerlifting is just what I want to hear. The Pareto principle is part of almost every part of our lives, so why not include it in our training routines to enhance our lifts? Great job and keep up the stickies!

I really enjoyed this post and I know I over think things a lot too which in the long run could get me caught up.
Good post, and good job explaining what could have been a very tough idea.

Another articulate piece mate. You really know how to write these sticky things ay
Now if only we could get people to actually read these the boards might not be cluttered with so much crap.
But as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink.

Couldn't agree with you more, focus on what matters the most and forget about all the little stuff. Been working out for over 20 years, but it wasn't until just recently that I started to see some major gains. One reason is that I went back to basics and focused on big compound heavy lifts and eating right. I don't count calories or worry about all the fluff. Just go heavy with good form, eat and rest....
