This week we introduce a new segment we’re calling Andy’s Eats, showcasing some of his favorite delicious recipes and how they’ve turned out. Speaking of cooking, I like to follow a recipe for a number of reasons, but after a while, I’ll start to tweak things here and there to put my own spin on it. Andy and I recognize that there are parallels with training and coaching: first, you need to know the rules before you can break them. Once you’ve cooked a handful of recipes (or crushed a few workouts from your coach) then you start to learn the ins and outs and where you can put your own spin on things. There’s a process, and once you know the process then you can start to tweak to make it uniquely your own. The first step, however, is to start: take those first steps and after many hours under the bar or in the kitchen you’ll find that you’re well on your way to mastery.
