Hierachy of Needs


I came across a great article on T-Nation which really helped to clarify a few things for me. I don't know about you but I certainly get pretty confused and frustrated by the wealth of information out there regarding fat loss, dieting, fitness etc.

This article looks at the basic 'Hierachy of Needs' for anybody looking to loose fat, build muscle etc. It basically looks at the core fundamentals which are essential to the success of any fitness routine/programme. If one of these things are missing or are not being utilised in the right way then you will never fully achieve your goals. For example, there is no point spending an hour on the treadmill everyday if your diet is still a load of crap! Simple right... so why do so many people get it wrong?!

Anyway, the Hierachy of Needs are based upon the following:

• Supplements — This being the top of the pyramid.
• Lifestyle
• Training
• Diet — This being the foundation of the pyramid.


I think this is a great article and provides an excellent understanding and starting point for anybody starting out. Use this as the basis for building your programme and it will provide you with a very strong foundation.
