The first strategy here is to adopt simple training programs, such as the Simple & Sinister one by Tsatsouline... Many practitioners appreciate its simplicity, reducing the cognitive cost of training and addressing the “tyranny of choice” involved in the numerous decisions required when planning training. The routinized and repetitive aspects of physical practice are considered to lighten the mental load, thus offering an opportunity to focus on the basics and consolidate progress. As [study participant] Max explains, “when I read Simple & Sinister for the first time, I really recognized the philosophy of Karate as it was taught to me and as I try to pass it on: simple, effective, tough, with the constant desire to repeat, repeat to improve. We don’t travel from one point to another, no; we focus on the essential and repeat it to refine it constantly.” As for [participant] Romain, he returns to the Simple & Sinister program, already practiced for several years, “when [he doesn’t] know what to do” or “when [he doesn’t] feel like thinking.”
