The short answer: The training session is the body standard's kept appointment: weightlifting on a schedule, inside what the body allows, honest about limits, no fake lifts — graded like every other commitment.
What it is
A scheduled block of real training — on the calendar at a time the day can't easily steal, kept whether the feeling shows up or not.
Why it's scheduled
Busy fathers don't fail for lack of workouts; they fail for lack of kept appointments. Scheduling moves the decision from the moment of weakness to the night before, where the committed version of you holds the pen.
How Frank runs it
Training documented daily — cable work, real weight, inside his arm's limits, progress shown and never prescribed. The session belongs to the calendar, which means the feeling doesn't get a vote.
How it scores
Session: done or not. The mirror keeps the detailed records; the scorecard keeps the man honest about showing up.
