For me
1) Nutrition - macros, calorie count, nutrient dense foods as much as possible
2) Training - Proper training technique and form, intensity and consistency
3) Rest and Recovery - 6-8 hours of sleep, 2 rest days per week.
4) Supplements - Supplement what I can't get through food.

Many people I speak with at the gym
1) Training - overtraining
2) Supplements - drink a shake rather than eat a meal, pop pills rather than eat veges etc.
3) Nutrition - Don't track their calorie
4) Rest and Recovery - Workout 6-7 days a week, with minimal sleep

    i agree! you got it all together man!!
    i drink protein shakes, but only because im pretty busy.. but you have it right.. protein is protein.. you dont need a protein shake, because your body responds better to solid foods like chicken, or fish..
    Keep up the awesome work!

    Food - eating enough and preferably the Good Stuff, also not going too far over my calories too often.
    Exercise - do something active everyday (even if it's bowling or a walk with the kids on days off)
    Not overdoing it - listening to my body and mixing up what muscle group I'm working on.

    (as I type this, my 3 y/o is lifting my dog's bone like it's a dumbbell, lol!)
