In the latest episode of @anabolicradio I had the pleasure of chatting to my friend @brianminor where we discuss the nuances of progression, periodization, mesocycle structure, and fatigue management..Think more overtime.Not more overnight..Oftentimes many people who go to the gym, whether that be for recreational, or competitive reasons- fall for the fallacy of thinking more is better, or thinking the only way to ‘progress’ is by increasing load/weight for movements..When in many cases, before even considering any means of progression- we must ensure that a proper foundation is set in place and we are competent with our execution across all movement patterns..Overlooking this critical step in building a proper foundation to later progress on is similar to building a skyscraper with a rubbish foundation..Furthermore, there are contextual and practical limitations to progression- imagine trying to progress a lateral raise by 5-10lb increments every other week or so- it’s extremely realistic and if we consider progression from a relative perspective that will differ when compared to something like an RDL [isolation vs compound movements]..The truth is…There are MANY training variables we can manipulate within the context of a training program in order to progress the stimulus, outside of load lifted, such as:- Effort (RPE/RIR)- Reps- Sets- Tempo- Rest Periods- Improved execution.Tune into the full episode to understand principles for progression. .➢ HAWK FIT COACHING: https://hawkfitcoaching.com/​➢ SHOP LEGION: BuyLegion.com/Ishak 'HAWKFIT' FOR 20% OFFCONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:➢ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/Ishak_Ishak​➢ SNAPCHAT: Ishak_Ishak➢ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HawkFitCoach​...➢ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/_IshakIshak​Support the show
