EP. 28 BRIAN MINOR- PRINCIPLES OF PROGRESSION: & FATIGUE MANAGEMENT

Hawk Fit Presents: Anabolic Radio

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.
