Becoming stronger is a science. This is all science.
Knowledge+action+intention= results.
You can crush a million epic sets all day but without a strategic approach behind the exercise, you’re going to end up with sore muscles, frustration and not much progress. And that sucks.
So how does one strategically get stronger?
It starts with the law of progressive overload. Which is quite simple in theory. (*Note: simple does not necessarily mean easy).
When we strategically increase our work capacity specific to movement and weight, with consistency, over time, our body reacts to the intensity and adapts to create density which in turn produces stronger muscles.
More work+more weight=growth.
Simple, right? In theory, sure. In practice, not so much.
What the theory does not account for are the personal variables: motivation, consistency, mental health challenges, life challenges, bad sleeping, etc… and that’s where a trainer needs to come in with a plan.
But it’s not as simple picking up heavier weights every week. The plan needs to factor in your lifestyle, the variables that can identified as barriers and most importantly, nutrition!
Your work in the gym will always be elevated by your work in the kitchen. That needs to be part of the plan.
A good trainer should always know how to cook:)
The benefits of strength are well beyond feeling good at the beach. Confidence, durability, better sleeping, mood stability, and so on. If you’re curious about what the rest of this list looks like, hit up the DMs and let’s chat.
