Reread matthew perrymans book, squat every day, last week to see if i could gain additional tidbits about what im trying to accomplish.
The piece that rang true to me this time is 'individual workouts mean nothing.' My largest derailment on programs ive written (or naturally enhanced) is my interest dries up the moment the gains train does. This may happen for several reasons unrelated to the gym. Poor sleep, work stress, and (lets be honest) an occasional rock and roll lifestyle.
It usually goes like this
- The gains in reps or weight stop for 2 weeks
- small grief, acceptance, change movements
- new movement is weaker than it ever has been. Continues to get worse. Wtf.jpeg
- switch to another movement or reset weight entirely. Same shit happens
- get tired during work hours. Cant sleep. Classic. Start emotional eating, get fatter than when i started. Question my judgement
- change program. Ooooo i like this!
- repeat
High frequency means that stalled progress on a workout means absolute dick. There is no end goal of tapering (i.e. periodization, the answer to fatigue management), just work. The prs will come, and they will come without breaking the bank.
Fun little bonus.
