Foundation VI


Vairety

It's widely understood that over time, most programs have a goal of moving progressively heavier weight. But don't get hung up on load. We're training performance here. We're not training to be Mr. Olympia (God forbid).

Maybe you move similar weights, but decrease your rest? Maybe you start looking at power development and moving that load, or just yourself, as fast as possible. Maybe you change up the complexity and move two lighter objects instead of one. I'm not advocating that we never lift heavy. Lord knows I love picking heavy sh*t up. But we have to move beyond just lifting heavier.

Your body and your sustained results will thank you.
