Adaptive Training Systems

How you associate specific training as easy vs hard days is holding you back

Let your coach organize the training structure, just put full intent to most of your sessions and don’t worry about labels/nomenclature

Just making good decisions with putting the right weight on the bar with full effort (it’s that simple)

Understand what creates the environment for PRs Framework

I see too many lifters obsessed with the singular metric of PR’s as the only proxy for progress

Understanding what qualities or process oriented systems need to be handled to create an environment for great training and by proxy maximizing your potential as a lifter

One of my best and worst traits over my powerlifting career was being incredibly stubborn

This worked until well.. it didn’t

Over the last few years training has been tough, lots of lows and very little highs and part of the reason I think was my refusal to change up my training or reframe my goals

I wasn’t really loving training but I was too stubborn/attached to pivot

Recently, in December and January

I was kinda forced to make serious changes and reframe training and fast forward to now , training is starting to look normal again

So the message here is it’s okay to pivot goals and train a bit differently to not dread training and work on movement or rehab and forgo comp specific lifting for a period of time

So long as you maintain your muscle mass, you can bounce back pretty fast
