Basic & Brilliant: Strength Training Fundamentals That Never Fail
Unlock the power of simplicity in this episode of "Basic & Brilliant: Strength Training Fundamentals That Never Fail." We dig deep into why the tried-and-true basics of strength training have stood the test of time and why they remain the backbone of any successful program.
What exactly are “the basics,” and why are they often misunderstood as “too simple”? We break it all down, exploring how patience and precision turn simplicity into strength. Basics does not just apply to exercises, there are basic principles to periodization and programming as well.
You'll gain insights into key programming principles, including the inverse relationship between volume and intensity and how to understand it effectively. Learn why prioritizing movement patterns over isolated muscle groups brings clarity and efficiency to your training, and discover how to spot the difference between a program that’s “basic but brilliant” and one that’s just plain lazy.
