On Beth's last back squat cycle, we took her percentages along with a back squat wave progression to build up her strength and consistency in her lifts!! š„
We built in weight week to week and used wave cycles with a few variations of š7 - 5 - 3, š5 - 3 - 1, and š3 - 2 - 1. Nice work on this cycle, Beth!
Progressions adjust training loads and intensity based on individual needs and recovery. āā By utilizing these in our programming, it builds long-term progress and sustainability along with reducing risk of injury and overtraining. šš¼ (And shocker š²: we don't only do this with strength cycles š)
The principle of progression is the idea that as your body adapts to your exercise routine šš¼āāļø, you have to change the intensity to continue to see enhanced fitness. š This can mean gradually increasing the weight šŖš¼, duration ā±ļø, or rep scheme š„µ of your training in order to see growth.
