Training for Size v. Strength

Happy Fa-La-La Friday, frens!
I’m so stoked to share this new strength workout with you!
It’s a three-month macrocycle divided into three smaller, four-week mesocycle workouts that gradually help you develop strength (vs. size).
There is a difference… especially for women.

📝Keeping Training Logs Are Critical for Real Progress
Wingin’ it don’t work!
For the OG’s, you’ve heard me say for years that what gets measured gets managed.
Whether you keep an old school pen-n-paper training log or use one of the hundreds of apps that will track for you…
…knowing your previous weights, reps, fatigue, etc is crucial in order to progress effectively.
First, unless you’re Rain (Wo)man, it is impossible to remember every rep count, every set, every weight, how you were feeling for every single exercise from the week before.
If you’re simply winging it, you’re wasting your time and short-changing your results in a disappointing way.
You won’t be executing based on past performance but instead making uninformed guesses that will get you nowhere.
You’ll be wasting time looking up the next exercise if you didn’t take the time to log it in your training journal.
Once you have the workout logged, all you need to every week is see how the reps and sets have changed.
Preparation = success.
Don’t do this on the fly at the gym while metabolites flush from your muscles because you’re scrolling and calorie burn drops.
✅ Keeping a training log is an absolute must for this upcoming cycle of strength.
Don’t screw yourself over.🔩🪛
