Strength Lifting Basics
The basics are for everyone because our foundation is built on our ability with the basics.
THE BASICS:
1. Technique
It doesn’t matter if we have been lifting for years, coming back to it, or starting for the first time understanding and being able to move within the general pattern that is most option for strength will go a long way. This means you may need to keep loads or speed slightly lower at first to ensure you can move within the technique provided. We are not going for perfect but there are certain patterns of movement that are more optimal than others to move in!
2. Consistency
Because repetition of these simple strength workouts creates familiarity with simple strength movements allowing you to keep showing up without needing to overthink!
Accountability and fun with consistent repetition will build your strength and confidence week by week!
KNOW THAT Consistency could be once a week, alternating 2 times a week with 1 times week in biweekly chunks
3. Load & Intensity
After being able to show consistency and control with lower level challenge, then we can start to increase weight/load, volume meaning how many reps per set, or speed!
4. Ensure Recovery & Continued Gains
Include breathwork to release tension, and stretching to maintain flexibility in your muscles between strength sessions to support your body recovering. Workouts create stimulus for gains, we MUST recover in order to actually receive the gains!
Check out this Recovery Worksheet to help you plan for your recovery!
