Progressive overload counts





www.bodybynaturesupplements.com

Here is one of my most popular posts on this page:

It's interesting... The more advanced you get as a trainee, you realise more and more, that once the fundamentals of both training & nutrition are in the place. The minor details really make little if any difference what so ever.







-Progressive overload counts.
-Energy balance does matter.
-Tracking macro nutrient intake & calories is the main determining factor to influence body composition.

The limiting factor isn't the obvious:

it's not what most people think of, it's not whether or not you downed your dextrose and whey shake 45 seconds after training, it isn't whether or not you maxed out Growth Hormone by fasting after your workout (which makes no difference in the natural physiological range anyway), it isn't to do with the balance between your omega 3 to omega 6 consumption, it isn't to do with how good the pump was during the session, it isn't to do with how "clean" you think you're diet is because you don't track your food intake anyway....


You mess about in the minor details and miss the bigger picture. You get the point.....

The limiting factor is actually, "time". It takes "time" to make progress, it takes "time" to lose fat or build muscle. But no one wants to hear that, but that's the truth!

Everyone loves to hear about "the next best supplement or whatever" that's bulls**t and you know it!

Stop wasting your time in the minor details, open your eyes.... Apply the basics, measure your progress, make changes when you need to, and be patient.... Be very patient, the people you want to look like have years of training under their belts (if not decades).



Remember that...

3 ways to improve a squat

www.bodybynaturesupplements.com



3 things that have improved my squat:



1) Breathing:
Getting to grips with the timing of my breath and creating a strong mid section to support back back when lifting heavy. Its amazing how much of a roe this plays during a heavy set.

2) Increasing range of motion on dorsiflexion:
Increasing range at the ankle has proved for a more comfortable range and overall stronger lift. Simple stretches have made a big difference here.

3) Taking a wider hand grip:
Before I was taking a too narrow grip and not getting my elbows under bar. Its crazy how much this subtle change can allow better shoulder position and improve my lift so much. An extra 2 inches made all the difference 


There is of course more to the squat than this but these subtle attentions to detail have been huge for me.

 Its all about trial and error and finding what works for you.

Keep monitoring your training, asses where changes can be made, apply, log and repeat.
