Feeling like you’re not making progress in your workouts
So, how’s it going? Are your workouts getting results, or do you feel like you’re not making progress? If your answer is yes, there’s no need to read the rest… lol
But if your answer is no… answer the questions below in your head.
Questions
1️⃣Do you prioritize compound exercises?
2️⃣Do you use the full range of motion correctly?
3️⃣Do you know how to use tempo to maximize your workout?
4️⃣Do you use intensity techniques to prevent plateaus?
5️⃣Do you alternate between mechanical tension and metabolic stress?
If you answered no to any of the questions above
That could be why you’re not making progress in your workouts. Now, if your answer was no to more than one question… it would be best to completely reassess your training program.
How to make more progress in your workouts
A good glute workout helps you keep strengthening your glute muscles without having to completely change your exercise routine.
Put simply: every time you do a compound exercise to train your “legs,” you’re training your glutes too… and vice versa. There are variations we can do to emphasize one area or another, but it’s not possible to completely isolate the muscles mentioned in these compound exercises!
Another way to make progress in your workouts is to increase the weight you use when performing specific movements. Just be sure to increase the weight gradually. Make too big a jump too quickly, and you risk injuring yourself.
Don’t know the tempo for the exercises in your lower-body workout? You should know it and have that information on hand…
Remember that weight training is about more than simply pulling or pushing weights at random!
According to several studies, contraction times close to 60 seconds, with repetitions lasting between 4 and 6 seconds—in other words, time (in seconds)—are ideal for designing hypertrophy workouts. But we have plenty of ways to vary these training stimuli.
