Episode Synopsis
Enjoy the episode!
Takeaways:
- When progressing a workout program, it's important to gauge intensity using RPE (rate of perceived exertion)
- For rep ranges, start closer to the bottom of the range in week one and aim to progress reps each week until reaching the top of the rep range
- The main progression point is the first set, and subsequent sets can be adjusted based on the progress of the first set
- Progression can be achieved by adding weight or increasing reps. Progression over time is key in training for body composition improvements
- Training should be individualized based on goals, preferences, and experience level
