Notes on training

General training notes and reminders. Referenced from programs.

How to make things harder (when you're feeling good)

• AMRAP
• Conditioning workouts
• Drop sets
• Finishers — lengthened partials, pullups, pushups, sissy squats, SL squats
• Isometric holds
• Less — rest between sets
• More — exercises (check the library); sets — slow squeeze
• Myorep matching

If you're not feeling good

• Don't worry about isolated hard days.
• Half sets — deload.

Reminders

• Do a proper warmup — it gets neuromuscular patterns going for more effective working sets.
• Gains go for YEARS. If it hasn't been 3 years, it's not time to give up size.
• Power training: QUALITY > QUANTITY. Rest as long as you need; do conditioning elsewhere, specifically.
• Stimulus & growth > ego weights.
• Stretch the muscle. FULL ROM.
