Why You Need a Workout Plan

So your doing workouts but you aren’t seeing the results you want. What’s going on?

First I want to give you credit for getting the work in. I know how frustrating it can been whe your putting in the work but are not seeing results.

There can be many different reasons for this. One of these are the workouts you are doing are not programmed and structured to get results. Sadly many “fun looking” workouts that are pushing by fitness influencers are all for show and likes.

Effective training programs are written using the following principles of strength training.

Periodization
Requires the application of planned phase changes and cycles in programming to drive physical and metabolic adaptations to improve performance. Using periodization builds each phase upon the last one.

Progressive Overload
States that we need to overload the neuromuscular systems over time to create and sustain physiological adaptations from strength training. Without this progressive overloading, muscle growth will plateau.

Progression
States that one should not progress any more than 10% each week in training time, distance covered, or weight used in a given exercise or activity. Sticking to the 10% rule allows for gradual body adaptions and reduces the likelihood of overuse injuries.

Specificity
States that the body’s adaptation or change in physical fitness is specific to the type of training undertaken. To get better at a specific movement pattern or exercise, we need to practice and refine that movement pattern or exercise.

Acute Variables
Are the most fundamental components of a good training program. These include sets, reps, rest periods, intensity, volume, duration, frequency, and tempo.
