Lift Fitness & Health Studio Peace River

Coach Heidi here! Let's talk training periodization! I use the word a lot when talking about our training plans, but what does it mean exactly?

Here’s a quick & general summary of how I periodize training:

Within every MACRO cycle of training (that's the longest term cycle- lets say one year) there should be multiple MESO cycles (medium term, like 3 months) and within those, are your MICRO cycles (weeks), where certain things are put on maintenance mode and other things become the priority.

This is a wholistic approach to make sure you have balanced training and each element has time to be prioritized. It's what we do in the studio and what I do with my clients.

For example, within a yearly MACRO cycle, I'll program MESO cycles where we prioritize hypertrophy (muscle growth), injury prevention, weak points, squat, bench and/or press variation, or that sort of thing- depending on the person and the goal.

Each of these focuses play a major role, and they can’t all be maximized at the same time. So periodization is used to figure out what should be prioritized at different points within your yearly macro cycle!

Make sense? I don't want you training aimlessly and waste your time in the gym! If you'd like your own training plan to get started download our app and I'll set you up with a program https://elitetrainr.page.link/MnXHuGqLb7omos2i9

Guys. Sufficient protein intake is SO important for muscle growth because protein is the main component of muscle tissue and helps repair and maintain it! It also stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of creating *new muscle fibers* after strength training. (Muscle GROWTH)

Without enough protein, the body will break down muscle to provide the essential amino acids it needs for other functions, leading to muscle LOSS! (noooo😭)

To build muscle, you need to consume more protein than what is broken down by your body! Chat with
Or myself for some realistic protein goals specific to YOU.
