💫 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 💫⁠

"Zach has been a trusted coach and advisor throughout my fitness journey. His programs are tailored to the individual and emphasize simplicity. Most importantly, he is there throughout the program and provides valuable tips and insights to ensure that you feel confident with every movement and are getting the most out of the program. I was seeing measurable results in the first few months with him by being committed and consistent. In fact, I had to buy a whole new wardrobe after 4 months because all my shirts were all looking too baggy and my pants kept falling down! In a year of training with Zach, I went from 157 lbs to a lean 140 lbs! At the end of the day, I have Zach to thank for helping me become a healthier and more confident individual."⁠

We worked on rebuilding Mike's metabolism:⁠
✅ Went from inconsistent eating habits undereating on the weekdays and overeating on the weekends (averaging 1500 calories/day) to consistently eating 2300 calories every day.⁠
✅ Went from 157 to 140 lbs⁠
⁠
Mike made the choice to focus on simplicity and by following the process with consistency he reached his desired goal of leading a healthier lifestlye. His unwavering drive to CHOOSE to be healthier. His decision to CHOOSE to be happier.⁠

You get to choose.⁠

Small changes over long periods of time add up to create steady progress.

During Keeping it Simple a few weeks ago, I talked about the importance of progressive overload in your training program as well as how to implement it.

One way to create progressive overload is through range of motion. During one mesocycle (4-6 weeks of training) focus on a “normal range of motion” demonstrated by the lunges in the first picture.

During your next mesocycle, use the same movement but increase the range of motion that is used, such as Front Foot Elevated Lunges shown the second picture.

Creating your training program shouldn’t be complicated.

What does it mean to “go until failure”?

This is one of the most deceiving phrases in all of fitness, it gives us the impression that we must go until we cannot anymore.

Working out and lifting weights have one ultimate goal which is quality, controlled movement. Good movement contributes to all of the other byproducts associated with working out (aesthetics, strength, mobility, performance etc.).

Going until failure during exercise is usually associated with the point when your muscles reach fatigue and are no longer able to perform a movement at all.

If you recall that the paramount goal of working out is quality, controlled movement, then muscular fatigue is not the right way to go. Failure in the weight room should be when you can no longer maintain proper form in whatever movement you are practicing.

So when you see an exercise that requires you to do maximum reps or go until failure, stop when your form degrades!
