Don’t get comfortable!

Every session should promote progression in either the movements, weight, reps, sets or rest.
The body needs to be continually shocked to build muscle to encourage growth!
If you’ve been following the same program for months and don’t feel the challenge both mentally and physically, its time to mix things up!

Building Symmetry
Focus on lagging body parts and ensure they receive extra attention without overtraining
Incorporate mobility exercises for any movements you find restricted e.g.: overhead press or activating glutes in a squat. By working on full range of motion you will allow the muscles to grow and avoid injury
Avoid overtraining. Allow adequate rest before training that same body part again to avoid injury and allow recovery for growth
Incorporate variety into your training to stimulate the muscles in different ways
Practise posing to assess your symmetry from all angles.

Note Progress!
Progress photos are a fantastic way to see results.
Sometimes the scales, measurements or even your DEXA scan can be inaccurate and disheartening however, photos never lie!
Ensure you are wearing the same outfit, have the same lighting and holding the same poses. This will allow you to see progress and determine the next move.
