S6Ep6 - The Beginning of MED Series: SRA Continued

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">We have two primary variables to manipulate to keep driving up stress and progress:  intensity and volume.  Frequency and exercise selection are secondary, as frequency is ultimately a function of volume.  Supplemental exercises are also a function of volume and intensity, as they either decrease or increase time under tension or the range of motion.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">We have to build fatigue to increase performance, and we’re most concerned with strength.  At times--especially as an advanced lifter--we have to build up fatigue and temporarily decrease performance to deliver enough stress and then continue to train, allow fatigue to dissipate, and allow performance to peak and thus elicit an adaptation.  This means the SRA cycle has lengthened.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Get your FIRST MONTH FREE on all strength and nutrition coaching plans.  No discount code needed and includes a 10-day, no obligation trial. </span> <a href="https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Special offers from BLOC and our partners: </span> <a href= "https://barbell-logic.com/offers/"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">https://barbell-logic.com/offers/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Connect with the hosts</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/reynoldsstrong/"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">Matt on Instagram</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/vera_nahce/"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">Niki on Instagram</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "mailto:podcast@barbell-logic.com"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">podcast@barbell-logic.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 300;">   </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Connect with
