Tactical Barbell II: Conditioning
Laws of strength and conditioning:1. Progressive Overload: At whatever you want to improve at, you need to progressively overload. Adaptation is a byproduct of stress (more reps, load, higher complexity, shorter time frame,…)2. Exercises themselves do not determine adaptation. The application (sets, reps, load, time) determine it. This precedes the... See more
