It’s important to do the small things right...
. Something I enjoy doing during my training sessions is to incorporate a progressive increase in load as I work through the workout. . Starting with low impact cardio-warmup (10 min on the stationary bicycle) then moving to more dynamic moves incorporating body weight (squats, calf raises and alternating lunges). . When starting to add weight in, its always a good rule of thumb to only increase the load based on what you can control with good form. . Time under tension and taking the muscle through a full contraction are very beneficial for lean muscle gains (strength and size), so don’t short-change your results with half-effort reps. . If you’re unable to perform the exercise through the full range of motion, or find that you’re dropping or swinging the weight on the eccentric phase (with gravity portion of the exercise, aka returning to the starting position) it is a good time to evaluate making a change. . Readjust, drop weight if necessary (don’t let ego take over here friends), but do them right. . Quality repetitions matter, not just for better results, but injury prevention too! . . . . ♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️ #legdayworkout #offbalance #qualityoverquantity #snapnation #wonderfullyfitmom
