Performance (Leg focused):
Tip: Lunge Progression
The Lunge progression in the Strength Balance section will differ slightly from past approaches. While the typical method in weight training involves adding more weight to the bar over time, this training cycle will implement a different strategy for progressive overload. Instead of increasing the weight on the bar, the total number of sets will increase while rest times slightly decrease. The essence of progression in fitness lies in gradually seeking greater challenges. As your body adapts to these challenges, you can continually push yourself to surpass previous limitations and reach new heights in your fitness journey.
