#47: Managing Training Consistency, Periodisation, Frequency & Intensity, plus Steve’s Progress on OCT-18 #HyperWorkouts

FOUR key variables to making deliberate progress in the gym – Training Consistency, Training Frequency, Training Intensity and Progressive Overload.

These are hotly debated and researched aspects to training, which can lead to much confusion and uncertainty for most gym goers. This episode looks to bring you up to speed with these concepts, the latest research and how to practically consider these principles within your training programming.

That, combined with the release of our 9th #HyperWorkouts Training Block for the year, spurred us on to having this informative and personal look into our own training regime, gym progress and understanding what really matters.

We also cover:

• Where Progressive Overload fits into all of this
