....either physically or in the weight they are using. Physically we can't help or change much. But we can change the weight. Last night people started to scramble. Some of the ladders were off so we got that squared away. Some of the weights were off, so we tweaked the weight. Some of the weights were golden !! Perfect for the day and the rungs. Here's the trouble. Last Friday you got your 5/5 and went up a bell size for this week. You went up a bell size but came down one rung across the board. So, yesterday was your 5/2 (ladder/rung) day with the new bell. You didn't get them. One side was shot...both sides didn't go...whatever. Either way you were not feeling the love. You need to go down a bell, right? Get your groove back and then try again? NO ! WRONG ! The warm fuzzies are history. You graduated. You got your 5/5 last Friday. Kiss it good-bye and move up a bell. Now...I know we all want to be reassured but fractional weights are not the answer. You don't need a " .5 " increase. You need to work a lot harder. That is the name of the game. Squeeze out an extra rep once a week and be happy with that performance. Eventually it will link up and movement starts heading north. Remember, strength training is not rewarding day to day like 'working out.' It's measurable. It's performance driven. If you don't see progress.....it's all you.
