Deep dives

The Importance of Progress Auditing

It is essential to recognize that not all training behaviors are equally beneficial, and individuals often misinterpret their adherence. Simply saying one follows a program does not guarantee effectiveness, as many may fail to consider nuances like training intensity and technique. Effective execution of workouts requires consistent evaluation through video reviews and understanding one's proximity to true muscular failure. Most individuals overestimate their training performance, making it necessary to assess progress to identify areas needing improvement before seeking external aids like anabolic substances.
