ADVICE

Client Programming Tip

  • Program clients for 4-week blocks, but have optional "pivot weeks" available.
  • Pivot weeks incorporate less common movements like triplanar exercises and are useful during periods of lower training volume.
INSIGHT

Coaching Insecurities

  • Coaches often change programs due to insecurity, not client needs.
  • This can hinder results by preventing clients from fully adapting to exercises.
ADVICE

Ask about repetition

  • Ask clients if they want to repeat exercises before changing programs.
  • Clients may desire consistency for better results, despite coaches' assumptions.
