Training Focus
The training focus has been on adjusting technique and going closer to failure to ensure maximal stimulus and progression. There is an emphasis on individualizing the level of proximity to failure depending on the muscle group involved, allowing for a more aggressive push within safe limits. The approach has shifted towards prioritizing overall performance and stimulus rather than fixating solely on perfect technique throughout each set.
