Episode notes
Pyramid Volume Up Then Reset
- Cycle training volume up and down instead of always increasing it to force new adaptations.
- Start at ~9 sets per body part, build to 15–20, then reset to the low end and repeat.
Use The Z-Press To Restore Overhead Strength
- Use the Z-Press to enforce strict upright overhead pressing and regain full shoulder extension.
- Sit on the floor and press from the hips to improve shoulder stability and reduce low-back involvement.
Train Instability To Strengthen Stabilizers
- Add instability and unpredictable loads (bands, bottoms-up kettlebells) to train stabilizers and improve transfer.
- Slow down reps and focus on controlling shifting forces for better shoulder girdle resilience.
