Adapt Load and Exertion to Facilitate Progress
Maintaining an appropriate rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is crucial for effective training, particularly when transitioning between different exercise forms, such as from a high bar squat to a front squat. Understanding the varying load capacities and failure points of each exercise helps practitioners adjust their training loads while still achieving a globally taxing workout. For individuals who may lack awareness of body control, implementing basic, remedial exercises with a focus on center of mass and base of support is essential. This approach fosters a progressive training model that aids in comprehension and efficacy for the client, highlighting the importance of trainers understanding these principles to guide their clients effectively.
