E18: Are You Training Smarter or Just Repeating Mistakes?

from Strength In Context

Redundant exercises could be holding back your progress. In this episode, Schultze and Jorge break down why doing more isn't always better and how smarter programming can eliminate wasted effort. From warm-ups to exercise selection, we explore the fine line between reinforcing movement patterns and just spinning your wheels. Plus, a few rants about pirates, bad drivers, and gym annoyances. Tune in and start training with more intent. https://www.instagram.com/brandon.schultze/ https://www.instagram.com/jorgedehoyos_/ LAST CHANCE to sign up for Pre-Script Level 1 Learn more at  https://www.pre-script.com/psl1 FREE Coach's Field Guide: https://www.pre-script.com/coachs-field-guide Drunken Festivals and Unwanted Disruptions (00:04:25) Back in Edmonton: A New Set of Annoyances (00:06:59) The Issue of Redundancy in Training (00:09:00) What Does Redundancy Actually Mean?
