Stop Doing Math Mid-Lift

from The Deep Kimchi Pod Hosted by Michelle Burleson

Stop Doing Math Mid-Lift Two new programs are live in the Deep Kimchi Training Lab. The Complete Physique for your regular workout weeks, Anywhere Strong for everywhere else. Both adjust to you session by session, so you stop doing your own programming at 5:45 in the morning. Get inside the Training Lab: https://deepkimchi.substack.com/p/training-lab In this episode: The two leaks draining most women's training: guesswork at the rack, and travel weeks written off as a loss Why slow results are a programming problem and not a character flaw Autoregulation in plain English, and how rating a set easy, perfect, or too hard sets your next session's weights Progressive overload as it actually gets applied: 2.5 lb jumps on smaller muscles, 5 lb on the big compound lifts Why the week five deload is built in, and what tends to show up during it The four training blocks, and why rotating them keeps your body from settling into complacency What all of this means if you're on a GLP-1 and want to keep the muscle while you lose the fat Anywhere Strong: bodyweight, bands, and hotel dumbbells that still progress week over week Ask Michelle Anything: the coaching that ran over a thousand dollars a month, now inside a subscription Resources: The Deep Kimchi Training Lab: https://deepkimchi.substack.com/p/training-lab Questions: [email protected] Every paid subscription supports Save Our Paws, the Romanian rescue pulling dogs and cats off the street and into warm laps.
