We have all been there at some stage; our first month in the gym is usually filled with excitement, enthusiasm and learning correct form. However, what becomes the biggest factor in adherence levels to a regular gym programme is the progression which seems to just leap from within. Before you know it, depending on your fitness goal, you would have lost some weight or your volume would have increased by say 40% and your muscles are filling out from noticeable angles.
The sad story is that the rate of your ‘gains’ will plateau and eventually you will require more advanced approaches to training with regard to intensity, volume, tempo and nutrition to still achieve progressions in body composition and muscle definition.
