Another transformation of one of our Group PT members... 🔥🔥

We have all heard, when training... ➡️"progressive overload"⬅️

What is it? and how do reps play the key component.

If you have been given a specific rep range, let's say 8-10 reps.
You rep 10kg for 8 reps, and that is you totally maxed out. Next time you train, "PROGRESS" would be hitting 9 reps. Then, next time, 10 reps. Once you have hit the 10 reps consistently for at least 2 weeks, that is the time to up the load. Always exhaust your rep range before going up in weight.

🔊 That is progressive overload.

I hope that makes it a little clearer. If not, drop me a message, and we can run through it again.

Is it a Fashion statement, a Trend, or does it have a purpose??

You may have seen people wear sliders, trainers, crocks 👈🤮 or even socked feet in the gym or in videos.

The simple reason behind why I wear sliders or go barefeet is simply that I have firm contact with the floor or platform to perform better. Having constant contact with the floor allows for increased force production, which I don't get from wearing trainers.

It can also improve stability, balance and can increase engagement with muscles. WIN

The exercises that I mainly go (socked) barefeet on are
👉Deadlifts or any hinge work
👉Squats
👉Calf raise
👉Lunges
👉Leg press

Be aware of gym policies!
Yes, it is okay to train barefoot in a gym as long as the facility allows it.

Give it a go (gym permitted), and let me know how it goes..
