In this third installment of our series on programming for optimal fitness, we discuss creating a weekly workout framework and emphasize the importance of intentional intensity over maximal effort.
We explore various training zones and provide practical strategies for modulating intensity, ensuring consistent training while prioritizing mechanics, consistency, and then intensity.
We also delve into understanding individual rates of perceived exertion and offer insights on how programming can support sustainable workout practices.
