CONSTRAINTS ARE THE CURE
Constraints are the Cure:
Overcoming paralysis by analysis for new trainers.
By Abdurahmaan Saloojee
Abdurahmaan Saloojee is a personal trainer from Ottawa, Canada. He enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with cats.
Summary Points:
- One of the best cures for paralysis by analysis is constraints
- Understand programming concepts like frequency, exercise order, and exercise selection makes it a lot easier to program
- Knowing how to ask good questions in order to arrive at what constraints to use is a valuable skill for any coach to have
Everyone has likely experienced some form of paralysis by analysis at some point in their education or career: the sheer plethora of options available for any given task can be daunting, especially when the outcome is largely subjective (ie in coaching, how a person feels).

VOLUME VS. EFFECTIVE REPETITIONS
Volume vs. Effective Repetitions
Reconciling Two Sides of the Same Coin.
By: Eric Bugera
- Mechanical tension appears to be the main driver of muscle hypertrophy.
- Challenging sets that generate high degrees of mechanical tension can be accomplished using many repetition ranges.
- Use moderate to higher repetition sets (or a greater number of sets) to generate the required mechanical tension until skill or strength enable you to use higher load with less repetitions.
Confused?
Building muscle is one of the most common goals a client will bring you. Luckily, the literature on hypertrophy has expanded enormously over the last few decades – providing numerous strategies, clarifications, and mechanistic underpinnings to guide your decisions in the gym.
