Overtraining

Part 2

Training

            First off, nothing in this article gives you an excuse to not work hard.  If you’re training intelligently, you can work hard and avoid overtraining.  If you’re looking for an excuse to take things easy, don’t waste your time.

            A principle to begin: every activity that you do requires some level of recovery before you can do it again.  If you deadlift your max in a powerlifting contest, don’t expect to do it again for a...

Overtraining

Overtraining is a term that gets thrown around the gym like cryptocurrency; everyone uses it, but no one understands it.  Ask anyone what overtraining is and you’ll get answers ranging from “Your nerves get fried” to “You’re just working too hard”.  You’ll find a lot of people who use overtraining as an excuse to never actually work hard.  Occasionally you’ll find people who “don’t believe in it”. (I wouldn’t believe in it either if I just did yoga for 30 minutes a day and then returned to my sedentary lifestyle).

INTERNAL VS. EXTERNAL STABILITY

Apr 21, 2022

By Abdurahmaan Saloojee

Abdurahmaan is a Pre-Script coach from Ottawa who loves reading, traveling, and training.

Internal Vs. External Stability

Do you feel like your workouts have been missing something? Does something about their structure feel off? One of the key concepts to understand about exercise selection is internal versus external stability. It is extremely important to differentiate between the two because without it, your workouts within a day will lack structure and intent. 

 

Stability can be described as our muscles’ capacity to resist force. That stability is internal (i.e. created by the body). Stability requirements can change based on the exercise: for example, the stability your body needs to perform a dumbbell lateral raise for medial delts compared to the stability required for a max low bar squat is vastly different.
