Correct Before Progression
Written By Aalijah David
As someone with a Masters degree in Advanced Exercise Science, I ensured that my emphasis would be in biomechanics to achieve a deep understanding of movement patterns, kinetic alignment, & joint manipulation. It would be a disservice if I did not approach the beginning stages of introductory training this way.
If you are focused on specific training goals you have in mind, it is first important to build a base and develop better resistance training habits. The ability to properly integrate low weight and higher repetition training is right up your alley. Stabilization endurance ensures that alignment, form, & muscular imbalance corrections are made. This is a step that is extremely important for beginners, & should never be skipped. In order to progress, build your basics, develop a better foundation, decrease your risk of injury, and improve your endurance prior to moving on to more advanced lifting techniques.
Why is it so important to ensure imbalances are corrected?
It is important to ensure that you partake in a professional custom tailored program that guarantees results. Exercise selection & acute variable + progressive overload manipulation is everything for these programs. Everything needs to be dialed!
