MYTH BUSTING QUOTES:
“Ask it to change and then be diligent about what you’re asking it to do. In this context we call this progressive overload.”
“It is absolutely not required to train that hard to maintain progress.”
“Our body functions best when it's pushed to adapt, [...] the optimal state is adaptation.”
“It doesn’t actually matter how much you lifted or what speed you achieved, but the intent to go as fast as possible will lead to greater adaptations than lack of intent.”
