When To Switch Lifting Exercise For Maximum Results

When To Switch Lifting Exercise For Maximum Results

  • Most programs only move in two planes of movement, often neglecting rotational strength & lateral strength
  • Rotational and lateral strength exercise give you longevity in training and build more stability – but can be more difficult movements so we avoid or neglect
  • What makes a program effective is also its weakness: you have a program that’s specific to the desired outcome at the expense of another outcome

Rotational exercise examples: club swigs, mace swings. Lateral exercise examples: lateral tube walking, Cossack squats, lateral sled pulls.

Tips For Better Workout Results

  • Interrupt classic moves (e.g., barbell squats, deadlifts, overhead press) with movements in other planes (e.g., lateral lunge, Cossack squats, etc.)
  • Higher skill movements can stay in the rotation but adjust tempo to vary (sometimes slower, sometimes faster)
  • If you’ve hit a plateau, change the movements
  • Change moves for about 3 weeks

Ways to vary classic compound moves: front rack squat instead of barbell squat, try Zercher squats, trap bar instead of a standard barbell for deadlifts, Bulgarian split squat, single-leg deadlift with dumbbells instead of barbell deadlifts.

Unilateral Versus Bilateral Movements

  • Unilateral and bilateral movements have tremendous value and you want a program that incorporates both
  • Bilateral movements allow you to generate more force and move more weight
  • Unilateral movements are good for building stability
  • Unilateral movements are good for health and longevity
  • For aesthetic benefits, you need both unilateral and bilateral movements
  • Most sports require some running and running is unilateral
  • Building a strong base with bilateral movements is important before venturing into unilateral movements which can be more difficult

What To Look For In A Nutritionist

  • Red flags: nutritionist only talks to you about macros and is “good” and “bad”
  • You want a nutritionist that looks at behavioural components and addresses eating patterns, likes dislikes, binge eating, etc.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
