Using these 6 Training Variables To Progress Client Workouts, will guarantee their GOAL

Many FitPros focus on the tactics of exercises and training systems,

but in doing so they totally forget that EFFECTIVE adaptation comes from manipulation of variables.

These 6 variables are summed up with the alliteration rule 5Rs and 1V, which makes it super easy to remember

In today’s podcast episode Neale and I discuss all 6 training variables and clarify which ones you would focus on changing for specific client goals.

The Six Training Variables To Progress Client Workouts

Heres a quick summary of all 6 Variables:

Resistance: Most people increase this as the first progression, try leaving it to last, after you’ve used the other variables

Rate: SLow down the tempo, especially on the eccentric phase. this gives more time under tension and more micro-tears to the actin and myosin.

Range of Motion: This is a powerful variable to use, especially if you have a health-related client or someone rehabilitating from injury

Rest and Recovery: Manipulate time between sets and also the time between sessions.

Repetitions: This is not as straight forward as just adding repetitions every workout, so make sure you stay in the desired rep range

Volume: This is not just about sets per exercise, but also overall sets inside a workout, the volume of weight lifted, and even sessions per week.
