Accelerate Your Gains: The Golden Zone of Progression

Upload quality/frequency has been top notch lately. Really been enjoying these. Thank you!

Needed to hear this today, thanks. Whenever I get stuck and don't move up on weight/reps/sets, I always consider "what's wrong" and consider making x,y,z change. But then it's these messages from experienced lifters that remind me to have patience. True plateau is many weeks of ZERO progress whereas plodding, slow, boring progress is what you SHOULD expect (as you say). And that means occasionally missing progress WoW but hanging in there anyway and having faith in the process. Gainz shall come to he who waits. Thanks for this.

This was extremely enlightening to me since I startred my PPL program Feb 1 and have only just started to see progression on my flat barbell bench and incline bench over 3 months into it. I think I need to stick to the program and keep grinding for another 3 months because I'm finally in that golden zone where I'm truly pushing for progress on that lift. Everything else has been going up, so I think that's just the first "stall" while I catch up on the others 😬

The one exception for me was on benchbpress. When I'd switch to dumbells for a few months and come back to barbell, my barbell would be much stronger. Changing variations on bench press somewhat frequently always brought up my strength significantly. But, for back, quads, hams, etc, sticking with the same exercises for a long time was always the best method.

Quality content. Thank you, Faz

Let’s go! Amazing content as always.

Good reminder, cheers Faz 👊

Wow Faz, that is a great nugget of info!

This is 'golden' information Faz!

Giving it all and stalling is the golden zone. Ty Faz

Great video man

This is such an important message, well said

I love this video topic, Faz. It's so fundamental to learn that true progress is slow. I like to think of it as allowing for enough time that the muscle growth is there.

This needs to be required watching for everyone getting into lifting!!

Great video, this resonated with me. I tended to switch routines very frequently in the past because I am the type of guy that likes trying new exercises. What I found works is using a good amount of variability in your training program to keep things fresh, but still sticking to it for long periods.

Really appreciate your content as of late. Just keeps getting better.

Great video 💪

Skeletor jumper equals automatic like! Quality as always.

I can't love this enough. I get angry and laugh at the same time when I see trainers advertising an 8 week program or a 12 week hypertrophy plan on instagram. It does my head in.

Dennis sent me and I'm glad he did Great advice!
