Little Gains Will Add Up?

Talk To Me Garage Gym Junkie,

Why whenever I hear of you working out why do stop after one PR?

-Anonymous



Thank you for the question. The reason I walk away and tell my students to walk away is that if you hit a PR then have gained confidence. This is even if you have more in the tank, because if you have more in the tank the next time you lift you'll hit another pr, and hence more confidence.

The thing I say to my students is "Many small gains equal one big gain."

Example: If you start at 0kg and add 2kg a week for year, at the end of the year you will be lifting 104kg. If you are thinking about pounds that is well over 200lbs in added weight in one year.
