Choose the range for the lift
More range is not automatically better. Use the depth or bottom position you can control, load, and repeat for the job at hand.
Free guide
7 things hypermobile lifters should know before following a generic strength program.
This short guide covers seven practical training details: range, setup, effort, exercise choice, fatigue, and progression.
It is a useful starting point if you want to understand the coaching choices behind the full 12-week program.
Inside the guide
Use a steadier option when it fits the goal
A supported row, dumbbell press, or different stance can make the target muscles easier to load and repeat.
RPE gives a set a number
When a set gets sloppier or more expensive than expected, RPE and RIR help you make the next call without drama.
Adding plates is one option
You can add a rep, a set, load, tempo, frequency, or range. Pick the lever that makes sense for the lift and the week.
Exercise choice should solve a problem
A different bar, grip, stance, or variation can keep the target movement consistent when the original option does not.
Hard sessions change the picture
A lift you own when fresh may need a simpler version late in the week. Plan that possibility before it becomes a surprise.
Keep strength work in the picture
Get individualized medical or rehabilitation support when you need it. Strength work can still have a place alongside that support.
