Let's Talk About It: Tempo & Hypertrophy, Deloads & Training Goals
Tempo made the rounds this week.... again, so we start by unpacking the viral claim that tempo barely affects hypertrophy. From there, we get practical with deloads and active recovery, outlining when to plan them, when to wait for signs, and simple ways to build relief into a phase without losing momentum. We also clear up a common confusion about “novice, intermediate, advanced” in fat loss and hypertrophy specialization phases and explain how to choose the right progression for a client who is new to metabolic methods but not new to lifting. Finally, we discuss mesocycle, macrocycle and year goals.
You will learn:
Our thoughts on tempo
Proactive vs reactive deload strategies that actually help
When to use specialization phases and for whom
A clean hierarchy for mesocycle, macrocycle, and year goals
We conclude with a brief update on upcoming program changes and things get emotional.
