To maximize the benefits of strength training, sometimes you have to slow things down. Time under tension, or TUT, shifts the focus from how much weight you lift or how many reps you perform to how long your muscles are actually working during each exercise.

I agree, what he’s saying is Ai can be a tool for a professional who already has the knowledge and capacity to extrapolate relevant info from noise . If you don’t have background knowledge you can’t really understand what isn’t relevant . And it’s what baffles me , think of me coming into your job because I used chat gpt or YouTube , I prob may bluff it for a bit but I wouldn’t get too far . You wouldn’t use chat and try to fix your car , why do it with the most expensive vehicle you have , your body .

Good programming isn’t complicated. It’s about context. A program works when it matches your current ability, goals, capacity, lifestyle, recovery, and stress levels.

Most clients don’t fail because their programs are “too simple.” They fail because the program can’t be sustained. Life happens. Work, travel, stress, lack of sleep, all of it affects how you move and perform.

A key part of good programming is having the knowledge to sequence exercises correctly. Choosing the right exercises in the right order and planning how they progress over time ensures your body adapts safely and efficiently. Without this, even a simple program can stall progress or create unnecessary strain.

That’s also why many clients struggle to make progress on their own. They don’t have the knowledge to assess themselves, adjust intensity, or shift programming when life changes. Training isn’t just following a plan, it’s understanding your body and being able to modify safely and effectively when needed.

The best results come when your program is logical, progressive, and adaptable. That’s how you build strength, fitness, and consistency without burning out or hitting plateaus.

This is why having a professional who really understands biomechanics and movement literacy matters. It’s not about knowing advanced theory or using fancy words. It’s about being able to see movement clearly, understand how joints are supposed to move and take load, and spot when the body is compensating or at risk.

A good professional can choose the right regressions or progressions, so the exercise fits the person, not the other way around. If they can’t explain why an exercise is right for you, they’re pretending and that’s where problems start. Pain, poor results, or injury don’t happen because the exercises are “too hard.” They happen because the movement wasn’t matched to the body.

Training with someone who knows how to read your movement keeps you safe, efficient, and making true progress. That’s the difference between working hard and actually getting stronger, moving better, and improving long-term health.

I say this a lot , knowing what to do is important but so is knowing what not to do . When working with someone you can have all the knowledge in the world but it’s also a huge component to understand the person in front of you. What are there querks, who are they when fatigue sets in , tho they have been training for a while or they truly at base level in control of their body . These small things allow me to safely suggest going a little further or pulling back , pulling back sometimes not just for the workout in the moment but for the wins of the next day.

Vitamin B12 is essential for your body. It helps make red blood cells, keeps your nerves and brain working properly, and supports energy production. You get B12 mainly from animal-based foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, but it’s also added to some plant-based products and supplements for those who don’t eat animal foods.

Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in your health. It supports proper red blood cell formation and keeps your central nervous system functioning the way it should. Low levels can affect energy, focus, and overall performance, which is why it’s not something to overlook.

B12 is naturally found in animal based foods but is also added to certain plant based products, which is important for those who limit or avoid animal sources. There are both natural and synthetic forms of B12, and research continues to highlight its role in overall neurological health and conditions such as megaloblastic anemia.
