If you guys missed this workout that was posted on our story, you can always find them in our fitness highlight! @jonadystgermain threw together this workout, which was loaded with compound exercises, in order to target multiple muscle groups.
_
Sled Pull: great functional exercise that targets your back, shoulders, biceps and helps increase cardiovascular capacity.
Sled Push: this athletic exercise helps strengthen your entire posterior chain (glutes, calves, hamstrings and quads).
Bottoms Up KB Carry: this exercise focuses on shoulder and wrist stability as well as improving core strength.
Bear Crawls: this is a very slept on exercise, which is so sad because it helps with so much! It focuses on increasing mobility, stability, and strength throughout your entire body and is also great for improving cardio endurance.
Dead Bugs: this last exercise will help strengthen your core without adding stress on the lower back, if done properly.

Bookmark this post, try it out and let us know how it went ❤️
Yesterday’s workout was such a goodie (gave me all the feels ) and was very much needed! Going to the gym day after day, week after week can get so repetitive and mundane. Which is why sometimes, I throw in these full body workouts to shock my muscles a little bit. If you are going through the same thing or just want to try out something new, like this post ❤️, save this workout and then let us know how it went!

Alsoooooooo, there was a brand new YouTube video that dropped kinda later than usual on our channel. Please go show some love and support on it LINK IN BIO or search ‘LIT2LIFT’ on @youtube
Just more evidence that you should be lifting in all rep ranges. *cough* runners that means you *cough*

The traditional strength training intensity prescription spectrum, as shown above, encourages a false perspective in that muscle hypertrophy is unobtainable with higher (>85%) or lower (<67%) relative loads and is only achieved within a narrow range of intensities. Muscle hypertrophy is a result of a continuous balance of mechanical and metabolic stress which can be achieved through a wide range of intensities even as low as 30% max and as high as 90% max. Intensity ranges are more relevant to the development of specific strength attributes (muscle hypertrophy is not a strength attribute).
There are multiple variables outside of intensity that can be manipulated to facilitate hypertrophic adaptations. Volume has shown to be a key factor in optimizing progress towards muscle growth via manipulation of sets, muscle specific exercise selection, weekly frequency, and/or time under tension. For example, a 2 week periodization of intensities outside traditional zones ranging between 85 to 90% 1RM (~6RM to 3RM) with higher sets and muscle specific exercises would be appropriate within a hypertrophy program. At the same time a periodization of intensities ranging from 40 to 60% 1RM with less sets (since higher reps), higher frequency, and a few eccentric overloaded lifts would also be appropriate.
As an important note, we have to remember that not everybody responds similarly to any single program (just like we see in research). I've had many clients who responded favorably to lower intensity ranges while others found optimum progress with higher intensity ranges in the context of growth. It really just depends on the individual. Therefore, in the context of muscle growth, we should not be limited by an intensity range and it is ok to periodize intensities across a wide, non-traditional range.
