#120: What to Do When Your Strength Training Program Changes – and Why You Shouldn’t Just Jump In
Update: 2025-05-27
Description
When it’s time to swap out an exercise in your program — whether to freshen things up or work your muscles in a new way — it’s easy to assume you can go just as hard as before.
But here’s the truth: even if you’re strong, your body needs time to adapt to a new movement. Especially in midlife, when old injuries and cranky joints are more common. Diving in too fast can set you back.
In episode 120, I walk you through:
- Why sticking with the same exercises for 8–12 weeks is key to progress
- How to safely introduce a new or returning movement (even if you’re strong!)
- My personal example of switching from leg presses to Bulgarian split squats
- The smart way I program swaps so you can keep progressing
