Do You Know The 37 Components of the Perfect Repetition

A century ago people trained to get stronger because they didnt know any other way. If something worked, they kept using it, -- if something didnt work, they discarded it until they found something that did.

And then they just trained -- hard, serious, purposeful training.

Progressive strength training made a lot of sense back then (still does) but these days, it would appear that the main pastime of the modern Iron Game is to make strength training as complex as possible.

Did you know that there are 37 different components of the perfect repetition?

Yeah, neither did I, but theres some guy out there layin em all out just the same.

Now the thing is, when you train, you have to concentrate, but there is only so much concentration to go around and if you have to think about 37 different things for each REP then you lose focus on the actual training.

So, with this in mind, the best training advice isnt necessarily the longest, or most detailed, or even the oldest for that matter – it is what can be applied in the simlest manner.

As far as the "perfect" repetition all you really need to keep in mind is this:

1. Pick Up.
2. Put Down
3. Repeat as needed.

Train hard.
