At Hardbody Athlete, we understand that success in strength training and athletic performance isn’t just about hard work—it’s about smart, data-driven effort. That’s why we emphasize the importance of knowing and owning your numbers. Here’s how this approach helps us stand out and deliver exceptional results for our members.
Understanding PRIMEIGHT Numbers The foundation of our training philosophy is built around the PRIMEIGHT numbers: overhead press, incline press, bench press, dip, chin-up, back squat, front squat, and deadlift. These exercises are key indicators of your overall strength and fitness. By tracking these eight fundamental lifts, we can precisely gauge your progress and tailor your training to stimulate optimal gains.
Why Tracking Progress is Essential Monitoring your strength performance closely allows us to set realistic, yet challenging goals. We expect all our members to aim for a 2-4% increase in performance week over week, which culminates in a 15-20% improvement every 12 weeks. This methodical increase is not arbitrary; it’s calculated to maximize your strength gains while minimizing the risk of injury and burnout.
The Impact of Consistency Consistency is the cornerstone of any successful training regimen. At Hardbody Athlete, we’ve found that maintaining at least an 85% consistency rate in your workouts is crucial for triggering the appropriate training response. For a typical 12-week program that schedules three sessions per week (totaling 36 sessions), this means you should be completing at least 30-32 sessions. Falling short of this mark often leads to less significant results, highlighting the importance of regularity and commitment to your training schedule.
Responding to Performance Fluctuations It’s natural for strength levels to fluctuate; however, a decrease of more than 10% over a 12-week period signals a need for adjustment. This could involve revisiting your training programming, lifestyle choices, or nutrition plans. At Hardbody Athlete, we don’t just provide training; we offer comprehensive lifestyle management to ensure every aspect of your life supports your fitness goals.
