A strategy I use often with clients coming to me who are not novice trainees is to completely strip back their total volume, frequency and intensity of training, and instead focus our first mesocycle on simply nailing down movement execution.
Only once this is perfect will I begin to introduce progressive loading schemes or volume/intensity/frequency increases as an adjustment.
Here’s a pretty cool example. Stevie came to me with an issue growing his legs, which we quickly established via training footage was generally poor execution of movement. After working through some basic cues of hip positioning, ab bracing, nasal breathing etc, his legs blew up in just a couple of months. All this whilst in a total calorie deficit also, the novel stimulation was enough to initiate new growth.
For anybody looking to improve any body part specifically, I would recommend ensuring your execution is absolutely on point before simply increasing workload. Doing more of the wrong stuff will not bring about a positive outcome.
