#114 - Accessory Lifts for the Advancing Lifter




Barbell Logic show

Summary: Matt and Scott address accessory lifts and how they fit into a well-designed training program. Supplemental lifts -- first discussed in Episode 21 -- are variants that closely resemble the main lifts, while accessory lifts are lighter, less stressful movements that allow more advanced lifters to add small increments of stress. It goes without saying, then, that accessories become useful when more volume with the main lifts would be too stressful to recover from, yet volume is needed to drive progress.
