Build capacity before expression.

The sets of 4-8, slow eccentric work, isometrics, etc. They all have a place.

Basic strength and conditioning principles of building capacity before output.

If you rush into heavy singles, max-effort sprinting, or single-leg bounding, you’ll likely be met with a slew of aches and pains. But you’ll also hit a ceiling much faster and be forced to pivot.

On the flip side, if you take the time to build a training base, your tissues are going to be more resilient in the long run. You need to build up the tolerance to training and come back to it every so often.

This is basic GPP, but some people forget how important it is, likely because it isn’t flashy.
