 A quick and easy example is the comparison of a dumbbell lunge to a barbell lunge. With the dumbbells at our sides, the center of gravity is low. Putting a barbell across the upper back or shoulder girdle raises the center of gravity, creating a more unstable scenario. We can even hold the bar overhead to take the instability one step further

 "Unstable surface training is rarely appropriate for the lower body; outside of the rehabilitation of functional ankle instability, it doesn't have much merit. That's not to say, however, that utilizing unstable surfaces in other scenarios can't be advantageous; the important thing is to recognize that the instability must be applied at the midsection/torso or upper extremities. Examples include push-ups with the hands on stability balls or inflatable rubber discs and pressing exercises while positioned atop a stability ball [in athletes who aren't too strong/heavy]. These movements have considerable benefit with respect to enhancing shoulder proprioception and deloading joints without losing out on muscle activation."  -eric cressey  - one arm on stability ball

 Research seems to indicate that 3-4 sets per exercise is the best to bring out maximal results. Advanced trainees might even see some benefits from going up to 5-6 sets per exercise.  Inverse relationship between reps and sets  10 sets?

 Straight sets- one or two warm ups then into straight loading  Wave loading-loads and reps change within every set within a  Pyramid loading – 12 at 65%, 8 at 75%, 6 at 80%, inverted or double pyramid

 1- no tempo- good for developing strength- just get the bar up  2-general recommendations- around 3 seconds on the way down- 0-1 seconds on the way up.  301

 Dependant on goals and intensity zones  Endurance  Hypertrophy  Strength  power

 Machines vs free weights  Multijoint vs isolation

 The use of machines that buttress joints and restrict range of motion at specific joints not only retard the various levels of motor learning required for optimal functional performance but can encode patterns that are directly detrimental to both performance and the avoidance of injury.  Training in a proprioceptively starved environment does not challenge the system needed to ensure that no single tissue experiences damaging overload.  Dynamic correspondence  No more than 20 percent of your sessions should be machine based

 The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adding single- joint (SJ) exercises to a multi-joint (MJ) exercise resistance- training program on upper body muscle size and strength. Twenty-nine untrained young men participated in a 10-week training session. They were randomly divided in 2 groups: the MJ group performed only MJ exercises (lat pulldown and bench press); the MJ+SJ group performed the same MJ exercises plus SJ exercises (lat pulldown, bench press, elbow flexion, and elbow extension). Before and after the training period, the muscle thickness (MT) of the elbow flexors was measured with ultrasound, and peak torque (PT) was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer. There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in MT (6.5% for MJ and 7.04% for MJ+SJ) and PT (10.40% for MJ and 12.85% for MJ+SJ) in both groups, but there were no between-group differences. Therefore, this study showed that the inclusion of SJ exercises in a MJ exercise training program resulted in no additional benefits in terms of muscle size or strength gains in untrained young men

 Exercise order- Power first, never later  Never overlook poor technique  Pair exercises (except for O lifts)

 You’ve picked your exercises based on clients experience levels and capabilities  Examine their current state of health and determine where you think/want them to be at the end of the training block you’ve selected.
