WeLLBody Lab
Strength Resource Library
Train Smarter. Understand Your Training. Get Stronger.
Evidence-based resources to help you better understand strength training, progressive overload, recovery, nutrition, and the principles behind your WeLLBody Lab programming.
Because Knowing Why Matters
I don't just want you to follow a workout. I want you to understand how and why your training works.
Strength training becomes much more effective when you understand how to choose your weights, recognize appropriate training intensity, progressively increase your workload, and recover well.
This library is where you'll find the education I use with my clients and within WeLLBody Lab programming.
Come back anytime you see a term in your workout that you'd like to better understand.
Don't just complete the workout.
Understand what you're training and why.
