1. Reduce the number of exercises you’re doing
“You don’t have to do 30 different types of exercises every week. You need the 6 big ones – the squat, the deadlift, the bench press or the push-up, the overhead press, the pull-up or the hang, and the row. that’s it. If you want variety, do more exercises. If you want progress, do fewer exercises and do them well,” he said.
2. Technique triumphs everything
“So regardless of what exercises you’re doing, make sure you’re doing them with good technique with good form because moving with good technique means using the right muscles and that’s essentially what you need in order to get stronger,” Raj added.
3. Forget reps and load, focus on feel
“Every time you’re doing an exercise, any exercise, ask yourself, where am I feeling this? Am I feeling the right muscles? If you can make sure you’re feeling the right muscles, and you can work hard enough, reps, sets, load – all of that will take care of itself,” added Raj.
4. Improve your mobility
“How mobile the various joints in your body are because optimal mobility means better range of motion? And better range of motion means better loading patterns, which means faster strength progress,” he said.
5. Sleep and nutrition
“While you’re working really hard in the gym, remember that progress happens outside the gym. It happens when you’re resting and when you’re feeding your body with the right nutrients. So, make sure you double down on that,” Raj highlighted.
6. Be patient
“Do not chase results, chase effort. So, the question you need to be asking yourself is not, how quickly will I get stronger? It is, how hard am I able to work? Am I able to do this consistently? How patient am I? If you can do these six things, you will give your body no choice but to get stronger,” said Raj Ganpath.
