Dealing With the Ups & Downs of Training
by Bill Starr
If there’s one truism that all serious weight trainers learn, it’s that they’ll eventually hit some valleys on the way to gaining strength. The down periods will come regardless of how diligently they pay attention to their nutrition and rest, and there will be certain periods when gains just won’t come. In fact, they may even slip backward on many lifts. While that may seem to be a rather pessimistic attitude on my part, it really isn’t. It’s a physical law and a vital part of what we call strength training.
