Thinking
Notes on training, consistency, and progress from the team building NATE. No fluff, no filler.
The shape of a training year
A single great workout means nothing on its own. Progress comes from how weeks stack into blocks and blocks stack into a year. Here is how periodization works, and how NATE runs it for you.

Progressive overload without the spreadsheet
Adding weight is simple in theory and a mess in practice. Here is the science of when to push, when to hold, and when to back off, and how NATE makes the call for you.
Consistency beats intensity
The lifters who get results are not the ones who train hardest. They are the ones who keep showing up. Here is the science of why, and how NATE is built around it.
