The big “P” is PROGRESSION. Everyone gives it lip service, but do we really understand and apply this key principle of training? My experience is that perhaps the most often violated & most misunderstood training principle is PROGRESSION. What are your progressions? You simply don’t progress to next stage until mastery of present stage is achieved. You must methodically proceed step by step. It takes both time & timing. Stop and take a long hard look at your progressions. Lack of progression or improper progression is the source of many training errors and the genesis of many injuries.
