Push and pull
Balance pressing and pulling with attention to shoulder comfort and control.
Functional strength with room to recover
Strength practice can support confidence, lifting capacity and movement choices. The central skill is selecting a dose that leaves space for the rest of life.
Patterns worth revisiting
Hinge and squat
Build familiarity with hip and knee loading while keeping the range appropriate.
Carry and brace
Use simple loaded carries to explore posture, grip and breathing under manageable effort.
A sensible review
- Choose a pattern you can perform consistently.
- Record quality, effort and next-day response.
- Adjust one variable rather than changing everything at once.
