 Next question is from Koni Chua. Is it normal to progress on some lifts but regress on others at the same time? If not, what could be the problem? Of course. You can, but it's not as common. Usually to regress while progressing? Yeah. I would say it's more common to progress on one and not regress on another one. But it's less common for my like, oh my God, I'm so much stronger in my overhead press and then I go squat and my squat went way down. Cause usually if you're stronger, that means that overall there's a good environment. Doesn't mean you can get stronger at everything. Oh, well I can give you an example. Well, okay. So progress and regress less likely. Progress and stay the same. Very common. Very, very common. But even could potentially regress depending on you do it. And an example that I see all the time is, let's say you, this is a new lift for you. Maybe you've never really dead lifted consistently. And so you start doing it. And what's great about that is your, the gains and the progress is like, cause it's, you're learning the movement. So there's this amazing like learning curve of just constantly seeing yourself level up, level up, level up. And you could be seeing that while also diet, not being ideal, sleep, not being ideal. And you may not be doing, on the lifts that you've been doing forever. So maybe you've been bench pressing forever, right? But you've never dead lifted consistently in your life till you start listening to mine properly. These guys always talk about dead lifting. I'm going to start doing it. So you start doing it. And you're like, man, I'm getting good and good at dead lifting. But man, my benches either staying the same or I even had a bad week and got worse. Well, when you, and this is where the context matters is if you are learning a new movement, sometimes you will see even progress in that lift, even when all other things are shitty. Like your diet's kind of off, your sleep isn't well. It's cause the dead lift is so new and you're improving on the movement every single time. But then it's starting to affect the other things that you've already gotten pretty good at. And so you regress in that area. So in a situation like that, that makes sense. You would be surprised. The reason why I would say it's not as common, except for that's a really good example that you gave Adam is because when you're regressing on lifts, let's say you're overtrained or you're overdoing a lift or you're lacking sleep, typically it's a systemic thing. You'll notice it all over. Like I'm just weaker overall. Now you could definitely overtrain a movement, cause some problems and other movements, not so much and still improve, but that's more rare. So I would say in this particular case, it's probably either what Adam's saying or the lift that you're regressing in, you may need to look at your programming. Like, okay, here's a good example. Dead lifts and squats, right? If your dead lifts could go up, but maybe the way you're programming your workouts is that your dead lifts are now affecting your squat, because I dead lift the day before I squat. So my dead lift one at 50 pounds, then you go to squat and your posterior chain is fried and your squat goes down. I mean, and I've definitely noticed this in terms of like the time length in between of when I haven't been practicing one of the major lifts. Like so, there was a period where I didn't bench for a substantial amount of time, cause I was like so focused on getting better at pull ups, getting better at pulling movements and then going back, I definitely went down substantially in terms of performing my bench press. But it was just because I wasn't stimulating that muscle group I used to like it. But it was just, it was a time length thing and it really came back pretty quickly. But it was to see that sort of take on, you know, progression with my ability to pull up was substantial. And then I definitely fell off one bench. This question actually highlights a really cool strategy that I used to do because we talked about this, right? When you're in a caloric deficit and you're trying to do like a cut, like a really hard cut. Like one of the hardest parts is the mental hurdle, right? Cause you get weaker in everything. So one of the strategies I used to do on cut since I'd be, I was doing it so frequently is I would actually pick up a new exercise that I wasn't doing. Like I hadn't done in a really long time. Like example of one that comes to mind right away and was during when we were competing, it was during when we were writing programs and the circus press was just not like a common exercise that I had done in the past. And I'm in a major cut and I'm getting weaker on everything. Cause I'm cutting drastically consistently for weeks for a show. And so I'm watching my bench go down. I'm watching my deadlift go down. But then all of a sudden I introduced the circus press consistently into my routine and I'm actually getting stronger every week. And so it actually would be, and I would actually try and focus on that and not let the other things fuck with me because I know that I'd already kind of max that out and I'm watching that. So I like this question for that reason because this could happen. I always think that a lot of what we do with training to get in really good shape, a lot of it's this mental warfare that you're constantly playing all the time. And a strategy that helped me was when I know that I'm in a caloric deficit and I know I'm cutting consistently and I know I'm gonna get weaker, it's inevitable, is actually reintroducing movements that I don't do frequently into my routine so I have like a win. So I can be like, oh cool, let's keep strong. This used to happen to me when I'd cut and I'd be cutting and then I'm like, wow, I could do more pull-ups and I realized cause I'm lighter. Cause you're 25 lighter. Yeah, there's that, there's also that, yeah.
