When it comes to sport and training, there can be some variation in progress from one week to the next, especially as women. One week we may be putting up 250 lbs on squats, a couple weeks we are struggling with 200 lbs. One week we may feel like our endurance is peaking, a couple weeks later it may be harder to breathe and easier to fatigue. It can be discouraging and frustrating. What if I told you that this is actually completely normal? Being women, this is exactly on point with our physiology. it has to do very much with a woman’s menstrual cycle and the fluctuations in hormones. Once this concept is grasped, one can train more efficiently and utilize specific times in the cycle to maximize gains. I will dispense that knowledge now.
