Reps Don't Count - Organizing Your Training Around Time Under Attention

Ask a question Andy and Ryan discuss the use of timed sets vs rep counting in the Praxis Protocol, emphasizing the importance of quality movement over quantity. The conversation covers the significance of adjusting intensity, the idea of mechanical drop sets, and the distinction between time under tension and time under attention. They also address how to measure progress without relying on numerical goals, encouraging listeners to focus on their improvement in movement quality. Takeaways GMB emphasizes quality of movement over quantity in training. The five P's framework helps organize practice effectively. Timed sets allow for a focus on quality rather than counting reps. Adjusting intensity and scaling movements is crucial for progress. Mechanical drop sets can be applied to bodyweight exercises. Time under tension is important, but time under attention is key for practice. Measuring progress can be based on how well you perform movements, not just numbers. Quality movement leads to better performance in sports and daily activities. The goal of training should be to improve functional movement skills. Practicing with a focus on quality can prevent injuries and enhance performance.
