Description

Strength training isn’t just about lifting heavy; it’s about cultivating balanced, functional strength that enhances everyday tasks like carrying a heavy box. The Ideal Strength Standards provide a comprehensive guide to achieve this through eight key movement patterns: Squat, Hip-Hinge, Lunge, Vertical Push, Vertical Pull, Horizontal Push, Horizontal Pull, and Carry Patterns. Learn how to assess and develop balanced strength through practical application and progressive training levels.
