The Book of Progressions explains with simple and concrete examples how to design appropriate progressions, regressions, and variations of the most popular physical training exercises.
By applying the concepts and logic presented in this book, you will finally be able to reach your goals. Not only in the gym but also in any other type of practice, be it physical, mental, or spiritual.
Achieving a specific goal primarily depends on choosing the right PROGRESSIONS (to make more complex) and accurate REGRESSIONS (to simplify). Also, it involves having timely VARIANTS (different paths to reach the same destination).
Meeting a goal depends on multiple factors and is highly conditioned by the environment, surroundings, and timing. However, we must remember that there is always something you can do on your own. Thus, the concept of this book is to delve into WHAT YOU CAN DO.
Knowing and appropriately designing the steps of the ladder will allow you to reach your destination in a more PREDICTABLE way. This way, you can move forward safely while adjusting your objectives to your internal learning pace.
The purpose of this manual is to help you create or develop an ANALYTICAL mind so that you yourself can ORGANIZE or reorganize the design of your workouts or those of other people or groups.
Through a combination of written and mixed visual language, both academic and popular, Jerónimo Milo succeeds in bringing both worlds together, facilitating complete understanding of the content.
