Hi Friend,
KISS is much more than a catchy sounding acronym. The "keep it simple, stupid" principle also becomes an invaluable training tool when you are looking to avoid being overwhelmed or intimidated by unnecessary complexity.
Want an example of how this principle helps you? KISS can help put into practice strength training routines that are effective, uncomplicated - and most importantly - simple.
A bare-bones abbreviated workout is a great place to start. Wallop that overwhelming feeling and practice one lift routines to power up your program.
Stripping your training back to basics has worked miracles for some of the lifting giants and it can work for you, too. But what about progress?
Well, making progress in the gym doesn't have to be complicated, either. A steady and consistent increase of just one pound per week on your barbell soon adds up and can yield significant results.
For example:
Travel photographer and weightlifter James Clear practices the KISS principle. Writing about the value of steady strength gains on his site, he shows how it is possible to build better health habits, steer clear of injury, and get lean and strong.
Using these minimalist methods, his strength gains have come thick and fast.
Yet after a few months had elapsed, James began to realise something unexpected and strange - even though he was lifting more weight from session to session, the workouts still felt easy.
Yep. That's right… the weight on his bar was steadily climbing week by week, yet the difficulty was nearly the same.

Until next time,
Squat for Glory!
