Why We Don't Start With Max Effort
Starting with max effort is a recipe for injury and burnout. Learn why we build gradually and how it leads to better results.
Most people want to start training at max effort. They think going hard from day one will get them results faster. But starting with max effort is a recipe for injury, burnout, and stalled progress. At Elite Performance Clinic, we don't start with max effort—we build gradually.
Why we don't start with max effort comes down to adaptation. Your body needs time to adapt to training stress. Starting too hard creates excessive stress that your body can't recover from, leading to injury and burnout. Building gradually allows your body to adapt, creating sustainable progress.
Why We Build Gradually
- Adaptation takes time: Your body needs time to adapt to training stress
- Prevents injury: Gradual progression reduces injury risk
- Sustainable progress: Gradual building creates long-term progress
- Recovery capacity: Allows your body to develop recovery capacity
