Training Feels Harder Lately?
Sometimes women tell me their workouts feel heavier than usual.
Not physically impossible. Just heavier. Slower. More draining.
When that comes up, I usually zoom out instead of zooming in.
I look at:
- Sleep
- Stress
- Fuel
- Overall life load
Strength training doesn’t happen in isolation. It sits on top of your nervous system, your energy availability, your schedule, your mental bandwidth.
When life feels full, your training will reflect that.
This doesn’t mean you’re regressing. It doesn’t mean you need a new plan. It usually means your body is asking for steadiness.
On weeks like that, I recommend:
- Keeping the movements the same
- Reducing pressure to “progress”
- Focusing on good reps instead of heavier weights
- Making sure meals are regular and satisfying
Strength is built across months and years. One heavy-feeling week is just part of the rhythm.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is stay consistent without forcing intensity.
