Adherence

Professional supervision is a critical factor for achieving continued body composition improvements in resistance-trained individuals.

To continue making progress after your initial gains, seek professional guidance. If full-time coaching is too expensive, consider lower-cost options like online coaching, periodic in-person sessions, or using self-regulation tools like RPE and RIR to ensure you are training with sufficient intensity and proper programming.
