7 Laws Of Training

The seven laws of training are the principle of individual differences, overcompensation, overload, SAID, Use/Disuse, Specificity, and GAS (General Adaption Syndrome). The principle of individual differences states that everyone has a different genetic blueprint and your workouts and results will differ as a result of these genetic differences. The overcompensation principle states that the formation of calluses, growing muscle fibers and lacerated tissues are all a stress response, and it is nothing but a survival mechanism. The overload principle states that in order to gain strength, muscle size, or endurance, one needs to exercise against a greater than normally encountered. There won’t be any gain in ability if the resistance is not changed
It consists of six core lifts that they believe are “specifically for athletes to enable them to get stronger, run faster, jump higher and farther, increase flexibility, endurance and agility, be less prone to injury and, finally, to win,” and these full body lifts include: the Parallel Squat, Bench Press, Hex Bar Deadlift, Box Squat, Towel Bench Press and the Power Clean. Even though the program is great at building strength and quickness, it can have drawbacks such as: poo form (could result in injury or virtually no results), it doesn’t address traditional training, and some athletes can experience some recovery issues. The BFS program doesn’t obey the principle of individual differences (since it prescribes the same set/rep/exercise scheme for all individuals) or the GAS principle (since there isn’t a period of low intensity following the high intensity training. The BFS workout program however does obey the principle of overcompensation (sine there will be stress responses to the workouts), the principle of overload (weight will challenge athletes with weight greater than normally encountered), and the Use/Disuse principle (f you don’t continue the workouts you will lose what you have gained). It is possible for this program to achieve both the SAID principle and the Specificity Principle (one can train in a specific manner to achieve certain results and you can do
