Before You Add Load, Check Your Baseline

Load Should Follow Readiness

Adding load without checking baseline:

  • Magnifies tightness

  • Amplifies small imbalances

  • Increases injury risk

Baseline stability determines how much you can safely add.


How to Check Your Baseline

Ask:

  • Is range of motion consistent?

  • Do warm-ups feel smooth?

  • Is soreness clearing completely?

  • Are sessions repeatable without strain?

If not, stabilize first.


Why Recovery Reveals Baseline Quality

Recovery helps you:

  • Identify lingering tension

  • Correct mobility gaps

  • Reset the system

It clarifies whether you’re ready.
