Weights and
numbers
Remember, don’t chase numbers
on the bar. Weight is irrelevant.
Hudson believes that if you squatted
3-plates for 6 reps last week, but
today you had a stressful day at
work or were up all night with the
kids being sick, you just have a usual
“real life”. With these typical day-to-
day events, you are going to be tired
and may only manage 4 reps, so
don’t beat yourself up!
The approach Hudson has may
sound laid back but you won’t lose
muscle! You won’t lose size! You
won’t NOT gain muscle!
This is how he has lead his
training lifestyle, this way, he
doesn’t have unwanted stress
causing muscle loss.
If Hudson has a slightly weaker
training session, he knows It’s just
his body saying, “yeah I’m not feeling
this today”. It’s not an issue, all he
does to work productively through
this is overload the muscle the best
he can and train to failure for the
“environment” the body is in there
and then, that way he knows he did
more than enough, and the session
HAS been productive!
Hudson trains smart, listens to his
body. If his body tells him to “back
off”, he won’t push it, and this way
doesn’t cause injury. He stresses
that whatever you do, don’t be a
moron and think “I need to beat last
week’s lifts”.
Having a lighter session when
your body needs it will make no
difference. Push yourself to the
limit for that day, at that moment.
Make every rep, every set and
