Have you ever walked into the gym, warmed up, set up your working weight for an exercise, and then wondered why it feels so much heavier than normal?

You rack the bar, check the plates, and do the math in your head. Did you put the wrong weight on? Or maybe you grabbed the wrong bar?

But when the math checks out, the weight still feels way heavier than last week. It’s frustrating. It’s annoying. And it’s also totally normal.

You’re not alone, so let’s talk about it.

VIS Expert and sports scientist Morgan Smith helped us understand how our hormones impact our training throughout the month. And we’re bringing that knowledge to you through our Period. Period. article and this cycle breakdown.
