227 Kathryn & Kyle: Accessory exercises and how to use them

Mindful Strength

Accessory exercises are supportive to your big goals. Want to be able to do a chin-up? Yes, practicing chin-ups are cool, but what's even more useful is assessing which supportive exercises you need more of and building them up. Accessory exercises build up your weaker muscles, ranges, or movements.

Kathryn talks about how she started with 3 months of accessory training before graduating to full-body lifts like squats and deadlifts. This type of training transformed her injuries and pain and built her confidence for heavier lifting later to come.
