■ No pain, no
gain may rhyme
pleasingly,
but that doesn’t
mean it makes
sense. “There are
d o z e n s o f w a y s t o
make progress
without pain,”
says strength
and conditioning
coach Rannoch
Donald. “Greasing
the groove is
one. Pick a number
of reps of a
bodyweight move
you can do without
even breathing hard
— five pushups, say,
or two pullups — and
t h e n a i m t o d o 2 0 o r
30 sets throughout
the day. You’ll fit in
a ton of training
volume without
even breaking
a sweat.” No
