What is the secondary goal for advanced lifters?

The secondary goal for advanced lifters focuses on minor refinements in technique. At this stage, athletes have typically mastered the fundamental movements and techniques necessary for their lifts. Consequently, their training efforts shift toward fine-tuning and optimizing these techniques to enhance performance. This involves addressing subtle inefficiencies, improving timing, and ensuring that their movement patterns are as effective as possible.

For advanced lifters, even small adjustments can lead to significant improvements in lifts and overall performance. This explains why the focus turns to refining technique rather than learning new techniques from scratch or concentrating on other aspects such as body mass or flexibility, which may not have the same impact on improving lifting outcomes at this advanced level.
