If you want to get bigger, you-ve got to get stronger, period. It-s no secret that progressive overload is the most critical factor in any training program when the goal is muscle size. However, the problem becomes that when coaches say, -you-ve got to get stronger, - most people assume that it means to lift heavier; it doesn-t. Progression is not about adding 5 pounds to the bar; it-s about getting better. As long as you-re getting better, chances are, you-re getting bigger. Although the main goal is to add more weight to the bar, there will come a time in your training where you-ll feel as if you-ve been stuck using the same weight for the last 12 months. When that happens, and you feel as if you-re not progressing enough to grow, start focusing a bit more on the following progression techniques mentioned in this video. Not only will this ensure that you-re building muscle, but all of these strategies will help when it comes down to adding weight to the bar later

No you have not gained more strength if you did many many reps last week, to do the same weight for a few more reps this week. You now might have a greater endurance (which is exactly the point, why to do more and more reps, but you won't be able to deal with much greater loads in a short time. (That means, not as if you went directly to weights that you can only lift a few times, bevore increasing the weight as soon as you can lift it more often, to keep the maximum force input from the very beginning of the set)

It is up to the volume increase and accessory exercises. Treat accessory also as a movement where you add weight. I had a huge PR because i spent a few months working on my core with a lot of volume, adding up to where i lifted 10500kg in one deadlift session. Focus on safety and always dance around the line where you would be exhausted and can barely recover and go a little lighter BUT adjust by the day. Some days are crap, some are great, adjust yourself.

Over the years I've used all of these. And they all work! Now, at 77 I've modified one thing that has allowed me to still work hard. My joints are crap so I've started doing Only two sets per exercise but a min of 25 repos. Probably not for everyone but now I leave the gym with muscles hurting but not joints. Feel fine after the shower. It-s tough though. Mentally you'll want to stop before muscles failure. Old mental failure will get you!

1. More reps until you hit 15
2. More sets until you hit 5
3. Higher frequency (more sessions per week) per muscle group up to 3
4. Increasee training density (decrease rest time between sets)
5. Increase force
6. Decrease weight and increase sets and or reps
7. Add reps to isolation lifts (go beyond faliure)

Try convict conditioning. One arm pullups(biceps, one arm handstand pushups(shoulders, one leg pistol squats, bridging(lower back) and one arm standard pushups. Then add in parkour explosive movements (jumping, hopping, sprints) All free, natural and functional for real world strength.

Consistency is key to any wanted results as long as it is practiced with subtlety. Do not go beyond what you can achieve until you-ve reached strength in technique and proper controlled exercises.

My PE100 class in 1979 at UCSU had us lifting 3 times a week, 3 sets of ten. I put on 20 lbs that year of mostly muscle. SO most of the info in this video seems like it has been around a long time.

If all of this true if so iam definitely willing to do this to get better results i-ve always been adding weight to my sets I just need to know if this is legit information?
reply

My rule is 8-12 reps. Depending on the workout, like pressing or curling movements, If I can-t do 8 reps, it-s too heavy. If I do more than 12, I increase the weight.
