The Many Forms of Progression

There are many forms of progression; not just adding more and more weight to your lifts:

•Rest less between sets
•Use greater range of motion
•Introduce short pauses at or near sticking points
•Use better technique (knee tracking, neutral spine, etc.)
•Use less “psyche up” on heavy lifts
•Use less supportive gear (belts, wraps, etc.)
•Train alone or with no music
•Use fewer warm-up sets than usual
•Work harder than usual on warm-ups (pre-exhaustion)
