Everyone knows that in order to continually get stronger, bigger, leaner or faster you must consistently challenge your body by adding progression. More specifically, you need to always incorporate a progressive challenge to your workouts.
.
Although this concept is well known, the methods of how to do this safely, efficiently and effectively are still somewhat of a mystery to athletes and coaches alike.

In this Blog post series, I’m going to provide you with a multitude of challenging, fun and effective ways to continually gain muscle, increase strength, improve explosiveness and reduce body fat without increasing the load on the bar or dumbbell.

As always great stiff Nick, thanks for the info!
I like it!! Great idea
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I have REALLY relied on Scott Abel’s basic formula of:
Form (first) → Speed and/or Range of Motion → Load → Complexity of Movement
In helping my clients or other trainers I train understand exercise selection, digressing and progressing as the client fatigues or adapts or even deloads, this formula has always worked (more or less).
Sometimes load is the best way to progress when speed or ROM doesn’t really apply. Sometimes complexity is better (2 leg squat to 1 leg squat; bulgarian split squat).
Thanks for this info, Coach Nick. It can’t be reiterated enough!
