"Unfortunately, a lot of people think in terms of just 'lifting weight'…they're missing half of the rep (by skipping the negative)."
- Dorian Yates, 6-time Mr. Olympia
When it comes to getting stronger, there are a number of factors at play. The standard variables that we focus on for programming strength building are:
1) Intensity (amount of weight/level of difficulty of an exercise)
2) Volume (number of reps)
3) Density (amount of work done in a given time)
You can look at these as your "main course" variables for strength programming.
But just like no meal is complete without a few side dishes, neither is your programming complete without honing in on the nuances that will help you make the most of your meal. I dish on precisely that in this episode.
