Are you really ready to move up in weight? Use these four tricks to learn how to command your top muscle-growing poundages.
Move Up in Weight
When you hit the gym week after week, you have a built-in insurance policy for growth: tons and tons of new weight to add to the bar. Everywhere you look, there are plates to pile on, making progression a no-brainer. And that’s a good thing because training with progressively heavier weights – usually in the 8-12 rep range – is the most universal solution for continuing hypertrophy.
But true mastery of the weight is also key – being able to control the weight on any given exercise throughout the range of motion and commanding it through various speeds and rep ranges lets you know that you are truly ready to move up and move on.
Use these four tricks with your 10RM to continue growing, while also improving muscular density, functional strength and conditioning.
