Progressive overload is the principle of improving, no matter whether you’re assisted or natural.

There will be periods of time when in a surplus or deficit or on/off cycles where strength may go up or down, but the aim is to always try to progress. You need the mentality to always go into a training session believing this. If you’re genuinely giving your max intensity on that given day, there’s nothing more you can do. The log book is there to keep data, track progress and give you the belief and the numbers to aim for, but they won’t always indefinitely keep improving every single week.

TQ Clare!

hi kevin, do u take yr RDLs to failure?

Hi Henry I learned to do 0 RIR
so if I know I cannot perform another rep with perfect execution at a compound lift like that I stop right there.
My cns and recovery has improved a lot since I do that.
I think of all out: Is when you fail at the concentric and 0RIR is when you know you can’t perform the next rep with spot on execution , so you stop.
Hope this answers your question buddy

TQ!

i nvr like reps abv 12. keeps me breathless.

Henry, imo keep volume low, increase your rep ranges if need to for safety at your age, but still absolutely go at it intensity wise

As a beginner , training at the highest frequency possible is key, so full body training , once you have built 2 or so years of muscle , an upper lower split is then applicable as body parts need more volume than previous. However volume is still low , and therefore intensity is still high. Again let’s nail a couple years here, and we get to push pull leg variations volume per body part increases but volume is still low ish. At this point driving strength is still absolutely key , accumulating volume really isn’t necessary just for the sake of it, you will just hinder your ability to get crazy strong .
Again fast forward a period of time and body parts need to be split up again, more volume again. At this point it becomes harder to keep gaining strength and then focusing on total work through accumulating volume is a more logical option, rir is the most logical way to accumulate maximal work.

Through this process, volume goes up and down depending on recovery , intensity goes up and down depending on recovery : extending sets with PR is a great tool , if recovery Permits.

I really hope posts like this show the bigger picture that there isn’t a system, or a method , but just logical alterations within someone’s needs and recovery capabilities . Page 94

Hi Jordan, i’ve been training since teens and now in my late 40s. But i am nowhere near advance in development. So should i focus on driving strength or accumulate volume?

I will explain a little more , to be helpful , instead of just getting frustrated .

Training is a constant auto regulation , to bring about a novel stimulus. I am a huge believer that low volume, focusing on high intensity is the fastest way to do this, you can train at high frequency, you can get strong very fast and that strength coupled with a surplus builds tons of muscle
