Tip: Strength Balance Progression

When progressing from week to week, increasing weight is not the only way to progress. Increasing sets or increasing reps are both ways to overload progressively. If you are afraid of adding weight or if your week 3 weights were very challenging, you might be thinking it will be hard to increase total reps, but that is okay. Even one more rep (or even making more of the reps high quality) is a form of progression.
