Tip: Strength Intensity Progression

For those of you who have been deadlifting or squatting heavily for a long time, you may have already experienced this: leaving a rep or two in the tank each week for years on end leads to incredible progress. One of the quickest ways to slow down your progress is by pushing too hard/too fast, leading to injury, overtraining, or plateau. If you can continue to come in every week and slowly add weight to the bar for these big movements, you will be amazed at how strong you are in a few years. Remember, true strength takes years, not weeks.
