Episode notes
Progressive Overload with Tempo
- Use tempo, squeezes, stretches, and focus to make a 20-rep weight feel like a 10-rep weight.
- This builds muscle without adding weight, benefiting beginners and advanced lifters.
Pausing for Intensity
- Pausing at the hardest parts of reps makes weights feel heavier.
- Pause at the bottom of squats or a few inches off the floor for deadlifts.
Explosive Lifting
- Lifting lighter weights faster increases intensity and activates fast-twitch muscle fibers.
- This approach requires good stability and control, making it more advanced.
