Strength Training Principles

When it comes to strength training, exercise selection is important. Choose exercises that allow for full range of motion and proper technique. Intensity is key for strength development, so work with weights that are at or above 85% of your one-rep max. Aim for low repetition ranges, typically around five repetitions per set. The total volume of work sets can vary, but around three sets per exercise is a good starting point. Rest intervals should be longer, around two to four minutes, to allow for adequate recovery. Training frequency can be high for strength training, as the primary driver is neural adaptation. Training the same muscle every day is possible as long as you focus on intensity and practice proper technique.
