Getting better at anything usually requires you to do more of the thing. I wanted to test out this theory and see how many pounds I can add to my squat if I squatted every training session for 100 days.
To be clear, I’m not squatting everyday for 100 days. I’m squatting every time I train, which is typically 3 or 4 days per week depending on the program.
Getting strong typically requires 3 things:
- Increasing absolute strength/skill via circa-max training (max effort training).
- Improving speed-strength and power (dynamic effort training).
- Appropriate training volume (hypertrophy training).
