The way to get stronger and make muscles bigger is to apply progressive overload. This means making each type of lift on successive workout sessions just a bit harder than it was last time. This can be done in a number of ways:

  • increasing reps in the set
  • increasing sets (less common)
  • increasing weight
  • decreasing rest time

Those are the “main” methods, but Jeff Nippard suggests a few other methods, too.

  • changing Lifting Tempo
  • focus on a full range of motion
  • increasing mind-muscle connection
