I've always followed this style.of training. Constant improvement doesn't have to be increasing weight.

[destrohades]

Great vid, but this is triple progression not double. Linear is increasing weight. Double is increasing reps then weight. Triple is reps then sets then weight and repeat.

[boxerfencer]

Great, but this isn't double progression. It's triple progression, since you're progressing reps, sets, and load.

[devprasad]

One of the best youtuber for recreational lifters, he gives very simple and effective informations which every one can follow it.

Great video BHUD, gonna give it a try👍

[vaushawnbrown]

Was just looking at something like this yesterday, right on time

[cplgrievance]

Can I use this technique for all exercises or just the big 4 (bench press, deadlift, squat, over head press)?

[fabiencalonne]

What a great piece of advice! I love this kind of progression. Thank you BHUD!

[tylrdrnbsch]

I’m gonna try this for all my assistance work. Thanks Steve for all your great info!!

[luisalfredoalvaradovillafa]

That's not a triple progression? I have that question cause we are progression on three different variables; sets, Reps and weights

[blackgoatmetal]

Liked the video! Seems quite straight forward and reasonable. Just a question about each set intensity: wouldn't be first three sets (or first two) too much light? Because if somebody could do 12 reps in the 3rd set, it means he could do 16 reps in the 1st set, or make a set with a heavier weights?
Why doing first two not so heavy sets?

[Horus-Lupercal]

I've been doing something similar for chin-ups, didn't think about using it for everything else, looks like it'd work for off season powerlifters well!

[thealleycat]

Fantastic video, great advice thank you.

[weedseeds]

Cool can I do this in the 3-6 rep range & with 3 sets & adding 10lb to the bar.

Been doing reps for too long, I want to go down to the lower rep ranges to build strength.

[alexanderchernoshtan]

Its a step load progression, u volumize with the same weight and than drop the volume and icrease the weight

[LazyAssedPanda]

Very easy to understand and follow. Thanks for this!
Question: When I get the 12 x 4 and start over from 8-12 x 2 with more weight, I imagine my muscles from the exercise gets a little rest since it's less sets, right? Or is the stress about the same since the weight has increased?

[jonduke]

The problem arises that if you're moving a large weight, and therefore every time you increase the weight you are essentially going to have to produce double the work to move that 4x12 from the initial 2x12. That eventually is going to require more energy than you'll reasonably have access to. You will be forced into a lower rep range and into smaller overall double progressions and may have to adopt micro-loading as well. But the progress is going to be very real and very constant. Just don't think you can continue the same scheme forever.

[smartletix]

Amazing technique. But I have a question about the first 2 sets of 8. Should a person use a weight that he can do only 2 sets of clean 8? Thanks for the great content

[Infcted]

ive been doing strip sets on the incline and my power is going up big time. ill do 3 sets and in each set start with 7 10s on each side and drop down to one 10. do this once a week and my God strength is saying hello too me. So i wonder if my body needs higher volume and higher reps on each body part to see more gains. my incline power went up 20% in the past 2 weeks. My friend noticed my strength increase and he is doing it now.

[biggunz]

So would I go to complete failure on the very first set? I always find I can't do as many reps on my second set if I go to complete failure on my first set unless I rest for a very long time between sets.
