When Should Your Weight Increase?

In this week’s Deep Dive Video, I talk about signs that you should try and increase the weight on a certain movements and what scenarios you should do more reps than prescribed on your whiteboard. 

As a general rule, we want the last 2-3 reps of the movement to be the most difficult. 

More important than the load, however, is how the movement feels.

Before even thinking of increasing weight, be sure to have your form dialed in. It might take many weeks with the same weight for this to happen, and that’s okay! 

You’ll know you’re ready - when you feel like you could do almost double the prescribed reps, or those last two feel exactly like the first two. 

Watch the video on IGTV to catch the rest, like when you should lower your push up bar, or adjust your body’s position on inverted rows.
