So, the athlete in the previous example would squat 100 pounds in session one, and then 105 pounds in session two, 110 in session 3, etc. Increasing intensity is increasing the weight an athlete uses, for the same number of repetitions. ![]() Increasing volume means increasing the number of repetitions the athlete does if they squat 100 pounds for 5 reps in session one, then they’ll squat it for 6 reps in session two, and so on. There are two ways you can increase the stress on an athlete, to keep them moving forward: increase intensity, or increase volume. Doing a little more each time ensures you keep this process going.

In this short series, we’re going to explore some of the principles we here at Power Athlete hang our hat on, and how you can apply them to the Gen Pop, regardless of what brought them through your doors. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still apply them to individuals who might just want to lift some weights and drop a pant size.
