So, I’ve been thinking about how to effectively use the above mentioned progression models based on the fase or training age of the trainee (leaving neurotype out of the equasion).
This looks pretty solid to me:
-
Double progression: best applied for linear blocks, with beginners or during accumulation fases
-
Fixed weight progression: best applied for ascending volume blocks, with beginners or during strength-skill work (when the goal is to add more reps over the weeks)
-
Ramp up progression: best applied for ascending intensity blocks, with intermediates/advanced trainees or during intensification fases
-
Percentage based progression: best applied for ascending intensity blocks, with intermediates/advanced trainees, during intensification fases or strength-skill work (when to goal is to get used to heavier loads over the weeks but still keeping some reps in reserve to allow for maximum technical efficiency)
Of course there are more progression models but these are the ones I prefer using most of the time with clients.
I’m always trying to improve my skillset so if you have any pointers Coach, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
