- Strength is the maximum force that a muscle/group of muscles can exert in a single movement/contraction/against a resistance.
- How to measure strength.
- I held a grip dynamometer in my hand/arm by my side and squeezed the handle as hard as I could
- weight training exercise you could use to improve strength.
- Bench press
- initial level of intensity
- I lifed 70% of my one rep max 6 times.
- Why would you progressively overload this exercise?
- So my level of strength will increase.
- When?
- After 4 weeks / When I felt it was easier to lift the weight.
- How?
- I increased the number of reps from 6 to 7
