Document Summary

Muscular strength: the magnitude of strength enhancement is dependent on the muscle actions used, intensity, volume, exercise selection and order, rest periods between sets, and frequency. For progression during strength training for novice, intermediate, and advanced individuals, it is recommended that both con and ecc muscle actions be included. It is recommended that novice to intermediate lifters train with loads corresponding to 60 70% of 1 rm for 8 12 repetitions and advanced individuals use loading ranges of 80 100% of 1 rm in a periodized fashion to maximize muscular strength. It is recommended that a general resistance training program (consisting of either single or multiple sets) should be used by novice individuals initially. For continued progression in intermediate to advanced individuals, multiple-set programs should be used with a systematic variation of training volume and intensity (periodized training) over time, as this has been shown to be the most effective for strength improvement.
