34 thoughts on “building strength VS demonstrating strength”
We BUILD strength and TEST strength in slightly different ways.
(yes – perhaps with some exceptions!)
Especially with bodyweight exercise, the difficulty difference between two progressions is often substantial. While we can make micro adjustments to ease this transition, it can often be demotivating if we have trouble going from, say, knee push-ups to full push-ups.
The good news is that while our "gains" in ability aren't immediately obvious, we might still be making good progress!
And the broader lesson that might apply to other strength training is that we don't always have to train at our 1RM. Working below it with a weight/progression we can do competently and safely that's still challenging can build long-term progress!
There might be more I should add, but I'm talking with family at the moment. I can edit later – let me know if there's anything I can clarify!
Greasing the groove is great at this. If you want to get strong, try something that's hard once every 15 minutes to an hour about 7-10 times a day. Do not strain your body, it should be easy. Your body needs to build its neurological path ways in order for it to maximize the use of your muscular threads.
Wait… that was pretty interesting. I was wondering about a similar thing lately. If I workout for 20 min and the workout is somehow tiring but I can finish it without many problems, does it mean it's not as effective as if I did a workout when I do faces and wonder if I can finish it? Where is the line? Sounds like the latter is better but is that so? Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!
Maybe a stupid question but what do yall mean by a rep. ? Is how many time you do the exercise or how many rotations of said exercise?
