At Forge Fitness gym in Rancho Santa Margarita, it is about strenght training the right way.
The longer you weight lift, the harder it becomes to keep making progress. In the beginning stages, adding weight to the bar comes quickly and easily. For most beginners, it’s realistic to increase your upper-body lifts by about 5–10% and your lower-body lifts by 10–15% within the first few months of training.
From the six-month mark onward, things change. It becomes ever more difficult to continue going heavier. At this point, a change of pace is necessary to maintain the gains.
One of the most effective ways to break through a plateau is by using the double progression method—a proven strategy trusted by some of the best in the industry to keep progress moving forward.
We are excited to introduce our new Double Progression 6-week block training programs for back squat and bench press. These programs are designed with two primary goals in mind: progression and an emphasis on technique and form. By focusing on progressive overload through the double progression method, we aim to prevent plateaus and provide measurable and trackable progress. Additionally, prioritising good technique and form is crucial not only for safety but also for ensuring optimal gains from your efforts.
