This can be achieved by adding weight, increasing the number of reps, or reducing the rest periods between sets. However, it’s essential to progress gradually, so you don’t risk injury or burnout. Tracking your progress with a log can help you see where improvements are being made and areas that need more attention. Do you track your progress?
