A gradual progression in training involves increasing repetitions or weight slightly each week after an initial technique-focused phase, moving towards challenging combinations that stimulate physiological adaptation.

“the next week they come in and you do the same workout except maybe that last set of every movement after a few technique oriented sets you uh ask them to go for slightly more repetitions maybe not five but now 10 or you put a little bit of weight on the bar something that gets them like oo okay I feel it this is a challenge and then over time slowly every week you increase the weight a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more until several weeks later their technique looks real good which most people can learn really good techniques it's not that complicated in a few weeks and now they're like kind of struggling with their weights we're finally up to a weight and rep combination that's challenging them physiologically every set not just neurologically for how to do the technique”
