Want To Get Stronger? Go At Your Own Pace

A strength training technique called autoregulatory progressive resistance exercise (APRE) in which athletes increase strength by progressing at their own pace provides better results than standard techniques in which resistance is steadily increased

Compared to Traditional Strength Training [linear periodization (LP) training], APRE Yields Big Results

For competitive athletes seeking to increase strength, periodization produces greater strength gain. In the traditional LP approach, this is done by gradual, steady increases in weight. APRE offers an alternative approach, allowing athletes to increase strength at their own pace by catering to their individual strength or performance on a daily basis.
