I have a question about progressive overload for movements that have a rep range of 8-12 in phase 2 of MAPS Anabolic. Is it best to stay at a given weight until I can correctly do 12 reps before moving up to a new weight, or is it okay to move up in weight and drop the reps to 8 if I can move the weight correctly for a set of 10? Which approach is best?
In the strength phase of the anabolic program, on the squats, bench, and deadlifts, do you do all your sets and reps at the same weight or do you try to go up in weight with each set?
