Episode 7: Are You Actually Getting Stronger? How to Track Progress Without Maxing Out

In this solo episode of the TSG podcast, host Arian reveals how powerlifters can accurately track their strength gains without the physical toll of constantly maxing out or waiting months for a competition to see if their program actually worked. He breaks down TSG's "test-retest method," a coaching system that uses indirect assessments like AMRAPs, RPE, velocity tracking, and volume PRs to safely gauge progress at the end of key training phases. By treating your training plan like a scientific hypothesis, you can continuously adjust your workload based on objective data.To prove how powerful this framework is, Arian shares an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a real athlete whose squat strength suddenly started plummeting mid-program. Tune in to discover the exact adjustment Arian made to rescue their numbers and trigger a massive 35-kilo turnaround.TSG Coaching MentorshipTSG Instagram
