Are you struggling to progress your weights at the gym?

Unsure of what weight to lift?

Here’s a simple method to ensure you get stronger every week and stay motivated with your training.

It’s called the 8-12-8 method.

1️⃣ Start with a weight that challenges you for 3 sets of 8 repetitions.

2️⃣ Stick with that weight until you can do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.

3️⃣ Then increase the weight so that it’s heavy enough to only do 3 sets of 8 reps again.

Repeat the process.

This method will give you direction and focus at the gym and you’ll stay motivated because you’ll see progress every workout.

It also ensures that you apply one of the overarching rules of training: Progressive Overload.

Progressive overload is when you gradually increase the weight, frequency, or number of repetitions in your strength training routine.

This challenges your body and allows your musculoskeletal system to get stronger.

Give it a go.
