High-Intensity Strength Training: What to Individualise
High-intensity training emphasises hard effort and relatively brief sessions. The useful principle is focused work; it does not mean every person should train every exercise to failure.
Define intensity clearly
Load, proximity to failure and session difficulty are different ideas. Record the exercise, repetitions and estimated effort so a challenging set has a clear meaning.
Use technique and recovery as constraints
A set is no longer serving its purpose when the task changes into uncontrolled repetitions. Choose exercises that can be performed safely in the available setting and keep recovery between sessions adequate.
Adapt the method to the client
Beginners, experienced lifters and someone returning after illness may need different workloads and stopping points. Training systems are options to assess, not obligations to follow unchanged.
