Barbell Increase 1RM Using Same Weight

[KingBeans]

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. Some time ago I found an article describing a method for increasing your 1RM using one working weight for a certain period of time. Of course the sets/reps varied but that was the gist of it.

I'm 90% certain it was a Strongfirst article but I recently closed that tab (left it open to read later) and for the life of me I can't find it.


Any ideas?

Do you mean this one (although it's kettlebell, not barbell)?

There are a ton of programs that do this.
RoP and Simple Strength for Difficult time Pt1 come to mind.

This sounds a lot like justa singles.

It's been called Step Loading here on SF and mentioned in Power to the People(iirc)

Get Stronger with One Kettlebell

Step loading is kind of necessity with a kettlebell.

But with a barbell.....?

One of the beauties of a barbell is that the weight is micro-adjustable.

I have plates as small as .25 kg, so if I really want to, I can add as little as 0.5 kg a week.

Upgrade Your Strength with the Soju and Tuba Press Program | StrongFirst

The Soju and Tuba step/wave hybrid cycle works with any lift, but is most effective with the kettlebell press since many get stuck at a particular weight.

I've been using this with a sandbag and I really like it.
