This document outlines a framework for individuals aiming to reach their strength potential, presenting a comprehensive guide covering the essential elements. It organises the journey into beginner, intermediate, and advanced phases, with each stage focusing on addressing the most significant limiting factors. Key principles discussed include developing proficiency with lifts, building muscle mass, maintaining joint health, and the importance of age as a factor. Furthermore, the guide emphasises the crucial role of recovery, nutrition, stress management, and sleep in facilitating progress, stressing that strength gains occur outside the gym in response to training stimulus. It clarifies that these phases are defined by current limitations rather than arbitrary strength standards.
