Some say that linear progression (LP) only works for lifters who have never trained before. Others think that they’ll only do LP once, but this isn’t the case.
Intermediate and advanced clients who have never completed LP find that an abbreviated LP leads to PRs, as the simplicity and intensity of adding weight each session drives rapid progress.
Following an injury, a break from training, or peaking for a meet, clients often train using linear progression once again. They almost always end with heavier weights than their first LP.
Linear progression is the fastest progress you’ll ever make as a lifter. Though novices often look longingly at more complicated training, advanced trainees miss the simplicity, rapid progress, and relatively low volume of LP.
You can still do LP.
