When it's mentioned, you think of adding plates to the bar, but is this the best way to get stronger safely?
There are quite a few ways to increase strength/muscle mass without needing to add weight first right?
A few examples I can think of is -higher reps -slower reps -paused reps -less recovery between sets
Shouldn't you reach a point where once you can tick a few of these boxes, that'd be the best time to add weight, as you potentially wouldn't plateau as quickly?
Should adding weight be the best way to take a step forward or is it not necessary for muscle growth until you're breezing through your current weight while doing all of these things, as you'd still be providing stimulus for growth.
Keep in mind im new to lifting and am only bringing up these questions for a thoughtful discussion from people who can speak with experience
