   Strength training also requires the use of proper or 'good form', performing the movements with the appropriate muscle group, and not transferring the weight to different body parts in order to move greater weight (called 'cheating'). An injury or an inability to reach training objectives might arise from poor form during a training set.

   Both overload methods are optimal for building muscle mass and strength, however, lifting heavy weights at a lower volume or less repetitions is very optimal for building strength. [ 21 ] It has historically been observed that weightlifting both for health and for appearance is substantially more common among men than among women.

7. Weight machine - Wikipedia

   A weight machine is an exercise machine used for weight training that uses gravity as the primary source of resistance and a combination of simple machines to convey that resistance to the person using the machine. Each of the simple machines (pulley, lever, wheel, incline) changes the mechanical advantage of the overall machine relative to the ...

   Partial rep: A partial rep usually means lowering the bar partially before raising it again i.e., for a half or quarter rep. Because this is a stronger ROM, significantly more weight can be lifted. When used in combination with lighter full reps, this can allow a person to better ensure that the percentage of 1RM lifted for the stronger and ...

9. High-intensity training - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_training

   Advocates of HIT believe that this method is superior for strength and size building to most other methods which, for example, may stress lower weights with larger volume (sets x reps x weight). As strength improves with high-intensity training (HIT), the weight or resistance used in the exercises should be gradually increased over time.
