In this concise fitness tip, Eric Roberts explains how lifters can avoid plateaus by applying two systematic progression methods. First, he recommends linear progression for compound lifts—adding roughly 5 lb each week to exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench press. Second, he outlines a double‑progression scheme for accessory movements such as lunges, lat pulldowns, and lateral raises: start with a weight that allows 8 reps, add one rep each week until reaching 12, then increase the load and reset reps to 8. He asserts that consistently using these protocols will ensure continual strength gains and encourages viewers to follow for more workout advice.
