Strength is a skill built through consistent practice, not occasional heavy lifts. Each rep should be technically identical, with only bar speed varying. The speaker explains the trade-off: high frequency and volume require lower intensity, while heavy weight demands lower frequency.

Strength is a skill. The way we get strong is with practice and with frequency. And it's practice, not performing. Because if you can develop the skill, let's say, of deadlifting, where every single rep looks the same— and I have a saying that people have to earn their weight to the bar. The only thing that should change from rep 1 to rep 5, let's say for example, is what? Speed of the bar. That's the only thing that should change. The speed at which they lift. Technically, the way they set up, the way they move, everything should be identical from the same. Strength is a skill. The way you can train that skill, the only way to fast-track that is with frequency. And again, if you're doing high frequency and high volume, which we'll talk about later, then the intensity has to go down. If it's high intensity, you're going to do less frequency.
