You want to pause it, but hold and support the weight while you're doing it. This one's one of my favorite ones. This is one of the ones I do on a regular basis. When I'm in a set and I feel stronger than the rep range that I thought I was going to hit, I just start pausing. And I'll pause in the stretch typically. And it's amazing. It's really amazing.
Right. Next up is to go faster. Actually live faster. This is the riskiest of all the ways. to progressively overload. But what you do is you take a weight that you can move relatively quickly and then try to see if you can move it faster. This is like Olympic weightlifters do this. So an Olympic weightlifter who move, let's say they can lift 135 pounds. Let's say they can throw up 135 pounds.

This one's especially important for athletes. You get good at this, it makes you dangerous on the field because fast strength is what translates.
