**Strength training** aims to make your body produce more force and handle heavier loads. It is pursued by athletes as well as anyone who wants to manage everyday lifting effortlessly and stay capable for years to come. A stronger body is often more resilient and less prone to strain.
Strength develops when you train with fairly heavy loads and lower rep ranges, typically somewhere from one to five reps per set. Good technique is the foundation of everything: learn the basic lifts carefully before adding weight. Increase the load gradually, take adequate rest between sets, and give your body time to recover between sessions. Planning and patience deliver the best long-term results.
