Honest question for those who train for strength: what do you think has been the biggest factor for getting your numbers up? Food, low reps, high reps, periodization, accessories, form, heavy negatives...?

Whenever I hit a ceiling I drop the weight a bit and focus on getting out more reps. Usually helps

Grip strength with dead hangs -> allowed me to get multiple PRs on exercises I had plateaued with, e.g incline bench

Learning how to program for yourself. For me that means low-moderate volume on squat and deadlift and high volume on bench. You’ll be able to break through plateaus way more easily than if you’re just jumping cookie cutter programs.

Should watch some of the YouTube channels by strongmen such as Eddie hall, Tom Stoltman, Brian Shaw, Martins Licis and especially Mitchell Hooper.

For me the biggest changes were after I kept a couple reps in reserve instead of going to failure. But really working to find out what weight was truly allowing me 1/2 RIR. I think it makes a massive difference to recovery and then allows for more consistency.

Assuming you're getting enough food and you've more or less capped your initial strength, it's hands down intensity. You can do high reps, low reps, work on form, do negatives, etc. But if you're not trying your hardest you won't get stronger.

honestly, it's mind-muscle connection. when you can feel the whole movement at where it's targeted. for me I sucked at pull ups and really wanted to get good. I then aimed to do only 3-4 pull ups each day with extreme control (apart from my workouts) now i can comfortably do about 10 clean ones.

Switch from low to high reps (and vice versa) if you hit a plateau Always go to failure Accessories/mobility so you don’t get hurt and can keep it up

Well it depends on the exercise. Some require an immaculate form to perform, some need simply time and perhaps low - rep sets. I improved my squats drastically by going heavier for less reps, the thing that you mentioned. Besides all - sleep and diet will affect all of it the most. Thats my perspective
