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...?

When I was at my strongest I was doing high frequency barbell lifts and close variations, med to low reps, submax back off work. Basically 531 sort of stuff but high frequency. I was also bulking like a nut. Years later I'm still trying to shed that weight 😑

I was doing UHF by gzcl, 5 days if I remember. Each lift got hit 3x weekly. Absolutely destroyed my joints and tendons though. I do body building style training now (5-7 days weekly), significantly weaker, but in much better shape and stronger at higher rep ranges than before.

Yeah, I've basically been doing some form of 531 for a few years now. 

High frequency like every day? 

Good to know about the bulking. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
