We can train for strength and size at the same time. This is because heavy weights can build muscle and strength, while lighter weights can also build muscle and increase endurance.

To get strong, you need to practice and refine the technical aspect of lifting. Just amping yourself up for one poorly executed lift is not going to do much for your max.

Periodization is the organization of training over time to maximize gains and minimize overtraining. Deloads are periods of reduced intensity and volume to relieve soft tissue and joint stress and promote recovery.

We need to combine rep ranges doing some heavy lifting because strength is specific and some light to moderate lifting to avoid burnout.

We need to continually manage recovery by generally avoiding failure on the big lifts and deloading at least once every couple months.

The program is designed for intermediate to advanced lifters with the goal of gaining size and strength at the same time.
