Limit Strength: The amount of force that you can generate for one all-out effort, through the use of ergogenic aids (drugs, supplements, psychological factors). Consider Limit Strength as the base upon developing your muscles. A foundation (your muscles) built on weak grounds (training program) will be detrimental to your success.

Three types of Limit Strength:

• (1) Eccentric (how much weight you can lower under control)

• (2) Concentric (how much weight lifted at one time with all-out effort)

• (3) Isometric (how much weight you can hold without losing control)
