Here's a rule of thumb: never add more than 10% weight per week during a progression. However, both sides of the spectrum will quickly experience how impractical this rule of thumb is.

The rule that both NSCA and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommend is the “2-for-2 rule.” After a few workout sessions, you can increase the weight for a certain exercise once you can perform two more repetitions beyond your repetition goal for the last set for two weeks in a row.
He follows the "2x2" training rule: take 2 exercises per workout, and perform 2 sets each at a very high effort level. Filly recommends trying to hit 90 percent of your max.
A 2x2 matrix is a graphical representation that classifies information into four quadrants based on two sets of variables. The simplicity of this format allows for a quick analysis of strategic options and their associated risks or benefits.
Agile development teams use the 2×2 prioritization approach to determine which features, fixes, and enhancements to work on next. An agile product team can use this approach to identify the limited features needed for a minimum viable product (MVP).
In this workout you will complete 5 minutes of cardio (5 exercises for 1 minute each), 4 minutes of lower body (4 exercises for 1 minute each), 3 minutes of upper body (3 exercises for 1 minute each), 2 minutes of core (2 exercises for 1 minute each), and 1 minute of cardio (1 exercise for 1 minute).
