🏋️♂️ Ever feel like you’re working out but not seeing results?
🔥 Progressive overload is the SECRET behind building muscle, increasing strength, and avoiding plateaus!
💪 Learn how to apply this technique to maximize your workouts!
Progressive overload is the gradual increase of stress on your muscles over time to force them to grow stronger, bigger, and more efficient.
✅ If you keep lifting the same weight, doing the same reps, or running at the same speed… your body stops adapting.
✅ To keep progressing, you must consistently challenge your muscles!
💡 Think of it like leveling up in a video game—each level gets harder, but that’s how you get stronger!
Let’s say you’re doing bench press:
Week 1: 3 sets of 8 reps with 40kg
Week 2: 3 sets of 8 reps with 42.5kg
Week 3: 3 sets of 8 reps with 45kg
Week 4: 3 sets of 10 reps with 45kg
💥 By gradually adding weight or reps, your muscles are forced to adapt—leading to more strength and muscle growth!
Instead of adding weight, increase the number of reps (e.g., going from 8 reps to 10 reps).
More sets = more total work = more muscle stimulation!
Mastering proper technique (like deeper squats or controlled negatives) can make exercises more effective and challenging!
Less rest between sets = higher intensity and endurance gains!
Slowing down reps (especially negatives) makes muscles work harder, leading to faster growth!
