PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD & why you should care 💭
Progressive overload is one of the key principles of strength training. It is essentially “doing a little more” than the last time, i.e. using a heavier weight or adding one more rep. By progressively overloading our current capability, we force the body to adapt and ultimately get stronger!
🔑 The key is to do so GRADUALLY to avoid injury, while not sacrificing your FORM, another key concept of any strength training program. If you cannot maintain your form with the chosen method of overload, then tailor it back. Remember, there is no rush.
METHODS:
• Increase weight
• Increase reps or sets
• Increase frequency of workouts
• Decrease tempo
• Decrease rest between sets
Remember to listen to and take care of your body - nutrition, hydration, sleep, and recovery all play a huge role in your performance and results.
