Progressive Overload explained 👇🏼 Progressive Overload put simply, is doing more over time. Implementing this within your programme will allow you to develop and avoid you hitting a plateau, which can happen if you keep doing the same workout without any progression. It’s important to ensure that you are stimulating the muscles and putting them under stress to grow & develop. Here are ways that you can progressively overload: - Increase the weight used. - Increase the reps. - Increase the sets. - Reduce the speed (so that your muscles spend more time under tension). - Add pauses to movements. For example pausing at the bottom of a squat. - Add pulses to movements. - Add static holds. - Use 1/2 or 1/4 reps. Remember that it’s not just about the weight used, and these other methods are very beneficial. I hope this helps!
