Have you ever wanted to grow your muscles more?

Maybe you are looking for bigger muscle size, strength, vascularity, or all of the above? The reason you aren't growing may have nothing to do with your nutrition or work ethic. The reason may be because your training isn't conducive to these goals. The reason might be that you just aren't pushing yourself with a commonly misunderstood technique called Progressive Overload.

Not enough people understand the concept of Progressive Overload when it comes to training.

So what does it mean?

Progressively (continuously) overloading your muscles is really the only way to ensure muscular growth and strength increases. This means incorporating some strategies such as: constantly increasing weight, reps, number of days of training, and slowing down your rep speed. The reason these work is because your body continually has to grow and develop more strength/size in order to keep up with the continuously increased load.

Oh, and there are more ways to dial in progressive overload beyond what is listed above, discussed in the episode.

One thing I've learned about Progressive Overload over the years is that most people DON'T understand what it means, how to use it properly, and the amazing benefits it can provide for ANYONE. It's not just for powerlifters, bodybuilders, or gym rats. This is a concept and practice that can help literally anyone increase their fat burning, look better, be more energetic, and improve their overall body composition.

Have a listen, and share with a like-minded friend.
