š„ PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD š
šØ āProgressive overloadā is the MAIN driver of muscle growth, meaning that every single strength training program finalized towards muscle gains, SHOULD be based on this very principle. However, most people think that āProgressive Overloadā means only to add weight to the bar (which mind you, itās most of its meaning) but itās NOT just that. ā£

Quite infact, each of these variables contribute to Progressive Overloading just as much as the first one. ā£

Bettering your technique surely helps you build a stronger base for you to progress on the very exercise, avoiding the injuries it could lead to. Plus, it definitely helps to lift more weight. ā£

Increasing the capacity to lift X amount of weight for MORE reps, contributes to progressive overloading aswell. More volume = more gains. ā£

Resting less between sets means that youāve built more capacity on your training. Youāve adapted to it, and youāre doing better!ā£

Each one of these IS Progressive Overloading, aka GAINS. Next time youāre worried about not being able to lift more weights, notice if youāre atleast doing things ābetterā, or if youāre able to add more reps to the tank. Or maybe simply rest less. Thatās STILL gains right there. ā£
