Progressive overload is one of the most commonly discussed principles in strength training, yet it’s often misunderstood. In this episode, we clarify what progressive overload actually means, why it isn’t about lifting heavier every week, and how progress is meant to unfold over time. We’ll break down the many ways adaptation can happen beyond increasing load, including improvements in form, control, consistency, and recovery. If your training has started to feel overwhelming or like you’re not doing enough, this episode is meant to bring clarity and perspective. We hope you enjoy!
