Chaselynn Williams

Welcome back to the Workout Clarity Series, where we ditch the guesswork and finally get the results we’re looking for! This week, we’re diving into the #1 concept that’s missing from most women’s workout routines: progressive overload.

In this episode, Chase Williams, your go-to coach for sustainable strength, fat loss, and real-life fitness rhythms, breaks down exactly what progressive overload is, why it matters, and how you can start applying it right now – no complicated methods, no extra fluff.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • What is Progressive Overload?
    The science of gradually increasing the stress you put on your body so it can adapt and get stronger.
  • Why “Just Working Out” Isn’t Enough
    Why your body might not be changing, even though you’re putting in the effort.
  • 5 Simple Ways to Apply Progressive Overload
    1️⃣ Add weight
    2️⃣ Add reps
    3️⃣ Increase sets
    4️⃣ Slow down the tempo
    5️⃣ Shorten rest time
  • What Doesn’t Count as Progress
    Why sweating more, feeling sore, or doing random circuits won’t move the needle.
  • Common Mistakes to Avoid
    Don’t sacrifice form for heavier weights or extra reps – it’s about quality over quantity!
