Progressive overload is one of the most important principles in strength training, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, I revisit the topic and break down exactly what progressive overload is (and isn’t), why so much advice online misses the point, and how you can apply it to maximise your results.I cover:What progressive overload actually means — and why it all comes down to mechanical tensionWhy adding tempo, pauses, or extra sets aren’t true progression (and what they’re really for)The difference between programming strategies and real progressive overloadSafer and smarter exercise choices for training close to failurePractical strategies to progress reps and load without hitting plateausWhy progress doesn’t always happen week to week, and how to think about long-term strategyIf you’ve ever felt confused about whether you’re truly progressing in the gym, or frustrated by a lack of results despite “changing things up,” this episode will give you the clarity you need.If you need help applying these principles to your training, check out my online personal training at: www.andyvincentpt.com
