Description

Progressive Overload is the foundation of strength training. And when you're brand new it's easy to add an extra 5 pounds to a lift, or pump out an extra rep per set, etc. But as you become more advanced those 5 pound jumps in weight become harder and harder to make. And a lot of times guys end up getting injured when trying to increase the weight from week to week.

In this video, we explore another variation of progressive overload for advanced lifters. This goes totally against what you've probably been doing, but it can help you break through plateaus, and do so while preventing injury in the process.

Whether you're a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or just a hardcore fitness enthusiast who's looking to get stronger, this podcast will help you understand how to better use progressive overload and steady state strength training in your fitness journey.
