Description

Stronger Doesn’t Always Mean Bigger — The Logbook Trap


John and Luke unpack one of the most common mistakes in bodybuilding: confusing strength progression with muscle growth.


You’ll learn how to:

👉 Redefine “progressive overload” to fit hypertrophy, not powerlifting

👉 Track progress over 4–6 week trends, not week-to-week jumps

👉 Use execution quality to create more stimulus — even at the same load

👉 Balance volume, fatigue, and recovery without losing performance

👉 Spot when it’s time to deload or switch movements

👉 Build muscle through precision, not ego
