Description

Ep 83: If you’ve ever wondered why your workouts don’t seem to be changing your body anymore, the answer might be simple: you’re not using progressive overload. In this episode, Chelsey breaks down exactly what progressive overload is, why it’s non-negotiable for strength, muscle growth, and even fat loss, and how to apply it in your own training without burning out.

We’ll cover:

  • What progressive overload really means (in simple terms)
  • Why your body stops changing when you do the same workouts
  • Different ways to apply progressive overload beyond just lifting heavier
  • The most common mistakes people make when trying to progress
  • Why it matters whether your goal is strength, muscle, or fat loss
  • Practical examples you can use this week to start progressing

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to move from “working out” to actually training with purpose — and that’s when results start happening.
