You hear the term „progressive overload“ everytime when someone is talking about building muscle, but do you actually know what progressive overload is? Progressive overload doesnt mean only increasing the weight or reps, there are many more ways to apply progressive overload, that i bet you didnt even know about, im gonna tell you about every single way of applying progressive overload. So, what does progressive overload even mean in the first place? Progressive overload means, that as the time goes on you increase the difficulty of the exercise you are doing. Using progressive overload will guarantee muscle growth, without it, you will never make any significant progress. The 2 most used types of progressive overload are increasing the weight and increasing the reps, but they are not the only ones, you can use methods like decreasing the rest time between the sets or performing the reps slower than usual, or even adding a pause to the exercise. And if your bodyweight decreases while you still lift the same amount of weight, its also a type of progressive overload. And if nothing works, there are couple of things that you can do, you can switch the exercise variation completely for couple of months and then come back later, to break through the plateau. And if you are really experienced you can try partial or forced reps, where you go beyond failure. But this is not recommended for beginners. And if you feel completely burned out from trying to force progress nonstop, it might be a good idea to do a deload. After you watch this video, you will know everything about progressive overload, and you can start to gain muscle mass fast!
