Understanding Progressive Overload Without Overcomplicating It
I've been hearing about progressive overload everywhere lately and honestly it sounded way more complicated than it actually is 😭 I'm trying to understand how to gradually improve my workouts without constantly increasing weights or changing my entire routine. Ngl I don't wanna rush things and end up hurting myself. How do beginners usually apply progressive overload?
Bro you can literally start by adding one or two reps before increasing the weight
Ngl I found it easier once I stopped thinking I had to increase weights every single workout
Girl I started focusing on better form and slower reps and that alone made my workouts harder
Honestly keeping track of your previous workouts helps you know when you’re ready to progress
You can increase reps or sets too. Progressive overload isn’t just about lifting heavier 💪
usually stick with the same routine for a few weeks and make small changes when things start feeling easier
Don’t rush the process man. Consistent small improvements add up way more than ego lifting
Are you currently tracking your weights and reps somewhere? I started using a notes app and it made things much easier
