I used to repeat the same weights and reps every week thinking that was enough to build muscle 😭 But once I started gradually increasing my weights and reps while maintaining proper form I noticed my strength improving. You don't have to make huge jumps every workout because even small improvements add up over time. How do you guys track your progressive overload?
