Lifting: Progressive Overload Beyond Weight
Adding weight is just one piece of progressive overload.
Real training maturity means knowing how to challenge yourself without just piling on plates.
Ways to Progress:
Add reps at the same weight
Add sets to the workout
Slow the eccentric phase (lower the weight slower)
Shrink rest periods
Improve your technique under the same load
Tracking progress in multiple ways keeps you improving without overstressing your joints.
Master the small variables to create long term, sustainable gainz.
