PROGRESS THROUGH PROGRESSION!

4/18/2023

​Progressive overload is a key principle in strength training that involves gradually increasing the weight or resistance to continually challenge your muscles and promote strength and prevent injury.

Here are a few tips on how to safely implement progressive overload in your strength training program:

Start with a weight or resistance (body weight, tubing, light dumbbells) that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and technique.
  • Increase the weight or resistance gradually, typically by 5% or less per week (the heavier the weight, the lower the percentage increase) to challenge your muscles without risking injury.
  • Focus on compound exercises that target multiple muscle groups, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses.
  • Keep track of your progress by recording your weights, sets, and reps, and aim to gradually increase the workload over time. This is a great way to keep motivated, too.
  • Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or lifting weights that are too heavy for you, as it can lead to poor form and increased risk of injury. Don't let ego determine your weight.
At inbalance FITNESS, our certified personal trainers can guide you in safely, and effectively, implementing progressive overload into your strength training routine to achieve optimal results, and avoiding burnout or injury.
