If your gym goals include building muscle or strength, progressive overload training should be your priority. After all, if your muscles aren’t being challenged, they can’t adapt, grow or get stronger.
If you’re finding progress has slowed down in the gym, or your strength program is getting stale, then you might be experiencing a training plateau. Progressive overload training techniques gradually adapt variables like weight, sets, reps, rest, or tempo to put muscles under more tension, forcing the musculoskeletal system to adapt and get stronger.
