Progressive overload: History, Methodology & Scientific principles

Progressive overload is a principle of strength training and hypertrophy training that allows for continuous gains from training. This principle suggests to gradually increase the stress placed upon the musculoskeletal and nervous system to stimulate muscle growth and strength gain by muscle hypertrophy. This improvement in overall performance will, in…
