Recently there's been some buzz about the term progressive overload which seems to be the newest fitness word being used incorrectly to sell things. Whether it's just marketing, or genuine ignorance to it's meaning, I wanted to do my small part to help you understand what it means.

Progressive Overload is the underlying principal that leads to success in fitness. In short, it is incrementally increasing the difficulty of your training so that your body will continue to adapt and improve.

In this episode I go into more detail as to what it is, why it matters and most importantly, how you can utilize it correctly in your training from now on.

It is not a very complex topic but extremely important nonetheless. If you're not utilizing it to some extent, you almost certainly will not see results long term.

I also make the connection that progressive overload is a term commonly used in strength training but the principal of it applies to every single aspect of our life that we wish to make progress in. School, work, family, home projects, any hobby, everything. To get better you have to do better, simple as that.
