INSIGHT

Progressive Overload Definition

  • Progressive overload is best understood as improving workout performance over time.
  • This improvement stems from various adaptations in the central nervous system and muscles, not just adding weight.
INSIGHT

Complex Adaptations in Strength Training

  • Strength training adaptations are complex and not solely due to hypertrophy or fatigue.
  • Factors like motor unit synchronization, tendon stiffness, and antagonist co-activation play a role.
INSIGHT

Performance vs. Hypertrophy

  • Improved performance doesn't guarantee hypertrophy, but consistently poor performance suggests no hypertrophy (excluding fatigue).
  • Multiple adaptations, not just muscle growth, can improve performance.
