Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
