Progressive Overload and Variable Resistance Training

In this podcast episode, the concept of progressive overload and variable resistance training is discussed. The speaker emphasizes the importance of maximizing muscle growth and strength gains in the most efficient way possible. By applying higher levels of force in stronger positions of an exercise and lower levels of force in more compromised positions, individuals can achieve greater levels of fatigue, trigger more growth, and achieve faster muscle protein synthesis. The use of variable resistance training is highlighted as a way to achieve these results without spending excessive time in the gym.
