30 Seconds SummaryThe 3 Step Progressive Overload Scheme
- Progressive overload is essential in training, involving increasing effort in the gym through more reps, sets, and load over time.
- To effectively progress, standardize your form to avoid improper techniques like half squats or bouncing the bar off your chest.
- The triple progression method simplifies progressive overload: first add reps, then sets, and finally increase the load once upper limits of reps and sets are reached.
- This method is especially applicable to assistance movements in training, focusing on smaller, incremental load increases.
- Periods of reduced volume/intensity (deloads) are crucial for recovery to continue benefiting from progressive overload.
- Though the triple progression method may be limited post-newbie stage, especially in compound lifts, it works well for single-joint assistance movements.
