GUIDELINES TO TICK THE PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD BOX

Most people focus on weight to change their training, but there are many other factors you can adjust too. Making sure your training plan gets progressively more challenging is the trigger that forces your muscles to adapt and become stronger and bigger.

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS VS. MUSCLE BREAKDOWN

Interestingly, the muscle-building process starts with muscle tissue breakdown. It’s important to understand how to manage this process, so you don’t end up breaking down healthy muscle tissue to provide additional energy during prolonged training sessions.

TRAINING PRINCIPLES

Strength development and muscle growth requires you to “rep it right”,  Understanding the sweet spot for reps, time under tension (TUT) and the correct weight (by volume) to achieve your muscle building goals.
