Powerlifting Overload: How Much is Enough?

– Don't confuse high reps with overload - powerlifting needs heavy weights.

– Overload isn't just about lifting the heaviest weight possible.

– Overload for powerlifting involves both intensity (weight) & volume (sets & reps).

– Gradually increase training intensity & volume over time, not every session.

– Manage fatigue to avoid overtraining and injury.

Combine overload with other principles like specificity for optimal powerlifting results.
