Overload Explained: Pushing Your Limits for Different Training Goals

– Overload training is key for progress, but the specifics differ for strength & hypertrophy.

– Don't expect significant size gains by lifting weights below 60% of your 1RM.

– Focus on higher volume (sets & reps) for hypertrophy training compared to strength training.

– Progressively increase weight or volume (or both) to keep challenging your body.

– Apply overload strategically - consider intensity, volume & exercise selection based on your goal.

Embrace the challenge! Overload training pushes you to reach new strength & size goals.
