Progressive Overloading
Have you stopped making gains?
Thats generally because of one of three reasons
1. Nutrition, Rest, and Recovery
2. You have not developed a connection with the muscle, or you lost connection with the muscle
"You just go through the motions"
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
3. You never progressively overload the muscle
Lets discuss the third reason
Once you where able to perform a specific amount of sets for a specific amount of sets, thats all you continued, and still continue to do. Well, the progressive overloading principle teaches us that once you can perform a specific amount of sets for a specific amount of reps, that you need to increase the weight for that exercise. And that is where I see a lot of people fall off, they forget / forgot to continue to push themselves even if that meant only increasing the weight by five pounds. That is like a martial artist who earns his first belt and calls it good, like they have accomplished all they need to accomplish in martial arts and don't need to continue to persue another belt.
If you reach that point you have to continue to push yourself, even if that just means increasing the reps, or trying different techniques like changing the tempo, negatives / positives, partial reps, isometric holds, or how about trying a completly different routine or exercise, something, anything to keep from stalling and continue to make gains.
Thank you, like, subscribe, and comment if you like the video, or if you just like what I have to say in the description. I am trying to get better while on camera and will try to continue to post content in practice of getting better on camera.
Remember I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be a doctor, and you should discuss any diet and your health problems with your doctor before you begin any diet regimen.
