Progressive Overload DOES NOT Build Muscle!

Описание: Progressive overload does not build muscle, it simply tells you that you’ve built muscle. Think about it, when you go into the gym, you want to progressive overload, right? However, in order to do that you need to have gotten stronger, and built muscle, so that you can actually lift more weight the next time you do that exercise. But how exactly do you build muscle? Very simple. You train very close or to muscular failure, so that the concentric velocity of your reps slows down, forcing more muscle fibers to be recruited, thus producing more force and eliciting mechanical tension. This mechanical tension then increases the rate of muscle protein synthesis inside the cell, thus causing hypertrophy and building muscle. And what caused this to happen? Training to failure. It’s not the fact that you waltzed into the gym and added a 5 pound weight onto your bicep curl, it’s the fact that you trained to failure, paired with proper nutrition and recovery that built you the muscle. And now that you’re stronger with that new muscle, the next time you do that bicep curl, in order to train to failure again, you will most likely have to do more reps, because you are stronger than you were last time. And eventually you will have built enough muscle where it is necessary to increase the weight, in order to stay in your desired rep range.
