Progressive overload is THIS and entails THUS.Īs I’ve said in countless articles, principles are not methods. The geeks of the board, like me, came on and said, how the hell can you fools be sure that the extra work is NOT progressive? After all, frequency and hypertrophy are good friends.ĭo you see the point here? The gurus were very myopic in their viewpoint. And then they explained about progressive overload. ![]() So, the board gurus came on and flamed him up good and said, NO, you CANNOT do that! You have to stick to your schedule and if you do biceps on the off-days you won’t be able to progress. Not always, but sometimes he would do some sets to failure. And he said that on non-biceps training days he liked to just throw in some extra sets of biceps here and there. So, he listed his routine and what he had been doing for his biceps. I’ll relate a story to illustrate.īack in the day, on one of the bodybuilding forums I was a member of, someone came on and said that he wanted to build up his arms. Other things you do which constitute progressive overload may not be as apparent. ![]() Some of these things, we know and we can predict. The fact that you failed to predict it would work through your knowledge of the principle does not mean it doesn’t work, and that you are crazy and unscientific. This analogy, well it’s the same as for the principles of training! If something WORKS, it is because it obeys the principle. And other things, they will still surprise you. You may, beforehand, through your knowledge, have a pretty good idea that a certain thing will result in a bad reaction. How could you? How COULD you? Some things you must learn through observation, experience, even experimentation. But, you don’t know every single thing that your skin might possibly react to. You may have a better idea, right? You might know that some examples are noxious chemicals, etc. Listen to the voice version (video presentation) So, now, are you armed with all the things that may result in inflammatory skin reactions? I explain to you the principles behind these reactions of the skin. ![]() Suppose then that I had explained the underlying physiology. OK, the hypothetical “you” is a sort of dumb-ass but, knowing that too much sun exposure would inflame your skin will not necessarily make you understand that other things could inflame your skin in similar ways. So, later on, you come to me and say, man, I got this cleaning fluid on me and my skin turned red and got very irritated! You didn’t tell me that would happen, you said the sun would do that! Let’s say that I tell you that spending too much time in the sun will make your skin turn red and become inflamed.
