How Can Beginners Effectively Implement Progressive Overload in Their Workouts?

To help you get stronger and see progress in your workouts, here are some simple steps to follow:

  1. Lift Heavier Weights: Start with a weight you can lift comfortably for 8 to 12 times. When that feels easy, try adding a little more weight, about 5-10%.

  2. Do More Reps: After you get used to a weight, try to do an extra rep or two each time you lift.

  3. Change Your Speed: You can make your lifts tougher by changing how fast you do them. For example, try lifting slowly on the way down.

  4. Try New Exercises: Use different exercises that work the same muscles. For instance, instead of doing a bench press, you can switch to an incline press.

If you stick to these steps, you'll see improvements and keep challenging yourself!
