You're Doing Progressive Overload Wrong (How to Actually Build Muscle)

What this episode covers

To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/Progressive overload is the one principle that actually builds muscle and makes you stronger, and almost everyone gets it wrong. In this episode I break down exactly how to progress in the gym in a simple, practical way you can use tomorrow, whether you're a man or a woman.We cover what progressive overload really is (it's not just adding weight), how hard you should actually train (reps from failure and the right rep range), why soreness and "the burn" are NOT signs of growth, exactly when to add weight, and why you should be resting way longer between sets than you think. Then the part most people skip: recovery. Sleep, protein quality (not just quantity), fats, magnesium, and fiber are what actually let the muscle grow.If you've been training hard and not seeing results, this is almost certainly why.CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:22 What progressive overload actually is (3 ways, including recomp)2:15 How hard to train: reps from failure and rep ranges3:36 The soreness and "the burn" myth4:50 How to progress in practice (when to add weight)5:28 Rest periods: why you should be "lazy" (2 to 5 minutes)6:39 Why getting weaker mid-workout is a good sign8:22 Recovery starts with sleep (the daylight savings effect)10:54 Protein: quantity AND quality (skip the collagen)11:01 Fats, magnesium, and fiber for recovery11:44 Walk off the soreness (skip the massage gun)12:36 RecapWant a program and a coach that dials all of this in for you?
