This week, on the Smart Strength Training Podcast, I'm discussing the topic of Progressive Overload and Training to Failure when resistance training. Each week, I get asked questions about progressive overload, as many trainers talk about it but often miss the nuances, leading to a lot of confusion.
In this episode, I'll talk through:
What should you be trying to progress in strength training?
What are mechanical tension & metabolic stress?
The truth about rep speed/tempo when training.
Whether you should add weight or reps.
RIR scores and RPE scores.
Using AMRAPs to standardize your training.
If you need help implementing the advice from this week's episode into your own training, check out my 1-on-1 online personal training and nutrition:
