Most of the latest gymmers and bodybuilders are very tensioned that they cannot feel/experience the growth or muscle gain in spite of continuously exercising and working out.

Challenging yourself would be the most important key point in bodybuilding for progressive results.
One of the most common reason for not achieving good results is performing the same routine, same exercises and with same sets ,reps and volume everyday in the gym, is it not so boring. Most of the beginners fear lifting heavy or increasing the weight from which he had done last because of pain and uncomfortability during recovery period. When you fell pain remember you are progressing.

So, in this article I am going to discuss the most common mistake which decline the achievement of required result, that is, progressive overload.
Progressive overload is one of the most important technique which can be and is used to make better size gain and strength development. It is similar to challenging yourself with greater risk to your next level every time.

What is progressive overload?
This technique simply states that in order to make muscle gains and strength development just increase the work done by the muscles or make the particular muscles work harder than the last time. As human beings become harder and stronger by the experiences. These are also called resistance training.

Let's assume you are performing plane bench chest press and you lifted 20 kgs in your first set. Hence, your chest will grow to this extent and is capable of experiencing the muscle stress produced by this weight. So, know are you going to lift the same weight in the next set or what?
If you lift same weight, it becomes useless hence no gains. You need to lift heavier than the last sets and more heavier in the next set and correspondingly.
This is actually what is progressive overload or resistance training.


Progressive overload has many advantages including, proper muscle gains, strength development, fat loss, body shredding, etc.
