We recall that progressive overload refers to increasing the amount of tension your muscles produce over time, and that it’s the primary mechanical driver of muscle growth. This sounds simple enough, but how do you actually accomplish it? Most people don’t.

You must do three things if you don’t want to be one of these people: Follow a proven progression model. Track your workouts. Adjust your diet and training as needed.
