  • The Principle of Overload asserts that you must gradually and systematically increase your fitness training load.  Overloading causes changes within your muscles as a direct result of the type of training you perform.  Because your body gets used to working out at a particular level, you must progressively increase your work load in order to continue to improve.
  • For strength, lift weights at 60-100% of your single maximum repetition (1 RM) for specific lifts (e.g., squat, bench press).  However, if you are not conditioned, testing 1 RM is not advisable nor is it feasible for all exercises.  One RM calculators offer a safer way to estimate the weight you can lift for a single repetition.
