Welcome back to the Workout Clarity Series, where we ditch the guesswork and finally get the results we’re looking for! This week, we’re diving into the #1 concept that’s missing from most women’s workout routines: progressive overload.
In this episode, Chase Williams, your go-to coach for sustainable strength, fat loss, and real-life fitness rhythms, breaks down exactly what progressive overload is, why it matters, and how you can start applying it right now – no complicated methods, no extra fluff.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- What is Progressive Overload?
The science of gradually increasing the stress you put on your body so it can adapt and get stronger. - Why “Just Working Out” Isn’t Enough
Why your body might not be changing, even though you’re putting in the effort. - 5 Simple Ways to Apply Progressive Overload
1️⃣ Add weight
2️⃣ Add reps
3️⃣ Increase sets
4️⃣ Slow down the tempo
5️⃣ Shorten rest time - What Doesn’t Count as Progress
Why sweating more, feeling sore, or doing random circuits won’t move the needle. - Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t sacrifice form for heavier weights or extra reps – it’s about quality over quantity!
