Is your body refusing to grow, despite months of serious gym-time?

Perhaps this technique will help you break through the plateau.

Progressive overload is a foundational principle of bodybuilding and is essential to accelerate muscle growth.

The one most important factor for accelerating muscle growth is progressively increasing the load on your muscles or the repetitions you do every week.

Let me stress, the only way to accelerate muscle growth is to systematically and continuously up the intensity of your bodybuilding exercise routine.

That’s because when your body adapts to stress and changes in environment, your muscles grow.

If the environment remains the same, you body won’t need to adapt; it’s a simple fact.

For example, performing seven reps of squats with 200 pound weight over a three month period won’t do much for your muscle gains.

You need to build strength to accelerate muscle growth.

Only when you target strength gain, during every exercise, will you see an appreciable increase in muscle size.

You might say this is the universal law of muscle growth, and you can apply it to whatever approach you use.

Weight lifters, who don’t understand this basic law, keep on lifting the same weight, not meeting their aims and getting frustrated.

All they’re doing is wasting time, and not seeing results.

Since they don’t work on strength building, all their efforts to accelerate muscle growth are in vain.

Conversely, those who increase the load on their muscles progressively, quite successfully accelerate muscle growth.

The core of your training routine should be small but continuous increases in the weight you lift and the repetitions you do.

This will increase the size and strength of your muscles.

If you don’t give your body a challenge, you won’t give it any incentive to make your muscles grow.

Therefore, there is no progression without growth.

Only when you progressively overload your body will you be able to accelerate muscle growth.

The most effective way to implement a progressive strategy into your workout is to keep a training diary.

Keep a record of all exercises you do, how much you lift, and the repetitions.

Knowing how you performed during your last workout will help you knuckle down, and make improvements during the current workout.

Using your training diary to write down your goals is also a good idea.

Writing down your goals means that you take responsibility for meeting them yourself.

These records also motivate you, as they help you track your progress.

It may not seem like much that you lifted five more pounds this week, but when you can look at many months of progress, you’ll be stunned with how much more you’re lifting and the number of repetitions; moreover, you’ll see how the regular increases have let you accelerate muscle growth.
