G’day, today we’re talking about the Power of Progressive Overload… 

Hopefully, you’ve landed here from one of my social media posts…

Because for the last weeks months, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to reach out to more guys our age to help them with their health & fitness goals.

So, if you have any male friends, colleagues or family members in the 40-60 age group, who need to kickstart their health and fitness quest, please share this article.

Alright, let’s get real. 

If you want to see those gains you’ve been dreaming about, you need to understand the key to making it happen: progressive overload

This is the secret sauce, the magic ingredient that separates the fast achievers from the rest…

The guys who build muscle, cut fat, improve endurance, flexibility and mobility as if they were 20 again.

And this post is closely linked to my series on hypertrophy, and you can find the Introduction to Hypertrophy For Men Over 40 HERE.

What is Progressive Overload?

So, what’s the deal with progressive overload? 

In essence, it’s all about consistently challenging your muscles to do more over time. 

Think of it like levelling up in a video game. 

You start with the basics, getting your tendons, ligaments and muscles primed…

But as you get stronger and more skilled, you take on bigger challenges to keep growing.

Ways to Apply Progressive Overload

There are plenty of ways to apply progressive overload to your workouts…

  • Increase the resistance – Slap on some extra plates and watch those muscles grow.
  • Rep it out – Squeeze out a few more reps each session to push your limits.
  • Amp up the volume – More sets, more gains. It’s simple math.
  • Increase your ROM – Take your muscles through a greater range of motion for maximum growth.
  • Cut the rest – Shorten your rest periods to keep the intensity high and the gains coming.

The beauty of progressive overload is that it keeps your muscles guessing. They never get too comfortable because you’re always demanding more from them. 

Without that constant challenge, your gains will stall faster than a 30-year-old Datsun on the side of the road.

The Problem with Average Gym-Goers

But here’s the thing…most gym-goers don’t have a clue about progressive overload. 

They show up, go through the motions, and wonder why they don’t look any different after months or even years of grinding through expensive gym memberships.

They might have fun with the social aspect of gyms…

But if you’re anything like me, you want maximum results, in the shortest amount of time…

And the least amount of effort. 

It’s like trying to build a house without a blueprint – you might make some progress, but it’ll be slow, frustrating, and inefficient. And lead to heaps of problems further down the line.

The GTW Difference

That’s where GTW comes in. We don’t just talk about progressive overload – we live and breathe it. It’s baked into every GTW Level, every workout, every exercise, and every rep. 

We make sure all GTW Tribe Members understand how to apply this powerful principle to their training, so they can keep making progress through all the 7 GTW Levels, and long after most people have plateaued.

The GTW Progress Tracking System

But we take things a huge step further with our GTW Progress Tracking System

This is like having a personal trainer in your pocket, keeping tabs on your every move and making sure you’re always pushing yourself to the limit. 

It’s like a cheat code for gains.

Imagine being able to see, in real-time, exactly how much stronger you’re getting. Every extra rep, every additional pound, every drop of sweat – it’s all right there in front of you. 

Talk about supreme motivation! 

When you can see the fruits of your labour, it’s like pouring rocket fuel on your dedication.

The Power of Progressive Overload

Now, compare that to the average joe who wanders into their high-street gym without a plan. 

Sure, they might make some newbie gains at first, but sooner or later, they’ll hit a wall. 

They’ll wonder why their bench press hasn’t budged in months, or why their biceps look the same as they did last year. 

That’s the power of progressive overload – or in their case, the lack thereof.

At GTW, we refuse to let our members fall into that trap. We arm them with the knowledge, the tools, and the support to keep making gains, month after month, year after year. 

Progressive overload is the foundation of everything we do, and it shows in the incredible transformations our members achieve.
