Well, tonight was one of those nights. There was a last minute change to the program which my body was not prepared for. I did my best which was NOT great tonight :( BUT I did most of the auxiliary work after the 4 mat Max Deadlift Pull. All in all, I was not having a great day but got through it!
Week 5 Deadlift - Cube/Progressive Overload Hybrid
Progressive overload is the gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training.
A common goal for strength-training programs is to increase or to maintain one's physical strength or muscle mass. In order to achieve more strength as opposed to maintaining the current strength capacity, the muscles (see skeletal muscles) need to be overloaded which stimulates the natural, adaptive processes of the body which develops to cope with the new demands placed on it.
Progressive overload not only stimulates muscle hypertrophy, but it also stimulates the development of stronger and denser bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Progressive overload also incrementally increases blood flow to exercised regions of the body and stimulates more responsive nerve connections between the brain and the muscles involved.
