Georgia Personal Training Progressive Overload Training
Pushing yourself is a proven characteristic for those that meet and exceed goals. No matter what that endeavor in life is. It can be sports related, academic related or personal growth related. One of the concepts taught by the highly skilled personal trainers at Georgia Personal Training is the concept of Progressive Overload. To clarify, this in essence is the practice of continually pushing and challenging your body to do a little more each time you work out.
When you join the GPT team as a client, you will receive the best elite coaching available. Most importantly, you will notice results and accomplishments that will surprise you. Below our owners and professional trainers explain the concept of Progressive Overload Training.
The Principle of Progressive Overload
The Progressive Overload Principle states that in order for muscle to grow, the human body must be forced to go beyond the previous stress experienced. That is to say, the muscle will only grow if you force it to grow. Furthermore, the body will only get stronger if you force it to get stronger. Most importantly, you have to expose the body to a level of training intensity and stress that it has never experienced, and the body will be forced to adapt to this stress over time. As the body adapts, or gets stronger and stronger, the training intensity must continuously be increased to keep this adaptation process occurring.
The majority of people are not aware of, or do not understand this principle. Consequently, many people that have been strength training for years, show little to no visible improvements in either strength or physique. It is human nature to gravitate to what’s comfortable. Everyone wants a basic routine, with a simple set and rep structure that’s easy to follow and replicate over and over (3 sets of 10, 5 sets of 8, etc.). Everyone wants to stick to lighter weights they can comfortably handle so they do not get “too bulky”. It is an incorrect approach caused by a total lack of understanding of the human body and how it responds to physical training.
Georgia Personal Training Testimonial
Above all, for any business owner, there is no higher praise than from a satisfied customer. Georgia Personal Training enjoys receiving comments from clients that are happy with results. We also like to share those on our home website to help others understand our commitment to being elite trainers. Below is one customer testimonial from the mother of one young Georgia Personal Training client.
Matt Lein has been working with my 14-year-old son for about six months. We think the world of him. My son, Chris, has been very satisfied with the results he is seeing from his training sessions and really enjoys training with Matt. Chris has learned a lot about nutrition, discipline and proper training techniques. He is always eager to hit the gym on his own in between his training sessions.
I feel one of Matt’s strengths as a personal trainer is listening to a client’s goals and creating a plan that tailors to his/her specific needs. He knows how and when to help a client push himself to make progress, he is goal oriented and really helps clients realize their own personal success. I feel the focus and discipline Chris learns in his sessions with Matt can also be applied to schoolwork, there are no short cuts in life, success is there if you train your body and mind to obtain it. We highly recommend training with Matt, excellent trainer.
