M6:D22 (D500) Keys to Growth: Progression

March 8, 2009 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

  

What's on my mind today?

Yesterday I discussed intensity as a key to growth.  Today we will discuss progression and its importance as a key to growth.

As you workout you will find the need to use progression in your program.  Progression comes in the form of either increased repetitions or increased weight being moved.  The fact is that your muscles get used to the amount of volume you subject them to.  Progression is a way to insure that you continue to challenge your muscles.

Another form of progressions is time under tension for the muscle.  This is one of the key concepts of the slow repetition.  You increase the time under tension to push your muscles harder.  This, in turn, causes growth to happen.

Progression is a very important principle and must not be forgotten.  Properly used, progression will cause growth.  You will see it sooner than later.
