About this listen
Progressive overload is one of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness — and it’s the reason many people train hard without seeing results.
In Episode 113 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel break down what progressive overload actually means, how to apply it correctly, and why randomly pushing harder every workout often leads to burnout or injury instead of progress.
They cover why having a structured training plan matters, how to track progress intelligently, and how accumulation and intensification phases work together to build real strength over time. Brad also shares real-world examples from coaching clients and training his son, showing how smart programming — not just effort — creates results.
This episode also digs into the overlooked role of recovery, balance, and lifestyle stress, and how they directly impact your ability to progress in the gym.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, sore all the time, or confused about how much weight, volume, or intensity you should be using — this episode will clear it up.
🎧 Train smarter. Recover better. Progress consistently.
