Summary
You've been strength training for six months. Maybe a year. You're showing up, you're consistent. But your body looks exactly the same. Your arms are still soft. Your legs aren't growing. You're not losing inches. And you're frustrated because you're doing the work—so why aren't you seeing results? If you've been using the same 10-pound dumbbells for months (or years), your body adapted a long time ago. It has zero reason to change. In this episode, I'm breaking down what progressive overload actually means, four ways to challenge your muscles without buying new equipment, and how to know when you're ready to go heavier. This isn't about being reckless—it's about stopping yourself from being your own limit. You're stronger than you think. Time to prove it. -Rachel Next Steps: Book a free discovery call to chat with me about my Fat Loss Formula for Moms coaching program.
