## Resource

Progressive overload matters and is a necessity in making gains in strength training, but sometimes it gets treated like the only sign that your training is working. But some of the most important adaptations don't come from doing more and more. They come from doing the same thing, over and over, for longer than you'd expect. In this episode, I'm breaking down when repetition is actually the point, why "not progressing" often isn't always the problem you think it is, and how to tell the difference between spinning your wheels and building something that just takes time. 1:1 Consult: https://jenhosler.com/monthly-coaching/ Movement School Waitlist: https://jenhosler.com/movement-school/
