My apologies if there’s a better place to post this, but just a general observation.
Fascinating discussion on the latest podcast about progressive overload. Being a teacher, I find that we apply this problematic logic to our low performing students. They fall behind according to the chronological timeline determined appropriate for all individuals, and instead of adjusting their program to trigger an adaptation we increase the load anyhow and provide them accommodations so they can “make gainzzz”. But are they really “stronger” or did we just increase the weight?
BBM from bedside to the classroom…
I think there are likely a lot of similar situations where we confound a demonstrable performance improvement with a harder effort.
