Progressive overload is the principle of gradually increasing the demand on a muscle over time — by adding weight, reps, or control — so that adaptation continues. As the body adapts to a stimulus, the stimulus must increase to keep driving progress.

In High-Intensity Training, overload is earned by performance: when you hit the top of your target rep range at a given weight, the next weight is earned. Failure Point calculates this from your logged sets so the increase is objective, not guessed. See how it's calculated →
