Progressively overloading through your working sets

Over the last few months I've had many conversations with clients and potential clients where their previous training was typically 3 sets of 15 reps where weight was held constant for the entire workout. This may be more common than I had thought, or maybe it's just because I've never trained that way. I've always started with a lower resistance for maybe 12 reps, then started to drop reps and add weight with each progressing set. Something like a 12x10x8x6 rep scheme over 4 working sets, while bumping up resistance each set to challenge the new rep demand. So for this episode, I wanted to dive into the many things you can take advantage, both physiologically and mentally, by dropping reps and adding weight with each set compared to the prior. I think this could be a game changer for you if this is new to you :) Hit me up on IG @dr.nicktrubee or visit trubeehealth.com for more ways to connect and work with me.
