Progressive overload means gradually increasing training demands in a way that fits your goal and capacity. You might change load, repetitions, sets, or execution quality. You do not need to add weight every session.
What to record
Log exercises, sets, reps, load, and perceived effort. Comparing multiple sessions helps you spot trends. One difficult day alone does not prove that your whole plan needs to change.
How GymRat+ helps
GymRat+ lets you record workouts and review history. Kyro can generate suggestions using data you share; review them before acting. The app does not automatically measure rep speed or calculate a universal injury-risk threshold.
The ACSM resistance-training guidance summarizes evidence for healthy adults and emphasizes consistency and matching a plan to its goal. If you have pain, an injury, or a medical condition, consult a qualified professional.
Put this into practice
