How does progressive overload work in strength training?

25 Eyl 17:45

I'm trying to grasp the principle of progressive overload in resistance training. How exactly does increasing load, volume, or intensity translate to strength gains over time? Are there optimal ways to periodize these variables for both novices and advanced lifters? What pitfalls should we watch out for to avoid plateaus or injury? Would love to hear your explanations and practical tips.
