Protein is an imperative component in helping to repair and rebuild muscle.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ You lift weights, which creates micro-tears in your muscle fibers.
2️⃣ Your body relies on a combination of rest and protein to repair and rebuild said muscle fibers.
3️⃣ Your muscle fibers repair and rebuild thicker and stronger than they were before.
4️⃣ Since your muscles are now stronger, they require more stress to continue to grow.
➡️ The act of putting more stress on your muscles is called progressive overload, and it can be achieved by:
▪️picking up heavier weights
▪️slowing down the tempo of each rep
▪️increasing range of motion
▪️adding in more reps and sets
▪️increasing the frequency of your workouts
✅ You know you are successfully applying progressive overload when the last few reps of every set get hard. And I mean HARD.
You start to lose your ability to maintain good form. You slow down. You struggle to complete the last rep or two.
❌ Without this progressive and strategic component, all the protein you’ve consumed won’t have much to repair and rebuild.
