How To Gradually Increase The Load Of Resistance Training

When it comes to resistance training, there's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to increasing the load. Every individual is different and will respond differently to increases in difficulty. However, there are a few general recommendations that can help guide you on your journey.

In general, it's recommended that you increase the load of your resistance training every 2-3 weeks. This will give you time to adjust and challenge yourself with new weight amounts. It's important to monitor how your body feels during this process - if something feels too easy or too heavy, it's time to adjust the weights accordingly. Of course, rest days in between workouts are essential for allowing your muscles time to rebuild and prevent injury.

Overall, take your time and enjoy the process of gradually increasing the weight you lift for resistance training - progress happens with patience and determination!
