The Science Behind Strength Development
When you step into Core Progression – Lakewood at 9600 W. Jewell Ave., you’re not just entering another gym – you’re stepping into a facility where scientific principles drive results. One of the most fundamental concepts we implement in our progressive training programs is progressive overload, a systematic approach to building strength and endurance.
What is Progressive Overload?
Progressive overload involves gradually increasing the stress placed on the musculoskeletal system to stimulate continuous adaptation. At Core Progression, our certified trainers implement this principle through various methods:
- Increasing resistance (weight)
- Adding repetitions
- Modifying tempo
- Decreasing rest periods
- Increasing movement complexity
Implementation in Personal Training

- Individual recovery capacity
- Current fitness level
- Specific goals

Progressive overload isn’t just about increasing weights. Our degree-certified trainers understand that proper recovery is crucial for adaptation. We help clients optimize their recovery through:
- Strategic deload weeks
