It is not my opinion that progressive overload and progressive volume load are 2 different things.It quite literally does. Your not responding to anyone's quite rationale posts with anything other than stating your opinion over and over. While I don't agree with everything the NSCA is quite clear volume is a tangible factor that can be contorted to achieve progressive overload.
It is quite literally, not hypothetically, literally what is taught to every strength coach in the united states.
Is it possible we are just talking about two different things?
Where you are getting that volume is not a variable that can be used for progressive overload because I've got a stack of textbooks that state otherwise and a whole bunch of real world practice that agrees.
Volume load can be used as a way to track progression sure.
But adding sets does not increase the load on the muscle.
Progressive overload allows us to keep the stimulus on the muscle (mechanical tension) the same from workout to workout.
I’m not sure what the confusion is.
Do I need to reexplain what mechanical tension is?
