"Strength training workouts cause adaptations, if they have worked as intended.

The adaptations that we achieve after a good workout improve our ability to exert force, either in terms of maximal strength (increased weight with a given number of reps) or repetition strength (increased number of reps with a weight).

By implementing an increase in the number of reps or weight in our next workout, we match our improved capacity for performance with an increased requirement. This is called progressive overload.

Progressive overload allows our high-threshold motor units to be recruited in our next workout despite our greater strength. Also, when progressive overload is achieved, we know that our training program is working, since it indicates that adaptations must have happened.

In contrast, increases in training volume (number of sets from one workout to the next) do not provide the same information, since we can achieve increases in volume without adaptations happening."
