Starr Weight Training Gym

If your workouts feel comfortable every single week — that’s the problem. 📉

Progressive overload is the foundation of all strength gains. It simply means gradually increasing the demand on your muscles over time ..more weight, more reps, shorter rest, or better form.

Your body adapts to stress efficiently. Once it adapts, it stops changing. There are few ways to push past that adaptation plateau.

Three ways to apply it this week:
✔️ Add 5 lbs to your main lift
✔️ Add one extra rep per set
✔️ Reduce rest time by 15 seconds

We’ve posted QR codes on some of the machines in our gym that direct you to our own voice-over video tutorials. They provide some assistance in how to properly use the machine, inform users which muscles are being targeted, and a few extra tips of technique to get the most out of the machine.

We hope this gives you guys a little more value out of your time here. As always, we are here to help answer any questions! Happy lifting!

Don’t neglect the backside - this can actually help build balanced & fuller shoulders. In addition, it can also help support bigger lifts when doing rows, pull-ups, and even pressing movements .

Everyone’s got a why for coming to the gym.
Different goals, but the mission is the mission: show up and get better. Be better 🤙🏼
