Progression, which is what we started to talk about, this progressive overload, are you increasing by weight, or reps, or rest intervals, or complexity, or whatever. So all of those things can be changed as a method of progression.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So progressive overload can come in the form of any of the modifiable variables. So you could increase the complexity of the movement. You could increase the intensity or the load. You can increase the volume by either more sets, more reps, or more total exercises in a day.
This could come from adding more weights. This could come from adding more repetitions. It could come from doing it more often in the week. It could come from adding complexity to the movement. So, there's a lot of different ways to progress, but you have to have some sort of movement forward.
one of the important uh principles of training is a principle that most people have heard of called Progressive overload so in one way or another the training the load the the ask needs to get more complicated needs to get more difficult
