To understand how the principle of overload is first necessary to understand the mechanism of super compensation quote so that the body protects the area is under constant friction and pressure not only noticing, but also developing a thicker skin and stronger for that area is not damaged again, the thick, tough skin is what we call corn, then the greater is the stimulus applied, the greater the reaction of the body (super compensation) and consequently the greater the callus produced.
In physical training nature super compensate caused stress giving muscle bulk and strength, however, that overcompensation occurs when the body is subjected to an effort which is not used and that fact regularly will make that body “wake up” the muscle fibers that were not being used before, to then give more thick and resistant.
This is the principle of overload, if you’re always stressing the muscles they are more familiar and thus will react to the muscles giving more support to this growing effort.
- Then, if you are lifting 80kg in the press for example, after a time the body will get used to the stress and will not be taken as more muscle gain that had been given and not let this happen should be increased some of the burden by forcing the muscles to experience this new stimulus, and they give back this adaptation to a higher volume over time.
