Strength training: how to apply progressive overload with minimal equipment

Strength gains don't require a fully equipped gym. This highly interactive, 90% practical session will show you how to effectively apply the principles of progressive overload using minimal equipment in both rehabilitation and performance settings. You'll learn what progressive overload is, why it's essential for strength and hypertrophy, and how patient response—not just the exercise prescription—should guide your clinical decision-making. Through live demonstrations and hands-on practice, you'll explore exercises that can be easily progressed or regressed, helping you confidently adapt training to the individual in front of you. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer understanding of strength training dosage, practical progression strategies, and simple ways to challenge patients with limited resources. Expect plenty of movement, discussion, and real-world application in a fun and engaging learning environment.
