Key takeaways:

• The Principle of Progressive Overload is a fundamental concept in exercise science that states that in order to improve physical fitness, strength, and performance, a gradual increase in the intensity, frequency, and/or duration of an exercise must be applied over time.
• The S.A.I.D Principle suggests that the body will adapt to the specific demands placed upon it during exercise or training.
• To make progress, focus on doing more of the thing you want to improve.
• Exercise selection is important and should be based on Bang For Your Buck Exercises, Weak Points, and Limitations Due to Injuries.
• Compound movements are exercises that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously and are great for hitting more than one muscle group in a set.
• Focusing on weak points can help you improve overall strength and hit higher volume numbers with the same exercises.
• When selecting exercises, consider any limitations due to injuries.
