Great article Robert, it sparked a couple of questions. 1) whats the mechanism for a 1Rep Max, say someone finished NLP adding just 1 lb to their DL, they're at 500 for 1x5, then a few days later they can pull a single 550 say, without having had to train up through 505, 510, 520 etc 2) should the term be progressive loading instead of overloading, ie progressive takes care of the increasing nature. Overload sounds like your doing something excessive when your just doing what the system should be able to handle given the training to that point.
