Progressive Overload is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Biology, and what stands beside it today.
The line it carries on the sky: Adaptation follows a load slightly beyond what the body could last do.
What stands beside it
The stars nearest to it are Allostasis, Deliberate Practice, Flow and Gall's Law, and Flow is already open to walk. When Progressive Overload opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.
Ask for this star
Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Progressive Overload and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
