    The document discusses the principle of overload in training. It explains that the body will become stronger if increased demands are placed on it through exercise. It provides the example of Milo of Crotona, a Greek athlete who lifted a calf daily until it became a full grown bull, demonstrating the overload principle. The document also introduces the FITT acronym, which stands for frequency, intensity, time, and type, as variables to consider for overload training. It notes that progression is needed over time to continue improvement, and that progress should be made slowly to allow the body to adapt without injury. Specificity is also covered, meaning different exercises target specific body parts or fitness components.
