Final answer:
False. Strength gains require continually increasing the intensity of the exercise to challenge the muscles and promote adaptation.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. Any degree of overload will not result in strength gains. For effective strength training, the intensity of the exercise must continually be increased. Continued weight lifting without increasing the weight of the load does not increase muscle size. To produce ever-greater results, the weights lifted must become increasingly heavier, making it more difficult for muscles to move the load. The muscle then adapts to this heavier load, and an even heavier load must be used if even greater muscle mass is desired.
