So, using the example of progressive overload in bodybuilding, the mistake I used to make is I used to switch up my exercises every workout. The problem with this is that you never make much progress in any one exercise. So taking the bench press, for example, I might have the strength in my muscles to lift 135 pounds for 10 reps, but if I'm doing pushups the next week, then dumbbell bench press, then dips the next week, by the time I come back to bench press, I will have lost the bodily adaptation to do the exercise. I will still have the strength. In fact I might be stronger than before. But I will encounter a lot of soreness the next morning following the workout, whereas if I had been doing bench press everyday, I would experience no soreness. An explanation could be that smaller stabilizing muscles were not used in the other exercises, despite all the exercises targeting the pectoral muscles.
Are you trolling? Because apparently you have no idea about bodybuilding.
Switching up exercises is not a mistake at all, you must do lots of different exercises on the same muscle with good form in order to target that muscle from all angles and develop that muscle fully rather then in one area because only doing 1 exercise will lead to plateau
"A body plateau refers to a period of time in which your body no longer responds to your fitness or diet routine. Plateaus often occur as an abrupt halt to progress that had previously been results in weight loss or muscle gain. Plateaus are the results of your body's impressive ability to adjust to stress and change."

There are many articles online about plateau, surprised you don't understand the concept.

chess is the same as bodybuilding in the sense that no one agrees on anything when it comes to methods and how to make progress and only people with good genetics actually get anywhere significant
