3 Rules For Strength Training
Strength training is such an incredible accomplishment. When you come right down to it, nobody is really making use of their muscles to the maximum. Since every man is only capable of firing on “4 cylinders” but then they act as if with a “V8 engine” (their muscular structure).
And for safety measures, your body truly keeps you from utilizing the entire strength of your muscles. For the most part, your strength does not go above 30% of your tendon structural strength. Let’s say, when people are electricuted their muscles tighten a lot so hard to the extent that they even crack their bone structures.
If you will just go along with these three rules for extreme strength training, hence, you can turn out to be VERY MUCH stronger by learning how to “fire” more of your muscles and get them to contract harder with more pressure:
First Rule: Concentrate On A Limited Full Body Exercises
Simply concentrate on a small amount of full body exercises. You have to train it entirely as a single unit in order for your whole body to be strong. And also, you gain optimum hormone stimulation by training your entire body this way. Best workouts are Squats, Deadlifts, Overhead Press, and the Bench Press.
Rule #2: Focus on High Resistance
To build strength your lifts must be done with high resistance. This is done by lifting heavy weights (or doing bodyweight exercises with unfavorable weight distribution and poor leverage) and by maximally contracting (tensing) your muscles as you lift.
The idea is to recruit more muscle fibers by:
1. Tightening up every muscle as firmly as possible during the course of the workout and…
2. While keeping high tension lifting the weight as fast as possible.
Third Rule: Concentrate on Multiple Sets of Low Reps
Because strength is a skill you can’t practice “sloppily”. Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. So you must practice being strong. Each rep must be done as perfectly as possible (according to the above guidelines). Keep the reps low so you can stay mentally focused. Also, this will keep you from getting fatigued and getting sloppy. Avoid muscle failure.
Therefore, lift heavy things as possible. While keeping fresh as possible.
