3 Tips For Training Less & Seeing More Results With Your Bodybuilding
Sometimes less really is more.
And in the case of bodybuilding, this is statement is definitely true.
By spending less time in the weight room, you will actually grow stronger and bigger.
When you workout, you break down the muscle tissue in your body.
When you sleep, you give your muscles time to repair itself and grow larger.
So if you can give your body the necessary recovery time it needs to grow bigger, then the muscle growth process will occur and you will gain more bulk.
When working out in the weight room, your goal should be to workout with the minimum amount of force needed to trigger the muscle growth process.
Once you've maxed out your set to the point that you can't do another rep, it's time to stop and take a short rest.
Any more stress to your muscles will boost the time it takes for them to heal, and will hamper your weight lifting results.
If you're like more people, then you probably train too often - and more than you need to.
A long and intense workout session is more stressful to your body than you think.
Here are 3 tips you should follow if you want to achieve the most gains as possible: 1) Workout only 3 times a week Most people if they could would workout for 7 days a week, but this is just foolish.
You only want to workout 3 times a week so that you can give your muscles adequate time to heal and grow.
Your muscles will grow and repair themselves while you sleep, so with enough days rest, you'll see gains faster than if you worked-out 5 times a week.
2) Workout for only 30 minutes You only want to workout for 30 minutes a day because anything more than this will limit your gains.
Remember, less is more when it comes to bodybuilding, so 1 hour workout sessions are more than you need to do while working out.
If you're exercising for more than 30 minutes, that means that you're probably over exercising a particular muscle group - brings me to my last point.
3) Do 3 sets for large muscle groups; and 2 sets for smaller muscle groups For your thighs, back and chest muscle groups, do only 3 sets a piece and for your biceps, calves, abs and shoulders do only 2 sets a piece.
You want to reach a goal of 8-12 reps per set, so adjust your weight properly to allow you to reach these goals.
You never want to do more than you have to in the weight room, so 3 sets for your larger groups and 2 sets for your smaller groups is good.
As I stated above, you want to max out your sets until you can't do anymore, and focus on getting the most from each set.
You never want to do more than you have to because this is the surest way to hurt yourself in the weight room.
