Train Less And Develop Big Muscles

January 2, 2009



Training with the wrong frequency is a common mistake made by bodybuilders. This results in long training plateaus and frustration that slows the motivation level. By frequency we mean the number of days in a week, weightlifting workout is performed. Generally, the most common frequency is 3 days per week workout. With precious workout you can do much better than the 3 day frequency.

Reasons why weight frequency is needed:-

Fixed training results can never produce good results, the reason being the harder you exercise, the more time your body requires to recover from it. When ever you work out, your body gets damaged and it needs time to recover from it before your next workout. Body organs like liver, kidney and pancreas, demand recovering after a physical activity. These organs recover at a much slower speed than the muscles.

When your workout is light, your body doesn’t takes much time to recover, while a heavy workout involving weights and high intensity, can take days for full recovery.

Never split up your routine:-

It is a common practice, in the gym to split the workouts, in a manner like, Monday for upper body, Wednesday for the lower body and Friday for the limbs. The fact is, all this distribution of the body parts won’t make the slightest difference to your kidneys. Always remember that until and unless your body fully recovers, your muscles will never grow.

The stronger you get and the heavier weights you hoist, your kidneys will need more time to recover.

3 quick overtraining measures:-

1- If the weight used in each exercise do not increase, that means you haven’t recovered yet. Progressive overload is the key to strength training. It means that you should lift slightly heavier weights than before.

2- If the number of static hold time did not increase, again because of your body’s recovery.

3- If it takes you to do the same workout in more time. Intensity of the muscle output results in progress. Lower intensity can never produce new muscles.

When you understand how to adjust your personal training frequency, you will get great results. To find your optimum training frequency, monitor the progress or slow progress you make during each exercise and workout.
