If you ask me what makes a great weight training program, I will have to tell you that equally as important as the drills that comprise it, are the factors that undergird it. Read on to learn more about helpful information to arm you as you go to the gym and execute the best muscle building exercises for the great body you've always wanted to have.
The two main methods in weight training are the high intensity and the periodization. High intensity trainings are extremely intense workout sessions that are relatively short. This will require you to push your body's maximum tolerance every time. Periodization on the other hand takes longer as light, medium then heavy training each lasts around 3 weeks each for each phase. The concentration of periodization is the collective gain for each individual as opposed to per session tallying of 'points'.
The better method if the two is that which is most beneficial for you. This means practice what your body responds best to. Usually it is an integration of both. Only keep in mind that you need to change the drills every few weeks. This is because your body remembers the trauma you have put upon it; and when it conditions itself to anticipate your next move, training will not be as productive as it was. Constantly challenge yourself by using different weights and exercises often.
Apart from weight training, rest and diet are the other factors that make a successful bodybuilding regimen. There is a tendency to put the latter pair in the back burner and trivialize their importance; but understand that all three are vital for your fitness goals. For instance, did you know that when you exercise, you are putting tears in your muscle? Rest is what mends them and builds them up to be stronger and bigger than when you started. That is why if you train 4 times a week, use the rest of the week getting good sleep and a proper diet.
For the best muscle building diet, consume food that are rich in protein and carbohydrates. This will fuel your workout sessions and give your body the nutrients it needs as you put yourself through grueling activities. Your calories should come from lean meat, fish, eggs and the like instead of food high in fat content. Also include protein shakes and recommended muscle supplements that will help your body.
Also, make time for a thorough stretching before training. Warm ups and stretching can spell the difference between a good workout session from a great one. Doing these increases your body temperature and blood flow, as well as enhances the body's flexibility - ensuring your body's optimal performance. Practice stretching also between sets.
When you are building muscle and bulking up, aerobic training that serve to burn calories should be limited to a couple of hours a week. However, this is not to mean to take this away from your regimen altogether. Cardiovascular workouts are essential for your heart's health. As you near your ideal weight, increase the frequency and minutes of aerobic training for maintenance.
A perfect weight training program is the holy grail of all bodybuilders and professional trainers alike - much desired but few take the effort to see it through. And while mistakes may litter the path to the amazing physique of your dreams, with determination and persistence it will not fail to come.
