Training Principles

October 14, 2009


The immense majority of persons who starts exercising with weights do so, with an intention to amplify their current mass of muscles. It is an undeniable fact that muscle growth is a sluggish process but as commonly believed, it doesn’t has to be very slow, as long as an individual trains appropriately.

The harder a person trains, the sooner his body overcompensates in the form of added muscle mass, but  in addition with hard training body needs comparatively more rest to perform renovations in physical appearance.

Once a bodybuilder reaches intermediate phase of training, he should reduce frequency of training to facilitate enough time for body to yield the outcome that is stimulated by training sessions. Given below are some easy-to-follow rules that aid a bodybuilder to attain guaranteed success.

Limited Training – Never indulge in training sessions for more than three days during a week.

Awareness – It is imperative to gain maximum knowledge about the exercise you are going to participate in. Avoid using wrong postures or techniques to pull or lift weights as it can cause severe injuries. Always concentrate while performing sets to feel the contractions in muscles.

Never Cheat – Be aware that there is no shortcut to build attractive muscles. Never opt for body swing or momentum movements to complete a difficult set. This sort of movements reduces involvement of muscular motion in exercise which further leads to reduced outcome of training.

Training Days – Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are considered as best for bodybuilding. It is recommended that you should not indulge in any sort of heavy activities on off days as this would reduce the body’s capability to recover from exhaustive after effects of intense training sessions.

In case, a person misses out a training day then he should not try to overdo the set or reps on the following day. It is evident that more rest you give to body the more it will gain.

Keep Control – It is essential to keep control of body movements while training to make certain that each muscle group active in training is fully functional and the momentum is not involved at all.

Always lift weight after holding it for at least two seconds and then hold it for two seconds after completing a movement prior for returning to original posture.
