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'.
If you are unsure which is a better method - it is both. They have advantages and disadvantages and the best approach is to take the parts which works for you and integrate it into your regimen. Always keep in mind though that you will need to vary the exercises and weight loads often because your body remembers the pain you subjected it to and it will prepare for it. When it becomes familiar and complacent, the workout will not be as effective as before.
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 a bodybuilder's diet, the best muscle building food are those that are rich in protein and carbohydrates. This means include a lot of lean meat and whole grains in your meals. As much as you are able, do not eat a lot of food high in fat to complete your calorie quota for the day. Instead, consider consuming protein shakes and recommended muscle building supplements to fill in the needed nutrients.
Never forget to warm up and stretch before you start your workout session. What this does is lay the foundation for your exercise; preparing your body to perform at its best by stimulating the blood flow to vital organs, raising your body temperature and increasing flexibility. Make it a practice to stretch even between sets and as you cool down after your training.
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 successful weight training program will not make itself known overnight. Sometimes you gets hits and misses but you will find your own rhythm soon enough. The important thing is that you are making an effort to get to your goals and your reward will not be long in coming if you keep at it no matter what.
