3 Strength Training Principles
Power comes from strength training. At the end of the day, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is walking around with a “V8 engine” (their muscle system) though barely firing on “4 cylinders” – not even a single person is truly utilizing their muscles to the extreme.
In fact, your body keeps you from making use of all the strength of your muscles, for protection. Your strength normally does not go beyond 30% of your tendon structural strength. For example, when people are electricuted their muscles regularly contract so hard as much as they fracture their bone structures.
If you will just go along with these three rules for extreme strength training, hence, you can turn out to be VERY MUCH stronger by learning how to “fire” more of your muscles and get them to contract harder with more pressure:
Rule #1: Focus On A Few Full Body Exercises
If you want your entire body to be on top form, just give attention to a limited full body exercises. Therefore, you should do it all as one unit. As well as you will find ideal hormone stimulation by training your whole body by way of this. Squats, Deadlifts, Overhead Press, and the Bench Press are perfect.
Second Rule: Give Attention To High Resistance
To create strength your lifts have to be made with great resistance. This is achieved by lifting heavy weights (or performing bodyweight exercises with unfavorable weight distribution and poor control) and by greatly contracting (tensing) your muscles as you lift.
The purpose is to gain extra muscle fibers by:
1. Pressuring each muscle as hard as possible during the exercise and…
2. During which, maintain intense pressure by lifting the weight as hasty as possible.
Third Rule: Concentrate on Multiple Sets of Low Reps
Because strength is a skill you can’t practice “sloppily”. Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. So you must practice being strong. Each rep must be done as perfectly as possible (according to the above guidelines). Keep the reps low so you can stay mentally focused. Also, this will keep you from getting fatigued and getting sloppy. Avoid muscle failure.
Therefore, lift heavy things as possible. While keeping fresh as possible.
