Regulate The Training Duration Of Your Routine
Training duration in weight exercises determines whether you gain muscles or loose them while in the gym. That simple, and yet that serious.
What matters during a weight training session, whether for the beginner or the most advanced body builder, is the quality of training not the length. You must ensure you achieve optimal intensity levels within an hour or less and then get out of the gym. If you stay there for longer, catabolism processes will begin and you will start digesting your proteins and then your muscle tissues for energy. The lactic energy build up in the muscles during weight exercises is controlled to an optimal point where muscles function well within the hour. However, if the muscles are pushed beyond this time limit, the build up gets to abnormal rates, during which exercises delimit growth rather that stimulate it.
When done correctly, a session of resistance training exercises can reach optimal intensity within forty five minutes at the minimum. All the exercises planned for the workout routine in that session should be broken down and timed to reach the optimal intensity within the duration of 45 to 60 minutes by incorporating such set and rep tallies as can attain maximal intensity during that duration. While determining the number of sets to do for every exercise, you should remember that the fourth and fifth sets are usually useless, since the muscles have been stimulated adequately by the third set.
Prescribe your sets and their respective rep ranges not forgetting the inter-set rest durations in such a way that the entire resistant training should be completed within the hour. Sessions lasting beyond an hour only indicate that the body builder is not training right, is wasting a lot of time in the gym talking and loitering or is not using the right poundage-sets-reps notation, to achieve optimal training intensity.
A marathon training of multiple hours, for several sessions in a day is a crazy way of killing the body. Hard core trainers adapt to such training routines only under anabolic steroids, influence and soon or later, they pay for abusing the body. Stop lazing around the gym waiting for colleagues to finish with a barbell, go to the next exercises. Stop taking to friends while hugging weights, wait until you get done. Gyms are not social paces, keep interaction outside. Manage the gym time to ensure that each minute of the one hour goes into stimulating muscle growth, and when that is done, go home, rest and recover.
Remember that you can stay in the gym for hours and do little in terms of gaining mass or strength. Remember that a guy can come in the gym, leave you there, and still bulk up faster and bigger than you do, after a while. Remember that staying under those weights for long is not just ruining your muscles through catabolism, but also courting injuries. Remember that it is quality, the intensity you achieve, not the quantity of training that matters. Finally, remember that muscles grown while resting not while training. So stimulate the growth, go rest and let the muscles grow.
