Muscle Building Exercise
By Albert Finnellia
The more effort you put into something the more effective you will be. For a
long time this has been a universally accepted maxim that has applied to many
varied areas of life and speaking historically has usually been regarded as the
standard in muscle building exercise. The more time employed fine-tuning your
body with muscle building exercise, the better athlete you will become. In
consequence it only makes sense that the greater amount of time you spend in the
gym with muscle building exercise, the stronger and more muscular your body will
become. In opposition to what you might believe, the answer with respect to
muscle building exercise is an unmitigated no! It is in this style of
bodybuilding that acknowledged knowledge goes straight down the plughole.
When we understand the muscle building exercise from its basics, it becomes
obvious why this is a fact.
All processes that occur within the human body are centered around keeping
you alive and healthy and this applies even more so to muscle building exercise.
Over untold years of evolution the human body has become quite a fine tuned
organism that can adapt well to almost all conditions that are placed upon it.
We become uncomfortable when we are hungry or thirsty, we get suntanned when
high amounts of UV rays attack us, we get callused to stop our skin from wearing
and so forth. So what happens when we break down muscle tissue in the gym with
muscle building exercise? The muscles get bigger and stronger, it's as simple as
that. By fighting resistance beyond the muscle's existing capacity a threat has
been posed to the musculature. The body identifies this as possibly injurious
consequently as a normal adaptive response the muscles will increase in size
(hypertrophy) therefore protecting the body against this threat. As we
constantly increase the resistance over time with muscle building exercise the
body will keep on growing and adapting.
It seems easy and finely it is. However, the crucial thing to understand in
relation to all of this is that the muscles can only grow stronger and healthier
if they are given ample time to recover between muscle building exercise. If not
given ample time to recover, the muscle growth process simply cannot occur.
Your goal in the gym needs to be to use muscle building exercise with the
minimum amount of volume required to yield an adaptive response. When your
muscles have been pushed beyond their existing capacity and have started your
thousand year old alarm system, you have done your job. Any further stress to
the body with muscle building exercise will simply increase your time to
recover, weaken the immune system and send your body into catabolic overdrive.
Most people carry out muscle building exercise far too often and with far
more sets than they really need. High intensity muscle building exercise is much
more stressful to the body than many people believe. The vast majority of people
structure their muscle building exercise programs in a way that actually retards
their gains and prevents them from making the progress that they require. There
are some guidelines that you should follow if you want to achieve the most with
muscle building exercise:
Do muscle building exercise no more than three days every week.
Do not let your muscle building exercise last for longer then an hour.
Perform between 5-8 sets of muscle building exercise for large muscle groups
(chest, thighs, back) and between 2-4 sets of muscle building exercise for
smaller muscle groups (abs, shoulders, calves, biceps, triceps).
Drive all sets to the brink of muscular failure and focus on moving forward
in either reps or weight each 7 days. If you really train hard and keep
consistent, doing muscle building exercise more often or any longer than this
will compromise your gains.
Muscle building exercise, like all worthwhile things in life, should be done
in moderation! About the Author Albert Finnellia runs http://www.muscle-building-exercise.com/ and is a fitness coach working in the USA. The website currently focuses on
