Bodybuilding Magic In The Last Rep
from: Jim O'ConnorBodybuilding enthusiasts, as well as strength training
participants, all want quick, visible muscle defining results.
Their main goal is to add different degrees of lean tissue or
fat burning muscle to their bodies all according to personal
objectives. Bodybuilders want to add as much muscle mass as
possible, while fitness enthusiast want to either maintain
muscle mass, or slightly increase strength and size. It all
depends upon the specific goals and objectives of each
participant.
Bodybuilding magic occurs not during the first rep, but the
last. Do you know the last, most difficult, repetition triggers
90% of muscle building results?
The main principle in increasing muscle strength and size is
overload. If you place a greater stress on your muscles than you
had during the previous workout, that specific muscle will be
stimulated, and overloaded enough causing an adaptive
responsive. This event results in greater strength and muscle
tissue development. The adaptive response is dependent upon the
intensity of that last magic, muscle producing rep.
Bodybuilding and strength training participants should really
focus on conquering that last, near impossible muscle building
repetition. A valiant effort of trying to move that last rep
will trigger the muscle group to adapt, and grow stronger.
Don't give up too easily when you feel the weight is
challenging. Battle that rep for at least 4 seconds. Even if you
are unable to complete the full rep, you have succeeded, and the
muscle building growth process will follow. That is, only if you
have had sufficient rest between workouts. It is not during the
bodybuilding workout when muscle building results occur, but
rather after consecutive rest days to allow for muscle building
compensation followed by overcompensation.
The last rep is the stimulus that triggers this whole process
which bodybuilding and strength gains are based upon. Please
note, this whole process can be short circuited by not allowing
enough rest time between workouts for overcompensation to occur.
If you allow your body sufficient rest, your muscle strength
will continue to increase with each subsequent bodybuilding
workout. If not, you need more days off to recover from the
previous workout. You only have a limited number of resource
recovery abilities available, so don't short circuit your
results by not allowing the recovery process to finish.
Instead of focusing on which bodybuilding supplement brings good
bodybuilding fortune, focus on what really matters - the last,
muscle building rep. Then allow your body to do the rest.
Your primary goal should be to reach that repetition you can't
complete after struggling four or more seconds. If you follow
this last rep, maximum stress,followed by sufficient rest
principle, then you will see magic in your bodybuilding results.
