Bodybuilding Wisdom 101.
How To make Muscle Size Gains (mostly size with some strength Gain) vs. Strength Gains.
How To make Muscle Size Gains (mostly size with some strength Gain) vs. Strength Gains.
To increase your muscle size, you must increase the intensity of work done within a given period of time.
This means that it doesn't matter how much work you do, but how fast you do it.
This is called the "overload principle."
The most significant experiment proving this involves rats that were trained to run at different speeds for varying lengths of time.
The rats that ran at 6 meters per minute for 195 miles had smaller muscular development than rats that ran 26 meters per minute, but for only 58 miles.
This principle of muscluar overload also explains why sprinters have larger muscle size all over their bodies than long-distance runners.
Although it's more work to run a mile than 100 yards, the sprinter is doing more work per second and as a result, his muscles will grow larger.
My 25 years of experience in training bodybuilders has convinced me that over-training (too many sets, reps and too frequent training) causes muscle loss and nervous system exhaustion.
It also lowers testosterone and Growth Hormone levels.
That's why with Muscle Overload Training, we do a large volume of work as quickly as possible. This provides all the stimulation needed for muscular gains without the risk of over-training.
So now that you understand the most important principle of Muscle Overload Training, here's how you can make even BETTER and FASTER gains.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your results with Muscle Overload Training.
Train Insane or Remain the Same;)
