The Process Of Muscle Building
Your body only knows resistance . Your body doesnt know whether youre doing a 100 pound bench press or just a normal press up . Your body doesnt know if youre lifting 6 plates on the lat pull down or if youre just doing a standard pull up .
When you do resistance training , your muscle fibres are broken down from that particular area that you worked . For example , did 10 reps on the preacher curl machine? While doing those 10 reps , if , and only if , you properly targeted your bicep and had a great mind-muscle connection , then those little muscle fibres inside your bicep are slowly being broken down . Then when you step out of the gym , eat some healthy food , get some good sleep , the muscle will grow back stronger than before . Capiche? Rinse and repeat for every muscle on your body .
As I said , your body doesnt understand which type of resistance is being applied , it only understands the force being applied . Im just going to be clear , Im assuming that if youre reading this book , you either go to a gym with weights or you have a home gym (considering this book is a weight lifting guide) . You can get a great body from bodyweight training and resistance bands , however if youre looking for the beach body kind of look , with a muscular frame , V-taper body with mountain sized traps and wide shoulders with the narrow hips , then in my opinion youre going to need a gym . Doing bodyweight and resistance band training will help with building muscle , but definitely not to the extent that physical weights will have . Being able to add more weight to your lifts is one of the ways that youre going to need if you want to have a strong , well-built muscular frame something that bodyweight and resistance training cant necessarily do to the same extent .
Building lean muscle mass , strength and size is a slow and steady process . Your genetics plays a huge role in the rate at which you build muscle or burn fat . Unfortunately , you have no control over your genetics , but you DO have control over your training , eating and sleeping so well worry about that stuff for now .
How To Build Serious Muscle Using These 6 Fundamental Weight Training Dynamics
In this section , Im going to lay the ground for the fundamental principles of weight training . These are the principles that youre going to need to keep in mind when making your training program (which well do later) , so that you can build some lean muscle mass.
Compound Movements
Compound movements are exercises that recruit multiple major muscle groups when doing the lift . These groups give you the biggest bang for your buck . Because they work multiple muscle groups , you actually maximize the efficiency of your workout , your body produces the most amount of growth hormone when doing these exercises , and theyll help you build the most amount of muscle .
Compound movements are exercises such as the bench press , deadlifts , squats , pullups etc . These exercises are the ones that break down multiple muscle fibres in the major muscle groups when you do them , and thats why theyre the hardest ones to do . The majority of your training should consist of compound movements if youre wanting to build lean muscle mass , strength and add size to your frame .
Isolation Movements
Isolations movements are the exercises that target only 1 muscle group , hence the word isolation; isolating the particular muscle group . Even though isolation muscle groups dont break down the muscle fibres in multiple muscle groups simultaneously, they definitely do help with isolating a particular muscle that you want to develop .
Isolation movements are exercises such as bicep curls , tricep pull downs , calf raises , preacher curls etc . These movements are the ones that isolate that particular muscle group and they arent as intense in comparison to the compound movements . In my opinion , isolation movements should only be used to bring out your lagging body parts . Say your triceps and calves are one of your weaknesses , you can do triceps pulldowns and calf raises to help bring them up into proportion with the rest of your frame .
Free Weights
These are the weights that your stabilizer muscles are activated when you use them (i . e . Dumbbells and barbells) . Free weights are great for building structural integrity and help with building functional strength since the stabilizer muscles are activated .
