Home | Health & Fitness | Muscle Building Do you really believe that a special low-density muscle tissue exists that will grow on your body if it only depended on the right training program? Well the answer is no. Muscle gains are only down to food intake and muscle gains mean gaining weight. The weight you lift is irrelevant, but if you are gaining weight then you are performing well and eating well too. Intensity Intensity: What bodybuilders like most is to train hard, boast of training hard, do the impossible, triple drop sets and forced reps, and anything else that will leave their body in a state of suffering. But the a serious problem that arises is that although the muscular structure can get back to normal within a short time period, the central nervous systems are basically f**ked. It can take up to a month or so for the CNS to get back to good working order after so many failure training attempts, meaning that getting back to normal training at these weights could take up to several weeks. Why oh why oh why would anyone want to do this? Your muscles recover from almost any stimulus within 72 hours but if you have stressed the CNS so greatly that it can no longer apply any force then you will become detrained as the CNS recovers. By the time your preparedness is back up to a high level the fitness gain from training has almost completely gone. To start with this will work out fine but on the long term it will have a very negative affect on training, forcing you to start back at your initial training loads. Frequency and total load are the two determining factors in correct training for size and strength! So why on earth would anybody minimise either of them on purpose? Single factor training: Probably 99% of ordinary people in gyms are currently training according to single factor training theory, or the principle of super compensation. Probably 5% of elite strength athletes are training this way and they are all bodybuilders. Now I know most people are not even aware of what dual factor theory is so here is a brief explanation. Single factor theory treats fitness and fatigue as existing to the exclusion of each other. Let's say as an example that you feel tired and your muscles are sore after training, then you should recover first before starting to train again. This is what is known as super compensation theory, which is basically saying that fitness is decreased at this point and then gradually rises back to where it was just before your next work out. You then proceed to train by slightly increasing your load whereby pushing your fitness up a level. This cycle is then repeated. Dual factor theory considers fitness, fatigue and preparedness as being factors apart but not exclusive to one another. Your long-term ability is considered to be fitness and it changes gradually and is not related to fatigue. Your immediate ability is considered to be preparedness which is what you can do NOW but is not influenced by fatigue. According to dual factor theory you can train to the point of extreme fatigue, and have a terrible state of preparedness but still be making improvements in long-term fitness. In other words you DO NOT have to fully recover between workouts all the time and nor should you. Macronutrient fascism: "Carbs just suck", "You get fat by eating fats" and "Just eat protein to get more muscle". No and a big NO. We need all of then in some form or other. Each person might be different in personal needs depending on personal objectives, but to actually cut one of the macronutrients out of our diet is plain dumb. Different mixes of macronutrients produce different results and by taking away one from the equation you just won't achieve anything. I would personally start off with an isocaloric diet which is a great method to obtain both health and strength. Lifestyle what lifestyle?: Now then, if you're the sort of bodybuilder who just does biceps on a Friday night in order get that pumped up sort of look so you can go out clubbing and pull, then you really do need a good kicking. If your goal is to achieve a bigger and stronger physique then you will have to make some difficult decisions in your like, otherwise all that good hard training of yours will just go right out of the window.
