2 Basic Principles for Long Term Weight Lifting Gains

By Eric W. Bricker

A proper muscle building and weight gain workout routine is the first key to achieving the results you want in the shortest amount of time. You will quickly discover however that the routine itself is only part of the puzzle as simply lifting some weights once in a while won't get you there.

The other component to success is commitment and the ability to do what it takes every single day to avoid being just another dabbler who gives up and walks away.

Once your program has all the right components needed for you to be successful, it's then up to you to put everything into action and begin producing the muscle building results your looking for.

With that said, there are 2 basic principles your weight training program must include if you want to be successful at quickly achieving your goals.

1. High Intensity Training

It is vital for the production of muscle mass that you put as much stress on the muscles as possible during each workout so that they heal and regrow and much as possible during recuperation. A high intensity workout therefore requires that you focus on lifting as much weight as possible with fewer reps, and do only one set per exercise. Doing this 1 to 3 times a week will allow you to increase the weight each week.

2. Periodization

The other key concept to keep in mind is to mix your overall schedule so that you do weight gain training one week a month and focus on regular strength training routines during the other three weeks. This ensures a balanced development of your overall muscle strength as well and mass. If you focus only on mass you can cause serious structural damage as the size of your larger muscles exceeds your bodies ability to support them.

Implement these 2 components into your fitness weight training program combined with proper weight gain nutrition supplementation and you can't help but to achieve massive gains fast. - 17269
