Supplement Your Workout With These Muscle Building Techinques
Weight lifting, for it to be efficient should require some helpful muscle building techniques. These techniques are intended for advanced body building who have achieved specific plateaus in their workouts. The following techniques are drop sets, super sets and negatives.
The drop set technique involves forcing your body to continue lifting non stop, every time dropping the amount of weight you lift. As an example, you may do some military press at 100 pounds for 10 reps and then proceed to lift at 90 for 10 reps and so on.
There are some extremists that actually go to the degree of reducing 10 pounds at a time until they are left with just the bar. These should not be practiced by all though and are only suggested for advanced weight lifters with a training partner. A very successful muscle building technique.
The next useful technique are supesets. They are essentially two or more workouts performed back to back, targeting opposite muscle groups with no rest between the exercises. Supersets are efficient because they shock your muscles due to the immense amount of effort needed to perform them. This results in a very efficient workout for your muscles.
A great example would be performing some bench press followed by some bent over row or single arm curls followed by tricep extensions. You can construct your own superset as long as the muscles you are working on are complement of each other.
The last technique called negatives are the most effective of the three. A negative is what most people don't think about when they are weight lifting. When you lift weights and you push the weights away from you, your muscles contract and perform a positive. As you lower the weights or let go the tension you are performing a negative. You in fact work the tendons more in a negative movement than you do a positive. This is the reason why I consider negatives as the best muscle building technique. This on the other hand makes it the most challenging technique to perform.
To sum it all up, weight lifting is not all about who can carry the most, there are also techniques involed like all other sport. The three I've mentioned above are what I believe to be the best muscle building techniques for more experienced weight lifters. I wouldn't suggest this for starters as they could be shocked by the amount of effort they require. Nonetheless, you can choose to try the techniques for a day with the help of a trainer and see how your body reacts to the exercise. - 17269
