GET IN SHAPE!

More and more ladies are lifting weights, including celebrities like Angelina Jolie and music stars like Janet Jackson (and have you ever seen her abs?!) That's something to be thankful for. Sadly, many ladies are actually worried about the possibility that the hustle and bustle of the city, even just a few times a week, can make them look like Arnold (Schwarzenegger, not the one on the show). We should clearly shout the reality: this is a fear that is completely, completely unfounded! Women, powerlifting will allow you to achieve a divine figure, with perfectly placed bends, without excessive bulk. In the meantime, we should understand another thing: almost every lady who trains with a load is off base. It's possible that they don't have the foggiest idea what to do, or they'd rather not make a good attempt on the grounds that - really, you see - they'd rather not be like Arnold (argh!).

Before we understand how to train, we should think about Arnold's psychopathology. We must finally put an end to the muscle fear that leads so many ladies to disappointment.

A "huge" lie

As we said, it is a humiliating untruth that ladies will gain bigger muscles by weight training.

Reality:

If you want to have big muscles, it is essential to have a muscle that contains a large number of fast-twitch fibers that are more inclined to develop. A high fear ability to be able to obtain a breathtaking number of these fibers at the same time and - here is the biggest obstacle - an exceptionally increased level of anabolic chemicals, which is testosterone, responsible for male sexual qualities. Most men have none of that Arnold-like stuff, no matter how hard they work at the gym, which is why many call themselves hard gainers.

So on the off chance that the normal man doesn't have these means of building muscle, you should be sure that almost every lady won't get the chance to look like Arnold.

So what about jokers and all the muscles they have?

Reality: Most aggressive athletes—basically those with some bulk—use anabolic steroids, male chemicals that allow them to lose weight.

Overall, men have many times more testosterone than women. Be that as it may, muscleheads who use steroids usually don't get as big as a man. The volume you see—or think you see—is an illusion created by proper lighting and an incredibly low muscle-to-fat ratio. In fact, the bright lights on the weight training stage are meant to widen the difference between highlights and shadows and to deceive more full bodies. This can make a slim lady look bigger than she really is. While virtually all male athletes reach 18" arms, many female weightlifters do not reach 18". Basically, women's bodies are not meant to have tons of muscle. At the end of the day, you won't have Arnold's body, no matter if you work out all the time! (Sorry again, we got lost).

Convinced? If not, kindly return to your heart-stimulating exercise classes, which consume calories mainly from a few apples (the fat consumed corresponds to the effort). Before we go, there are a few things to consider:

New research shows that proper weight training can keep you burning fat for more than 30 hours after a session—regardless of whether you're resting. Steady strength of vigorous exercise

While the muscles you gain from lifting weights won't look like Arnold's (we have to repeat the same thing), they can completely reshape your body, exactly where it needs them, and they can flex. (Are any of them made in an hourglass?)

Adding some muscle to a few key points will allow you to aid digestion and burn more fat. Since oxygen-consuming action doesn't contribute much to lean mass gain, it loses a respectable situation when it comes to nimbleness for rapid weight reduction in contrast to weightlifting.

That doesn't mean you should overlook high-impact movement. It's great for the heart, blood flow and helps burn a few extra calories. The truth is that if you need a big body, you should focus on weightlifting.

Is it safe to say that you still understand it? At best, it could have been thanks to the idea that the weight can completely reshape your body and add bends when necessary. We should go deeper into the matter.

Most ladies go to the exercise center for one explanation – to work on their body's presence – and weights are an extraordinary method to do so. Here are some examples of how you can reshape your body with strength training:

In case you have a broad midriff or potentially hips, expanding the width of your shoulder and back muscles can make them appear firmer.

Assuming you have shins rather than legs, building the muscles in your thighs and calves will help restore the connection between your bottom and chest area. (Science has found that balance and range are the way to true attraction, so stay focused.)

If your arms are thin or poorly defined, a few biceps and rear arm sets will do wonders to make them more attractive.

In case you have small or drooping breasts, chest preparation will strengthen the muscles under the breast tissue, giving you the illusion of a slightly fuller chest. Also, the preparation of the back muscles will affect your posture: straight shoulders and a shaped chest.

In the event that your hips are generally flat or too large against the norm, a little targeted preparation with the greatest effort will adjust them, lift them up and encourage you in your pants.

As tempting as it might be to prepare these very body parts, be aware that this is anything but clever. A firm point will highlight tender spots, especially in the muscles. This may cause injury. For example, assuming your front thigh muscles, the quadriceps, are strong, they can tear your hamstrings, the back of the thigh, assuming they are weak. You really want to prep both the front and back of your thighs. Another model area of ​​strength, however, is the fragile lats. This crookedness makes you look wrinkled, the kind of behavior that would make your mom yell at you to get up. Improper posture is terrible for the spine and can leave your lower back feeling weak or injured (as well as making you appear chubby).

The most ideal way to guarantee complete body strength - and a hot, shapely body as well as a wonderful attitude - is to prepare all the significant muscle gatherings of the body - and in the event that you follow a decent program, it does not require a long investment. will appear

Exercise with a full range of motion

While it's vital to prepare opposing muscle groups, such as quads and hamstrings, pectorals and lats, biceps and hamstrings, it's also important to work each muscle through its maximum range of motion. development, such as the range of motion that follows. to be able to take, for example, the muscle on the back of the arm, the back muscles of the arm. The back arm muscles contract as the arm is pulled down, along the chest, with the elbow locked. The muscles of the posterior arm are in a neutral position when the arm is opposite the chest. At the point where the arm is close to the head, the elbow is turned, the back muscles of the arm are stretched. For its quick and complete turn of events—so that you eventually stop procrastinating tangibly—you should perform the activity for each of the three flexion positions: retracted position (arms bent), center position (arms extended), and extended position. (arms in the air). This also applies to all the remaining muscles.

By preparing in each of the three positions, you can achieve noticeable results faster than you naturally think. Ok, you don't need to prepare each of the three positions in every meeting because we'll get to that in a second. Here's some more uplifting news: depending on your muscle group, several activities include two situations on the deuce, and you'll be doing other things to take advantage of them - every time. The best results for shaping your body. Exercise center.

After a phase starting with basic activities, you will continue towards the POF program, in which you will train each muscle group through its full range of motion, but divide the work into two sessions.

If you want to know the full range of motion exercises for each major muscle part, you can find them recorded in the chart on page 270 of "Forming Body Positions for Full Range of Motion Exercises." complete development. Still, on the off chance that it doesn't, that's not a problem. They are customized into tables and act as an autopilot for you. Simply follow the projects shown and you will prepare each muscle bundle completely and accurately with almost no knowledge of muscle physiology.

Start of preparation (3 monthly)                                                                             Utilized load

Quads/Hamstrings:  Free Squat or Machine Squat,                                               2 x 15 *,10

Biceps Hamstrings: 2 x 15 * Handbell Straight Leg Deadlift,                              2 x 15 *,10

Chest/Triceps: Flat Bench Press or Machine Press                                               2 x 15*, 10

Deltoids: with hand weights in a seated or seated press on the test system         2 x 15 *, 10

Lats/Mid Back/Biceps: Front Wide Grip Machines,                                            2 x 15 *,10

Mid Back: Block (straight bar, arms shoulder-width apart, arms 45° to chest)   2 x 15*, 10

Back arm muscles: push-ups                                                                               1 x 10

Biceps: Concentration Arm Curl or  Machine Curl                                            1 x 10  

Calves:  Standing toe raises,                                                                               2 x 15 *,15

Abs: Raised knees on a slightly inclined or straight seat (bring the pelvis towards the chest towards the target of each repetition)                                                                                    1 x 8

Abdominal muscles: full push-ups or seated press

Curving Pull                                                                                                      1 x 8-12

* Light series for warming up. Load 70% of your body weight for the main set of activities. This series is vital.

Be simple.

Week 1: Do one set for each activity, extremely light, 12 reps.

Week 2: Warming up as shown, also read the preparation series; However, they should be slightly harder than the main week.

Week 3: Perform all sets as recorded; Practice until you can master one repetition all the more perfectly. On the off chance that you can do two more reps than shown, increase the pile on the following meeting to get back to the number of dismissed you checked.

General assessment

1) The redundancy rate should be approximately two seconds in the rising phase and two seconds in the falling phase.

2) Take about a minute between sets - a little longer for more challenging exercises like squats.

3) Never train two days in a row. Two days and seven days should be adequate (eg Monday and Thursday); However, you can get better results by preparing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

4) If you train two days a week, stick to this program for a very long time before moving on to Phase 1.

The primary program for sensitive results

In case you haven't trained with a lot of load before, you should do at least four weeks after the program to help your body adapt to moderate load training, a program that will allow you to stimulate the sensory system and increase your ability to pull yourself together. It shows you are exercising. Get used to the basics and prepare. Practicing "ready to take off" will quickly build your solidarity, but much of it will be a direct result of working on your brain's productivity - that is, improving the capacity of your muscle fibers to contract. Muscles will be much more grounded and digestion much higher, subsequently you will consume more fat. Be that as it may, the best results are on the way.

Copy the mirror page on page 252 of "Beginning Exercises" and take it to the rec center. You record the used pile by stamping with a pencil.

Follow the program for a considerable period of time and you will perceive how each session builds your sense of well-being. Then go to phase 1.

Necessary circumstances for preparation

The main terms you really want to know are "set" and "reset". "Repetition" is a ready-made pattern of development for an activity. For example, a full bench press progression consists of pushing the bar up and then dropping it back down. A "set" is a certain number of repetitions performed consistently. For example, in the "opening set" you complete two sets of 15 reps for the bench press, which is composed like this: 2 x 15.

Phase 1: Training with a circulation of high and low positions

Amateur training will give you confidence in your body and if you follow it reliably, you will be more grounded than ever. After this chart, now is the time to use the strength you need to precisely prepare your muscles and modify those dangerous bends we talked about earlier.

Each muscle is made up of many fibers, and each fiber can be of different types – the basic arrangements are slow-twitch or opposition fibers and fast-twitch or force fibers. Depending on the number of workers laid off, different types of fibers are prepared. For the fastest results, vary the reps for each arrangement of each activity. We call this technique "high-low" because you do an enormous number of reps for one set, not many for another.

1) First series (light warm-up, 15 light repetitions). This warm-up series features a mix of fast and slow fibers with an emphasis on strength. In addition, a large number of redundant states causes the muscles to flow blood to warm up so that they can contract better in the following set, the main, more serious, and heavier. The basic set should be simple, without tires. A good guideline is to stack around 70% of the weight you use in your prep sets, the weight you use for the second set of eight reps. If 70% seems too high, feel free to increase it. Keep in mind that this is a warm-up set.

2) The second set (eight serious layoffs). Currently, add weight to hand or machine weights to complete just eight reps. By maximizing the primary arrangement of activities, you're essentially working the fast-twitch, power-placed springs that are best for lifting weights, so don't hold back. . If you can do at least 10 reps, increase the stack in the next activity.

3) Third series (12 repetitions, medium weight). Lower the stack, aiming to complete 12 reps on the final set - most likely a similar load to what you used in the warm-up set, or slightly more. Twelve repetitions trains a combination of different fibers and guarantees that any number of fast-twitch fibers that can reasonably be expected are exhausted regardless of many different fibers. Assuming you do at least 14 reps, increase the stack for this set in the next exercise.

Phase 1 and 2: Preparation of n. 1 with the expansion of Hi-Lo positions

Notes: Scale lines are shown in bold. Do step aerobics (without a climbing pole) for long periods of time. After five weeks

Go to stage 2 (add series to scale).

Encounter 1 (middle of the road and extended position)                  used the heap.

* Light series for warming up. Load 70% of your body weight for the main exercise. This cycle should be simple.

Climbing group.

General assessment

1) To continue the activities, keep doing the reps until you can do the others while keeping up with the amazing structure. Assuming you do two more than the number recorded, increase the pile on the next session to get back to the predetermined number of repetitions.

2) The repetition rate should be approximately two seconds on the upstroke and two seconds on the downstroke.

3) Allow about a minute between sets - leave a little extra time for other challenging exercises like squats.

4) Alternate schedule 1 with schedule 2, but never train two days in a row. Two days and seven days should be enough (like Monday and Friday).

Just as you did with the novice activity, duplicate the program in a journal or duplicate this endless page 260, take it to the rec center and record a pile for each arrangement of activities. Likewise, you can continue to use the activity outlines on pages 257 and 261 as a source of perspective.

At most muscle gatherings, there are two activities in each instructional session. Remember that there are three situations for each muscle contraction and you want to practice the full range of motion. Does this mean you should do three activities for each muscle? Indeed, the vast majority do

This is important, but as we mentioned above, you don't have to do each of the three situations in every exercise. That's why we called it Position Split Training. In virtually all rallies, you do a span and stretch in one session, then at that point, the span with compression is present in the next session. Two tables for quadriceps:

table 1

Middle Position: Machine Squat or Squat (M) 3 x 15, 8, 12

Stretch Position: Legs Forward (S) 1 x 10 or Machine Stretch

Table 2

Middle Position: Machine Squat or Squat (M) 3 x 15, 8, 12

Shortening position: Leg extension (C) 1 x 10

In the above model (M) - apply the expression "hello lo" to the exercise in the middle position characterized by the squat. At your ongoing level of engagement, the transition position exercises are more significant in light of the fact that they work more muscles and muscle fibers with extreme load or at least weight.

Transitional poses are more convincing and train the desired muscles without working with others. For example, when you squat, you put more pressure on the fibers than when you do leg extensions, because when you squat, your glutes, lower back, and even lower leg muscles help lift the stack. It's muscular cooperation. Leg raises separate the muscles you're crunching more, which means you can use less weight and use less fiber.

Since the activities that allow you to loosen the muscles more - the exercises in the contracted position (C) and the exercises in the augmentation position (S) are not so important for your goals now, just do one group of 10 activities. . Rehash for each of them. These repetitions will allow you to prepare the obstructive springs as well as those responsible for the workforce.

The Hi-Lo part for quite some time, think about making huge changes to your look and then…

Phase 2: Practice Hi-Lo positions and split lifts

You want to change something to build your body fast. First, this variety is created by adding weight or reps to each activity or virtually any activity. After two months of preparation, the weight gain will slowly decrease. Try not to emphasize that you actually have a lot of room to work on your solidarity; It simply dials back. However, you want something that will give your muscles extra buoyancy because you need to continue building your body at a supersonic pace, as opposed to depending on a slow, moderate load build-up. The reaction is a chain to redesign.

The program is equivalent to sync 1, except for the restriction work - those in the position of compression and augmentation - repeat 10 times, then immediately reduce the pile and repeat an additional six times. Rest as long as is important to change the weight and go from the primary set to the second as quickly as one would really expect. Still, don't make it easy to climb individually; Just pick a weight high enough to perform multiple reps.

Phase 1 and 2: Training 2 split Hi-Lo occupations

Note: The scale series is shown intermittently. Watch the main stage for a very long time (no power lines).

After five weeks, go to phase 2 (add the string to the scale).

Meeting 2 (span and taper position)                                              Applied load

* Light string for warming up. Load 70% of your body weight with the primary activity. This string should be simple.

series to redesign. Do it after five weeks - only in the follow-up phase. They are performed with such high recurrence that it is difficult to keep them accurate, approx. 10, then quickly lower the weight and continue. Try to get the number of dismissals in brackets: 6.

General proclamations or remarks

1) Maintain the ideal structure for one group of activities and keep repeating until you complete the other. Assuming you do two more than the predetermined number, increase the pile in the next session to get back to the predefined number of repetitions.

2) The redundancy rate should be about seconds in the upper phase and up to seconds in the lower phase.

3) Take a moment or more between sets – a little longer for more challenging practices like squats.

4) Replace table 1 with table 2, but never train two days in a row. Two days and seven days should be enough (eg Monday and Friday).

Climbing sets are valuable for things other than muscle loading. Research shows that there is a direct relationship between higher levels of lactate corrosive in the blood and the arrival of GH from the pituitary gland (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 10: 256-262; 1996). According to the consuming feeling in the muscles, you will realize that climbing sets the increment of milky caustics. In fact, this means that you have to thicken the teeth and still try to prevent deterioration. You really need to rock the GH form.

Currently, don't think that GH will give you gorilla muscles because it has "development" in its name. He will not be. All things considered, a developmental chemical is a maturing chemical. This can further develop everything from skin to hair wellbeing to a firmer insensitive framework. In addition, it helps in losing weight with incredible speed.

So by adding one set of weights to the specific practices in Phase 2, you'll shape up, resist aging, and burn more fat. Additionally, climbing sets will raise your heart rate higher than regular sets, so you'll get cardiovascular benefits along with a slight digestive boost. On the off chance that the result is not told!

Follow phase 2 for about five weeks and try not to overreact to every compliment they give you, then move on at that point…

Phase 3: the next step

Dopo la fase 2 vi sentire e sarete meglio che mai. Three months of vero allenamento con I pesi migliorano il vostro fisico - ed anche la mente: svilupperete una mentalità completamente diversa. L'allenamento coi pesi è davvero surpandante. È il segreto più segreto del wellness - at least la parte più neglected. A questo punto sarete siuremente enthusiaste e desiderose di continuare a migliorare.

Per continuare promotion ottenere resultantes ci sono variestrade possibili da seguire. Here are some options:

1) Phase 2 with a series of scalar twos. To continue telling the story Fase 2 is on the same level, mom aggiungete un'altra serie a scalare agli esercici consizione di allungamento ed a quelli con la position di contrazione. In other words, add a second reduction in peso and a third round in order to accept three series in rapid succession. (Sì, brucia, mama potete farcela. Pensate che state stimolando l'ormone che brucia il grasso!). Adesso lo mapping on il leg augmentation sarebe il seguente:

Leg Raises 1 x 10(6)(4)

Questo significa toll una sola series od 10 repetizioni, redutre velocemente il carico a provare promotion eseguirne altre sei, abbassare rapidi il peso ancora un'ultima volta and tentare quattro repetizioni. È un po' doloroso, mama ne vale la pena (potete semi sentire l'adipe che cola through).

2) Phase 2 with specialization. Continue con la Fase 2 mama eseguendo l'esercizio con posizione intermedia soltanto per il gruppo muscolare più specialty che avete; inoltre effettuate tutte e three le le positioni per ogni sessione in rifference man-made intelligence gruppi deboli oppure per quelli che ci tenete a migliorare. This is called specialization work. Promotion esempio, se per natura avete il punto vita largo, mama beauty gambe, dovrete specializzare il lavoro sulle spale in maniera da creare l'illusione di una vita sottile. Compenserete il lavoro extra che effettuate per le spalle redivendo quello per le gambe.

We specify more, in a way that you can understand the concept of specialization:

Gruppi muscolari forti, gambe: one series of warm-up from 15 repetizioni on lo squat and then la serie d'allenamento con 10 repetizioni. Kill il leg augmentation oppure inseritelo saltuariemente.

Gruppi muscolari deboli o che requiremente lavoro di specializzazione, deltoidi: allenate tutte e three le posizioni promotion ogni sessione using la medesima tabella. According to farlo, inserite l'esercizio na la posición mancante nelle table della della Fase 1 is marked as follows:

Tabella 1, allenamento delle spalle

Distensioni con manubri da seduta (M) 3 x 15*, 8, 12

Tirate con manubrio, su panca inclinata (S) 1 x 10

Insert: tirate al mento con bilanciere (C) 1 x 10

Tabella 2, allenamento delle spalle

Distensioni con manubri da seduta (M) 3 x 15*, 8, 12

Inserite: tirate con manubrio, su panca inclinata (S) 1 x 10

tirate al mento con bilanciere (C) 1 x 10

*Una serie leggera for heating. Caricate il 70% del peso for the first series d'allenamento. Questa series dovrebbe essere without effort.

Dal moment che il normale protocollo POF prescrive pro prima la position intermedia, per seconda quella di allungamento a per terza quella di contrazione, si tratta ogni volta del medesimo allenamento. Dopo un paio di settimane potete di nuovo introdurre le series a scalare per gli exercises con position di allungamento and di contrazione.

3) Tabella "dividi ed impera". Che ne dite dite dite dite le posizioni con arco completo per ogni muscolo all'interno della medesima session? Ha funzionato a meraviglia per gli atleti di tutto il mondo (I libri sul POF di Steve ed I suoi articoli sono stati tradotti in molte lingue). È una strategia più advanceda che, obviamento, requestie più beat, quindi suddividete il programma in questa maniera:

Monday: quadriceps, biceps femorals, polpacci, abdominals.

Martedì: pectorals, dorsals, spalle, braccia.

Wednesday: Riposo.

Giovedì: quadricipiti, bicipiti femorali, polpacci, abdominali.

Friday: pectorals, dorsals, spalle, braccia.

Oppure, se tre sessioni la settimana si accordano meglio con I impegni, potete provare la seguente suddivisione:

Monday: quadriceps, biceps femorals, polpacci, abdominals.

Martedì: pectorals, dorsals, spalle, braccia.

Friday: tutto il corpo (seguite il "allenamento per iniziare" or un'altra routine breve per tutto il corpo).
