Female Muscle Growth 101 (Part 2) :
7 - Neglecting Weaker Body Parts - Come
on. We are all guilty of this at one time or another. Really... I mean
what kind of ego is behind working a weak body part that isn't very
strong?
Most
bodybuilders tend to train their strengths; for one it's ego boosting
and it's more fun. However, the true bodybuilders train their weaknesses
harder. Improving your weakness makes it a strength and creates
balance.
One example is my legs. I had very skinny legs my first
few years in bodybuilding. They were obviously weak so that made it just
that much harder to want to train them. After a few contests and judges
feedback, I literally built massive and powerful legs in just 8 months
by using these Laws you are now reading.
8 - Defining True
Intensity - A large percentage of lifters are confused about what
intensity actually is; this can be a problem if your goal is to build
the best muscular physique you can.
A true certified personal
trainer can tell you the difference between aerobic and anaerobic
intensity. Aerobic intensity is based on time factor. Anaerobic
intensity is based on poundage used.
So, is doing more exercises,
sets, and reps higher intensity? Sure, if you want to build your
cardiovascular system and muscle endurance. However, if you want to
build muscle, stick with 2-3 exercises (including one compound
exercise), and 3 sets, in the 6-8 rep range.
