Advanced Approach To Fitness

There are many different fitness goals that someone can have

. Some people may want to bulk up, others may want to lose weight and some may want both. At this point in my life my primary concern is gaining muscle. I have always been the type to want people to take note of how big my arms are when I"m just walking down the street. I also wanted to be the type of person who had a one repetition maximum on the bench press that was worth bragging about. Over the years I have gotten to the point where I do get noticed for how big my arms are and I can bench press 320 pounds while only weighting 160 pounds. I still want to get as strong as I possibly can and so far I haven"t hit a plateau that has lasted for very long ever since implementing the formula for fitness that I now use. This article will explain my exact approach in training for strength while remaining lean. I will not go to in depth as far as the different elements I feel make up a solid workout program although I will give a few tips that may help you make your own program. If you want to make sure you"re following a good program I suggest you get a certified personal trainer who can help you with the precise goals you have. If you can"t afford personal training as many people cannot then you may want to explore online personal training. I will explain how you can find a free online personal trainer. A free online personal trainer can help you reach your goals just as any other personal trainer can. However a good a free online personal trainer may be hard to find so I will explain how you should go about looking.

Firstly, realize that I am an advanced lifter because I have been doing it for several years now. This means that beginner and intermediate level workouts no longer have any effect on me. If you are still a beginner or intermediate level lifter then you are not quite ready for the sort of workout I am going to describe. Since I have been lifting for so long now I have to perform more than the typical three sets per exercise. For some exercises I"ll do as many as seven sets and as few as five. Fewer than five sets no longer induce muscle growth for me. So that brings me to my first tip for how I design my workout programs. For isolation exercises I personally do about seven sets per exercise. For compound exercises like the bench press that involve several muscle groups I perform an exercise for about five sets usually. Since I train for strength, I also rest for about three minutes between sets. Some people would rather rest for only 30 second to one minute but the problem is such short rest times are not likely to result in as much of an increase in strength. If you want to rest for shorter times that is fine but the conventional thinking has always been shorter rest times will result in more muscle mass but not necessarily as much strength. Since I do so many sets per exercise and I rest for such a long period of time between sets my workout usually last for about 2 hours. Also one minor detail I want to mention is that in addition to resting for 3 minutes between sets I also rest for 3 minutes between exercises. Nutrition is also very important. I am sure to drink 24 grams of protein about 1 hour before a workout and eat a meal high in complex carbohydrates and protein 1 hour and 30 minutes before the workout. I also try to eat four times every day. Each meal is pretty large and is high in protein and complex carbs. The only cardio I do is walking on a treadmill for one hour with a heart rate of about 65% of my maximum heart rate.

If you need help making a good workout plan you should look into personal training. A lot of personal trainers know a lot about training for strength. If you can"t afford personal training then a free online personal trainer may be what you need. You are like to get a free online personal trainer during the free trial of an online personal training service. Use the free online personal trainer to get a good idea for whether or not you like that particular service.
