Build Muscles In A Counter Intuitive Way In Your Workout Routine
Build Muscles In A Counter Intuitive Way In Your Workout Routine
Counter Intuitive Workouts for Gaining Strength and Getting Toned.
Anyone who has worked out, especially with weights, has heard, "To build bulk do 8-10 reps. To lean out (or get lean) do 12-15 reps."
So, because we always hear this, especially when our trainers tell us this, we assume it to be true. But is it really?
Now, to be true to yourself, you should always ask you personal trainer about changing what you're doing and have a good reason to do so. If you don't have a personal trainer, then do your research before ASSUMING anything! And please, be smart about the whole process, you don't need to be Superman.
Ok, now if you're anything like me, I'm always doing 12-15 reps on just about everything, which is the look I'm going for, the leaned out look. But for whatever reason, I'm always getting the bulkier, big muscle look. Oh, there's nothing wrong with this, it's just not the look I would like to have.
So, I started researching to see if I what the trainers were telling me about how to lean out was correct.
Low and behold, at least for my understanding, it was NOT! Well, not entirely.
What all this involves is sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar muscle hypertrophy, which is technical muscle jargon that most people who work out have no clue about. (How do I know? Because I've been a gym rat for a LONG time and have worked out with literally dozens of workout partners and not one of them, or other people who were at the gym, had ever mentioned this stuff before)
So, without getting all technical, let me give you the basics of this muscle stuff. While both cause muscles to grow and get stronger, the main difference between the two muscle hypertrophies is one stimulates more GROWTH while the other causes more STRENGTH.
Now, before you go out and tell you personal trainer they have it all wrong, relax a bit and realize there is a LOT more to it than just doing fewer or lesser reps. For instance, amount of weight, repping out to failure (or not), and how often to lift, just to name a few.
What I'm saying is if you've been working towards a certain look and you're not seeing it yet, really take a look at what kind of workouts you're doing. Who knows, it could be all you gotta do is get a bit counter intuitive with your workouts and everything may fall in place.
