Strength Training Conditioning: How To Temper Your Body

Strength Training Conditioning: How To Temper Your Body

There are many different methods of strength training conditioning, but most people only know a few. There are so many ways out there to get stronger, and I'm amazed when I hear someone talking about how their method is the only way. Or the *best* way.

So, here are a variety of ways to condition you body, make it stronger, and able to endure more. Regardless of whether you use barbells, kettlebells, your own bodyweight, or whatever.

Work Strength And Endurance

Strength is the ability to exert more force with your muscles. Endurance is being able to exert that force over a loner time.

Real strength training conditioning means working on both of these aspects. It's great to be able to add 10 lbs. to your bench press, but being able to exert that force for more time is also important for using your strength in the real world.

Select one to work on for several weeks, and then spend several weeks on the other. It's very hard to improve both your strength and endurance at the same time, but by separating them you can get much better gains.

Target Stabilizer Muscles

This is less of a 'method' of strength training conditioning and more something to work on regardless of what strength training method you use. Whether it's kettlebells or using your own bodyweight, you need to target your stabilizer muscles.

Your stabilizer muscles are the little guys that stabilize all the movements of your bigger muscles. You may have seen guys that are big and strong from using machines at the gym, but are easily off balanced with free weights. They haven't worked their stabilizer muscles ;-)

Working with free weights or on an unstable surface forces you to balance yourself. A classic example of this would be doing a dumbbell bench press on an exercise ball rather than a bench - forcing you to pay more attention to stabilizing your body. Whatever you're doing, make sure you work your stabilizers.

Grip

Your grip strength is another area that's commonly overlooked. And yet, you use your hands for everything!

Working your grip isn't as glamourous as pumping your biceps to impress that girl walking through the gym. But, it will give you tremendous benefits. Virtually all sports involve your hands, you use them all the time to gesture, type, open doors to do everything!

Strengthen your hands to strengthen everything you do with them. And for information to build a stronger body along with your hands, check out the links below.
