Lifting Reps vs. Weight?
which gives you more bulk and which gives you more strength
Personal trainers, physical therapist and athletic trainers will all tell you to pull what you can handle as many times as you can in need getting sore and make sure that the weight is something that you can bar but not something that you can do all day. If you do this relatively often then you will build muscle and strength without delay. more reps at a lighter weight will make you more cut. low reps at a glorious weight will make you bulky
For strength, lifting within the 1-5 rep range as this stimulates the type 2b muscle fibers used primarily for strength. When training for hypertrophy, lifting inwardly the 8-12 rep range is typically best as this gives you the time underneath tension (45-60 seconds) as well as GH release requisite for muscle growth of all type 2 fibers; focus on the eccentric portion of the heave, over 15 reps, and you're working the type 1 muscle fibers utilized for endurance which do not grow large, and also does not stress the CNS or break down muscle tissue.
Training elevated reps, low weight for toning and low reps, high counterweight for bulk is one of the biggest misconceptions regarding weight lifting. High reps won't do squat for developing muscles.
Answers: You can train within the 6-10 reps for bulk.
As for strength training try the 5 reps x 5 sets training regime. This helped me gain ALOT of strength about a year ago when I be feeling pretty weak.
Also when you are training for bulk you should focus on form and technique. Never use momentum to move up up the weights. You'll just be cheating youself.
You should also focus on the negative parts of movements while working out. (EX. The going down quantity while benching.)
But remember, nothing will work if you do not have a stable diet plan. I literary that the hard way. I spent one adjectives year training my A** off without a proper nutrition and my gain were minimal.
A really good website to check out is bodybuilding.com . This website help me so much and I really don't think I can stay motivated without it. They own thousands of articles that feeds you with bodybuilding knowlegde.
Most importantly, when you start a training regime, never stop! You hold to have the "I won't miss my workout for anything!!" type of attitude. I had to swot up that the hard way. I stopped training for a couple of weeks due to so much college things I had to take attention of. When I began training again I realized the gain that I have made in yesteryear were missing. This really lowered my self esteem, but I'm still keeping it up. Summer is coming which means no academy and I'd really like to make a complete transformation.
Bodybuilding is a fun hobby to enjoy. It teaches you so many things and change your outlook on many things.
So again, remember...
Train in the 6-10 rep selection for mass
And also the 5sets X 5 reps for strength
Have a proper nutrition plan. Know how many calories you should be eating everday. You didn't put in the picture me you weight, so I'll give you an thought. (150lbs = shoot for 3000 calories a day)
Most importantly stay motivated and NEVER give up.
Try to gain as much knowlege as possible. Muscle magazines sustain a lot. And you can check out bodybuilding.com . Use their search pub and type in a keyword. Anything about muscle to read they hold. Good luck !
