As a fitness instructor I think that the number one problem in the fitness business is poor communication. For some strange reason, many trainers feel they need to give themselves a pat on the back for their knowledge by needlessly making fitness out to be some kind of rocket science. By over complicating every little detail they lose their clients in the shuffle and the fact is they cannot get results because they don't know what their trainer is talking about half the time. In today's article you'll get no jargon, enjoy it.
There are a few fundamentals which will keep you moving along nicely when it comes to hypertrophy training.
The first rule is sleep. If you fail to get enough sleep you'll be holding yourself back without even realizing it. That's the thing with these rules, they're a lot simpler than you think. Many of them, including this rule, are things you can literally correct right now. Try to get around eight hours of sleep each night whenever possible.
Supplementing the fact that your sleeping is now in perfect working order for gains in the gym you should now be looking to ensure your body is getting enough rest. You can't grow if your don't let it happen, after all. The next time you see somebody training every day and wondering why they aren't seeing results you'll know why it's happening. Don't let it happen to you.
Now we hit the gym and the focus shifts to your training program. There is no way you're going to pack on lean size if your training plan isn't specific to your goal. That means ditching the lax approach to your routine and trying to get a solid plan together which allows you to concentrate on your goal, nothing else. Eight-to-twelve reps is best for hypertrophy, that's the golden rule.
Sometimes we all get lost in the wide variety of exercises available to you. Which exercises work best for size? The basics work best. That's right, bench press is still the best chest building exercise, squat is the best leg building exercise, pull ups are the best back building exercise and so on. The movements we trainers call compound exercises are the ones which should be the primary focus of your workout session plan.
The main area where people go wrong, guys in particular, is their diet. That's correct, you need to diet even when you want to get bigger! Drinking a protein shake after your workout is great but you need to watch what you eat outside of the gym, too. You don't want to put fat on, remember, and in order to keep your gains lean you'll need to focus on quality food.
