Do you know these 3 rules for strength training?

Power comes from strength training. At the end of the day, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is walking around with a “V8 engine” (their muscle system) though barely firing on “4 cylinders” – not even a single person is truly utilizing their muscles to the extreme.

Your body actually keeps you from using all the strength of your muscles, as a safey mechanism. Your strength generally does not exceed 30% of your tendon structural strength. For instance, when people are electricuted their muscles often contract so hard that they break their bone structures.

That said, you can become MUCH stronger by learning how to “fire” more of your muscles and get them to contract harder and with more tension. if you follow these three rules for maximum strength training:

First Rule: Concentrate On A Limited Full Body Exercises

Simply concentrate on a small amount of full body exercises. You have to train it entirely as a single unit in order for your whole body to be strong. And also, you gain optimum hormone stimulation by training your entire body this way. Best workouts are Squats, Deadlifts, Overhead Press, and the Bench Press.

Second Rule: Give Attention To High Resistance

To build strength your lifts must be done with high resistance. This is done by lifting heavy weights (or doing bodyweight exercises with unfavorable weight distribution and poor leverage) and by maximally contracting (tensing) your muscles as you lift.

The goal is to obtain additional muscle fibers by:

1. Pressuring each muscle as hard as possible during the exercise and…

2. While keeping high tension lifting the weight as fast as possible.

Third Rule: Concentrate on Multiple Sets of Low Reps

Because strength is a skill you can’t go through it “sloppily.” Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Thus, you should practice being strong. All rep must be completed as utterly as possible (as stated by the above guidelines). Sustain the reps down so that you can stay mentally focused. Likewise, this will prevent you from getting exhausted and sloppy.

Therefore, lift heavy things as possible. While keeping fresh as possible.
