Are You Getting the Muscles You Want OR Are You Overlooking One Fundamental Factor In Your Muscles Exercise? (Part 2)

In order to develop maximum strength research shows that slow-speed lifting done with heavy weights has a distinct advantage over high-speed lifting. By slowing down the movement there is an increase in duration of the stimulus and the level of tension on the muscle; this increases the development of the muscle and the muss. Research also shows that varying the speed of muscles exercise instead of keeping it constant has a greater impact.

One thing to bear in mind when altering the speed of muscles exercise is that only athletes that have a solid base of maximum strength should apply this type of technique, at the beginning is better to perform slowly and develop the muscles slowly into it. For bodybuilders though it is safe and advisable to alter the speed of training to create maximum adaptation. Fact remains that slow speed muscles exercise make the muscle work harder but at the same time slow speed muscles exercise should not be the only way to exercise as muscle requires a variety of stimuli.

Another important muscles exercise principal to understand is “Rest Intervals” and that there is an inverse relationship between rest and raps: The more reps, the lighter the weight and the smaller the rest. It seams though that the nervous system cell takes longer to recover then the muscle cell meaning that the nervous system is not fully recovered to effectively activate the muscle fibers accountable for growth. Counting Repetitions for maximum muscles exercise results is important but is also important to know how long you rest between exercises hence calculating how long it takes for a complete set.

By combining good muscles exercise practice, and a good and balanced between these factors will produce a much more favorable result.
