I have written a few articles about easy muscle building and I would like to share a technique that can add a whole new dimension to your muscle building workouts. This training strategy is know as slow-motion training. I have incorporated it from time to time in my own routines with great results and muscle gains. The central idea behind this style is that you will be taking a full minute to do one rep.
An example would be if you were doing a bench press: Take 30 seconds to lower the bar and 30 seconds to go to lockout. Another example, when doing a curl: It takes 30 seconds from a hanging position to a contracted position, then 30 seconds to the extended position again. A good way to pace yourself is to verbally count the seconds off. All exercises would be performed in this fashion.
Please leave your ego at the door because with this style of training you will probably only be able to use about 30% of your normal exercise poundage. This is about building muscle using a new concept. Make sure to keep your sets and reps on the low side (3x3). Be prepare to feel a burn and muscle soreness like never before! I can tell you from personal experience that three sets of three one-minute reps was about all I could endure.
This is a great change of pace and the type of training that can be used from time to time to get you up and growing again. Until next my next article, please feel free to visit my Easy Muscle training site or Email me to ask any training questions --- Not getting the results you want with your exercise program.? One of the best programs that I have found is Right Here It can get you on the right path to pack on the muscle maybe save you years of wasted effort.
