Resistance Training
Hey there! A lot of online training program can burn you out. Not ours!
Here's some key to growth
Simplicity is Key: We're all about making you stronger using easy-to-follow steps. Good technique is our jam!
Weekly Wins : Each week, aim to beat your own records. When you do better each week, trust me, results will show.
Every 8 weeks, expect some your workout to level up. This gives you enough time to learn, grow, and maximize gains from each routine. Plus, it keeps things exciting to look forward to. Your program is not supposed to change every day or week. You need to use a program for minimum 6-8weeks at least
We change the focus sometimes, we focus on getting you stronger at different lifts like sometimes your main lifts will come from squat or military press. This helps target specific skills.
Our main goal is to Progressive overload.
What Is Progressive Overload You may Have this Question, Don't Worry I Will Explain it here :
To make muscles grow, gain strength, or improve performance, our body must face challenges greater than before. This means exposing it to more stress than it's used to. This concept is known as the "progressive overload principle."
How to progressively overload?
1. Increase Weight : Gradually add weight to your exercises. Begin with small increments to ensure safety even 0.25kg/1.25kg/2.5kg is a good add!
2. Increase Repetitions : If you've been doing 10 reps, try going up to 12 or 15 with the same weight.
3. Increase Sets : Add another set to your workout routine for a given exercise.
4. Increase Frequency : If you're working out two times a week, consider adding another day.
5. Time Under Tension : Slow down your repetitions, particularly the eccentric (or lowering) phase. For instance, take 3-4 seconds to lower the weight.
6. Range of Motion : Perform exercises through a full range of motion, or try variations that involve a deeper range.
7. Advanced Techniques : Incorporate techniques like drop sets, supersets, or pyramid sets.
8. Track Progress : Keep a workout log on your app to monitor weights, reps, and sets. This will help ensure you're continuously progressing.
9. Listen to Your Body : While pushing your limits, be sure to avoid overtraining. Recovery is crucial to making consistent progress.
Remember, the key is consistent, gradual progression. Sudden large increases can lead to injury, so always prioritize safety.
Tip - too many people get sucked in focusing on form - this can always be refined. It is important to carry out an exercise safely and effectively and better form will produce better results but master the basics. - Once the foundations on the house are in place - do not be afraid to start laying the bricks
(i.e. building up weights.)
7 Basic Training Guidelines
1. Breathe: Exhale during the exertion phase and inhale during the release.
2. Track Your Progress: Use the app to note down weights, sets, rests, and other details for every workout session.
3. Gradual Progression: Increase the weights or reps in each session, but do so gradually. Opt for smaller increases, like 1.25kg or 2.5kg. For machines that have large weight jumps, consider adding smaller weights. Always prioritize proper form over lifting heavy.
3. Activation Exercises: Before diving into any exercise, do activation workouts to establish a mind-muscle connection. This not only maximizes your training efficiency but also enhances your experience over time.
4. Warm-Up Wisely: The duration needed for warm-up sets varies among individuals. While 10-15 minutes suffices for some, others may require up to 30 minutes, especially if they have rehab needs. Remember to save your energy for the main workout and use warm-up sets to prepare, not exhaust yourself.
5. Master the Basics: Ensure you have a strong foundation in every exercise. Prioritize stability and patience as you learn.
6. Maintain Perfect Form: Achieve and consistently hold onto impeccable form. Once mastered, you can gradually shift to heavier weights. Regularly consult exercise guides and videos to review and refine your technique.
7. Trust Your Instincts: If an exercise feels wrong, it probably is. Consult with a trainer when in doubt. Consider filming yourself to check for proper form. If something feels off, assess if it's due to incorrect form, inadequate rest, or excessive weight.
7 Common Training Mistakes To Not Repeat
1. Value Your Rest: Avoid rushing between sets. A sweaty session doesn't necessarily mean an effective one. Take adequate breaks to recharge, refocus, and prepare for the next set.
2. Choose the Right Training Partner: Partner up with someone who motivates you and aligns with your fitness goals. Ideally, select someone in better shape or with similar aspirations to ensure they challenge you and ensure safety during workouts.
3. Stay Focused: The gym is a place to work on your body and mind. Avoid distractions, especially from your phone. It's unsafe and can be disrespectful to a training partner.
4. No changing workout program every week or burning yourself out with numerous workout. Be Patient- Progress takes time, recovery takes time, fat loss starts with nutrition and strength gains aren't always linear. Consistency and patience are key.
5. Stop winging it and start prioritizing Intensity. Instead of doing numerous exercises with very little effort, bring your utmost intensity to every set you perform.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink enough water before, during, and after workouts.
7. Safety First : Use safety equipment like belts, straps, or squat racks when needed. Always have a spotter for heavy lifts.
Remember, lifting is as much about mental strength and discipline as it is about physical strength. Approach it with respect, dedication, and patience.
Understanding Supplements:
A Simplified Guide -
Health Supplements
Most supplements you find aren't very useful and just cost you money. They are meant to support a good diet and exercise, not replace them. If your diet and exercise aren't good, supplements can't fix that. They're a small extra help, not the main solution! It's best to choose quality supplements that are based on real science and have the right dosage needed. Once the nutrition and lifestyle is in place, having supplements enhance 10% of the process
The Supplements Worth Your Attention:
1. Fish Oils:
- What's the deal? Most people are lacking in omega-3s.
- Benefits : Beyond heart health and reducing blood pressure, they boost muscle function and recovery.
2. Vitamin D:
- What's the deal? Known as the 'sunshine vitamin,' many in sun-deprived regions may be deficient.
- Benefits : It sharpens mental functions, boosts immunity, strengthens bones, and enhances testosterone. Moreover, it's linked to a reduced risk of several serious health conditions. A daily dose of 2000IU is recommended.
3. Magnesium:
-What's the deal? Magnesium is essential! It's an important electrolyte, just like sodium, and plays a key role in processing carbohydrates in our body. In simple words t's an important salt, like the one we eat, and helps our body use carbs (like bread and rice) for energy.
- Benefits : Magnesium is a mineral our body needs for many functions like managing sugar levels, making proteins, and controlling blood pressure. Because we lose magnesium when we sweat, people who exercise a lot might need more of it. Taking magnesium supplements, especially magnesium glycinate, before bedtime can help, as it also aids sleep.
This mineral is as important as sodium in our body and helps manage energy from carbs. Many are low in magnesium, so adding it to their diet, especially women taking birth control pills, can also benefit sleep and heart health.
In Conclusion:
Focus on the basics first: a balanced diet, a regular workout routine, and proper recovery. Once these are in place, opt for science-backed supplements from trusted brands. Use them as the icing on your health cake, and remember, it's always about the bigger picture! Happy supplementing!
Performance Supplements
1. Whey Protein
Whey protein is a top-quality protein source. It's easily absorbed by our body, dissolves well, and is rich in essential muscle-building blocks, especially one called leucine. Since whey is digested fast, taking it after a workout can help our muscles recover quickly. Studies show that combining whey with exercise can help both beginners and regular gym-goers build more muscle. As you get more experienced in training, adding whey protein can help you see better muscle growth. So, including whey protein in your diet is a handy and cost-effective way to support building your aesthetic physique goals.
2. Creatine
Creatine (Creapure)
Our bodies naturally have creatine which helps in energy production. Research says it boosts performance, reduces tiredness, and helps recovery. It can improve your workout and the benefits you get from it. With creatine, you might improve your performance by up to 20%. Experts say creatine is very effective for high-intensity workouts and muscle growth. Among various types of creatine, the monohydrate version is the most recommended. While some foods like red meat contain it, supplements offer the ideal amount. About 5g daily is recommended. I often have it right before workout to remember taking it. Take it every day.
3. Caffeine
Caffeine boosts both your body and mind. It helps in focus, fat burning, and improves endurance. It peaks in the bloodstream about 90-100 minutes after taking and lasts 3-4 hours. Take 3-6 mg/kg around 30 minutes- hour before working out. Start with a small dose to see how your body reacts. Morning will be the best. Avoid taking your pre-workout or caffeine after 12pm. Also, don't consume too late in the day as it may disturb sleep. If you love coffee, it's just as effective.
