Muscle Growth, The 60 Seconds That Make The Difference
The margin of time that determines muscle building success or failure in the gym is a heck of a lot shorter than you might think. Just as fraction-of-a-second moments during a 100 metre dash will make or break a sprinter's race, fraction-of-a-second moments will also make or break your body's muscle growth response in the gym.
That's right, your workout session maybe lasts for about an hour, but there's a small fraction of time in your session that really matters and that's something you have to know in order to achieve the best results. How you handle that seconds would mean poor, mediocre or great results.
Although each entire workout will last for about an hour, only 60 seconds of that actual time will determine what kind of gains you achieve. How does it works? Well, the first reps in your set means just a little bit than nothing in terms of muscular growth. However, they play an important role.
Then, reps 1-4 are only performed in order to get to reps 5 and 6, the ones that really matter in the bodybuilding process. The first ones, do very little in terms of stimulating muscular growth.
The important thing is to overload your muscles in the last reps. Muscles respond to stress, and there is no more stressful moment for your muscles than the moment at the end of your set.
There is simply no better way to trigger your body's adaptive responses than to train until your muscles cannot move the weight another inch.
The closer and closer that you can come to muscular failure, the more dramatically your body will respond. This time frame is literally measured in single seconds. If you drop the weights 5-6 seconds earlier than the next guy (the margin is probably even smaller than this), you'll be significantly sacrificing your muscle growth.
So, your success will be measured by this really short period of time, and the amount of effort you are willing to exert during this time.
It really is true; your bodybuilding success is literally measured by the short, precise moments at the very end of each set and the amount of effort you are willing to exert during this time.
If you can force yourself to train to all out muscular failure, you'll achieve the best results possible. If you drop the weight 3 seconds before muscular failure, your growth will be compromised. If you drop the weight 8 seconds before muscular failure, your growth will be compromised even further.
If you can't move the weight another inch, if your muscles ache and you feel them burning, you are going in the right direction to true muscular failure.
Every time you give up and take a rest, even if it's just for a couple of seconds, you compromise your gains. Keeping this in mind at all times in the gym and will give you the better results than ever before. - 17273
