Routines to Increase Strength

May 7, 2010 · Posted in Exercise · Comment 

The following strength increase systems are meant for only those who follow strength training routines on a regular basis as they would be able to cope with the intensity in a much more comfortable manner.  

All training sessions meant to increase your strength should be begun with warm up exercises which help to release the stress from your muscles, which allows them to perform heavier exercises later on smoothly without incurring any injury.  

Muscles produce lactic acid which helps in the production and release of the Human Growth Hormone through out your body. This occurs when you are in the middle of an intense physical exercise, but at the same time, keep yourself hydrated. This is because dehydration causes muscles to become stiffer. Also, increase your intake of proteins as they help to in the building process of muscles.  

Take proper rest after your strength training session. A more rejuvenating sleep is ensured if you maintain a proper routine of your training sessions, and you may also use Melatonin to regulate your sleeping patterns.  

There are basically two styles of strength training routines:

Super Set Protocol basically refers to a group of two strength training routines which are performed together without taking any break. But only one Super Set Protocol should be performed focusing on one muscle group.  

Drop Set Protocol refers to an extreme muscle bulking, which revolves around the concept that the demand for a muscle by your body increases; it will automatically increase the mass of the muscle compensating the amount of demand. Drop Set Protocols require a proper diet and increased intake of water.  

Start by using weight measures comparing them routinely for a particular muscle. Remove two or three weight measures from your lifting machine, and place them where you can easily access them. Continue lifting the weights until your muscles have completely worn out, and you can not continue further. Then start with the other weight measures that you kept aside and continue lifting till your second muscle wears out completely. Then repeat the entire routine.  

While performing these routines, take care to avoid muscular strain or exhaustion. While your body has the ability to get used to the harshness, but continue modifying your weight lifting routines on a more frequent basis, to increase your strength and energy levels.

Various muscles in your body have different functions, and understanding how to increase your body strength is essential before you start going to the gym or opt for a complex physical fitness exercise session. Here are certain tips that will help you achieve your full strength potential.  

Firstly, focus on your reps. Ensure the reps are orderly and smooth. Understand the rules and routines that deal with concentration while doing reps. Following the routine would ensure that the tension in your muscles increases which will allow a smooth transition between the phases of reps.  

Secondly, retain the tension on your muscle for relatively longer periods. Your reps are successful if you maintain proper tension on the muscles being exercised. But avoid motions that result in bouncing, dropping of weights or jerks. 

Also, use weights that you know your body will be able to handle without enduring a relatively more painful fall out on your muscles. This is especially important if you a regular gym visitor, the weights you carry should not at all exceed the upper body strength. If at any stage you feel that your body is unable to properly command the weights, the weights you are holding are just above the threshold level that your body can tolerate.  

While performing a particular exercise at the gym, ensure that you work through a uniform manner. Start from your neck, onto your torso, then your arms, back and then the legs. Concentrate on different muscles on separate days in a week in order to achieve optimum results. Ignoring this important fundamental will end up straining your muscles and you will not be able to acquire the certain balance of your body.  

Lastly exercise regularly and progressively. Exercising after long or infrequent breaks will just end up over loading your muscles, and thus resulting in loss of strength. It also causes muscles to get strained, and you the pain can become more chronic.  

If you follow the above fundamentals of Gyming, you will not only avoid straining your body, but also increase your strength.
