Fascinating how most workout programs meant to help you put on weight and increase muscle mass mainly target lifting heavy loads in each exercise, whether or not they realize it or not.
The belief is that your bodybuilding coaching program should consist of sets in the 6-10 rep range, which reportedly is best for building strength and size. Appears like most exercise programs focus on what I call the numbers game ( which is targeting generally on lifting heavy weights, understanding your one rep max, pc.s of that, and having the ability to lift more weight, aka numbers ) rather than depending more off feeling what's occurring in the muscle itself.
Let me make it awfully clear, if you would like to increase muscle weight and build mass you want to concentrate on what is happening within the muscle, not outside. It's simply a tool to help achieve a goal, in our case gain muscle not always strength.
As you train a muscle, go off what you are body's informing you, go off its feedback. One of the main feedbacks you need to have a look for ( essentially feel for ) when working out is : do you feel a burning or painful sensation in the muscle while in the middle of coaching it? When you're performing rep after rep, you can start to feel that burning sensation deep inside that particular muscle.
That's the formation of lactic acid. How does lactic
acid form? Let's imagine you are completing a specific quantity of reps on a specific exercise.
As you do rep after rep, less fresh blood is permitted to go into the muscle since you are not allowing enough time for the blood which has already been sent there to leave the muscle, and letting new muscle in. When blood isn't authorized to leave the muscle, it starts to back up. As it backs up, it builds pressure. As the pressure builds, you start to feel and see what everybody calls the pump ( which, BTW, is another critical feedback from the muscle that I could be discussing in a future article ).
Now, as all that blood starts to back up, it simply sat in the muscle it isn't circulating back to the lungs and heart. As a result, the blood inside that muscle no longer has any oxygen.
The lower the quantity of oxygen in the blood that is backed up within the muscle, the bigger the quantity of lactic acid that is made.
Lactic acid formation is a clear result of a low oxygen concentration in the blood of that muscle collection. The burning sensation / discomfort you are feeling in the muscle is a result of having really low levels of oxygen in the muscle and exaggerated levels of lactic acid. Low oxygen = High lactic acid Now, what does lactic acid..that so called burning feeling.
So when trying to gain weight and muscle mass it is important that you understand that you don't need to feel the burn to rip the muscle, you just need to lift hard and heavy.
