Welcome to tips on resistance training training for enhanced muscular development.

Important Tips

This post is about how to develop increased musculature thru weight lifting that will go beyond your expectations especially if your efforts have not met your expectations in spite of ambitious training. Ask your self this question next time you go to the gym, how many people around you have trained rigorously for years are injured or have had few gains to show for their effort.

What You Need To Know First

Before I share any special secrets on how to greatly enhance your physical strength and muscularity. The most important issue before embarking on any weight lifting adventure remains that you must understand the importance of biomechanics also referred to as form in order to become injury resistant.

Know Your Bones – Learn Proper Bio-Mechanics To Avoid Injury.

Bio mechanics or form remain critical in weight training in relationship to the infrastructure of the body to include muscles, joints, bones, and tendons and their proper function under repetitive and high intensity stress. Or how various parts of the body work together during all phases of movement towards avoiding being hurt and getting strong.

This is the smartest, best approach to offset the chance injuries. Sadly almost all new people attempt to understand how to work out by searching, for any body in their surroundings who appear to know what their doing. This is a big mistake!

Do They Really Know?

Many gym veterans who look the part lift compromised with assorted injuries because they don’t understand the finer points of biomechanics due to the unfortunate fact that nowhere did they ever learn the dynamics of movment to protect their joints. Working without properly applied form is like jogging with ones running shoes knotted together week after week doggedly falling banged and bruised until the suffering exceeds the will to continue. In other words paying club dues to effectively ruin all joints only to end up unnecessarily injured and upon getting older ending up a knot of arthritis.

Some Consideration About Fitness Clubs Vs Home Equipment.

A club with sound equipment remains superior to no club at all and is recommended over home gyms. When considering joining a new club look around and make sure that the machines and equipment are functional, meaning properly bolted, screwed and secured, not necessarily new and that the management is conscientious. A poor club is one with incompetent staff, insufficient machinery, filthy, weights not racked and not enough weights to go around especially if you need to be there during populated rush hour schedules.

Check It Out

One day I check out this club and I notice that their leg press machine weight tops out at 400lbs. Any one who trains high intensity knows this as a warm up or even mid range weight.

Statistically many hard lifting body builders press beyond in 400 lbs. The point; the management does not know enough about their own industry. Its just a money making machine, and their clients are inadvertently abused either through ignorance or apathy.

Get What You Need

The quality of a health club defines the scope of your workouts. Health clubs tend to be better in more cosmopolitan areas due to the competition for your business.

Sales People

Beware of high pressure sales managers manipulating you in to protracted contractual agreements until you get to know how much you like a perspective club, the people there, if their programs are desirable and if your considering a trainer, having the time and latitude to observe who you will be best for you.

Home Equipment

I have never liked home gyms In my professional opinion the best of home gyms remain inferior to industry gym equipment.

Why?

Home equipment is flimsier, less stable and provides less resistance. Of course any thing is better then nothing. If you are serious and want to get in great shape join a club and don’t look back.

Ok Already

If you want a modest pump and are unable to make it to the gym, home equipment will suffice, but please purchase the best. Anything else is a complete waste of money.
