A huge part of muscle building is weight training. Weight training is carried out in order to effectively tear our muscle fibres by apply direct force threw weights. In simple terms, to adapt and repair the muscles are responsibilities of our body when our muscles tear, while repairing them the muscle will grow to compensate for the heavy load that was applied to it. By this way, we get stronger and our muscles grow.
When first starting in a gym it is important to stick to basic compound movements. Compound movements are exercises that use more than one muscle group. By using the lifts it allows us to focus on our whole bodies development. Compound exercises are pr-oven to be most effective in muscle building with weight training. Exercises such as bench press,dead lift, squat, lat pull-down are all great examples of exercises using more than one muscle group.
In a program for muscle building with weights it is vital that we stick to the more mass building exercises and distance ourselves from isolation exercises, The reason being that in a compound movement based program we will be lifting double the amount of weight total, in the whole workout than we would for an isolation workout.
So for example we may complete 5 compound movements and lift a total weight of 1000 kilograms, compared to one compound movement and 4 isolation exercises we may only lift 500 kilograms. Isolation exercises are those that only really on the one muscle to perform the movement. A bicep Curl would be a prime isolation lift.
Rest is extremely important to weight training in particular with building muscle. With trying to gain weight we tend to stay away from any cardiovascular training due to the fact we wont to retain any excess calories. So with that being said we should only exercise 3 days a week. This chosen program is important because it gives us enough time to grow and recover before completing the next workout.
