What You are Doing Wrong with Your Workout

[Mamic82]

Wrong! Read some of Chad Waterbury's work. He recommends you lift as fast as possible to get the best strength gains.

lol, everyone says different things. Most bodybuilders say that you should have a slower speed to gain most muscle.

[Loomr]

Bicep curls in general are a waste of time.

The bodybuilding methodology has spread out and has been marketed for the white collar office workers to save their health.

I disagree. Why train isolating moves when you could train your body as a whole unit, as it was meant to be working.

Tell you what. You go to a gym and observe old folks. The old bodybuilders have all lost their muscles, and in general are stiff or just absent from the gym.

[Loomr]

The old powerlifters have injuries all along and especially the benchpressers have jacked up shoulders.

The light machine exercisers barely can sit up from the machines and look just fragile and weak.

I find the that the ex- olympic lifters and track and field athletes who train in moderation, but train _usefull, working_ exercises are in best shape mentally and physically.

[LamaPaj]

The body can only take so much, so most athletes who are competing on elite level get injured and have problems the rest of their life.

That being said, there's a smith machine right behind him. Nuff said.

Good tips but dont forget to get big you need a certain amount of weight and your need to chalange your self each workout!

[ty99999returns]

Look you need to do explosive movements for some exercise going slow with heavy weigh can be bad for your joints so the second tip I would say wheres the evidence? In a sincere manner.

[yamanutrition]

the only reason that can cause bad joint with slow heavy weigh is when you lock and do the full movement.. like in triceps and bench press...

DARIN STEEN!

[Loveseekingmissile]

excellent advice. I worked out for 10 years before I finally settled for this type of workout. I had to learn the hard day.

Lifting slowly trains the body to move slowly which is not natural. Three sets and 5-10 reps is a bodybuilding or hypertrophy workout. Muscle endurance, maximal strength, strength endurance, power and power endurance are other types of strength that require heavier or lighter weight and more or fewer reps and sets.

GOOD INFO DR. MERCOLA!

[moviedude22]

perfect time for me to be hearing this information. Thanks Dr. Mercola!!!!

[ty99999returns]

Lifting weights is a survival mechanism. You need to have somewhat heavy weigh obviously not too heavy. Idk about the second thing I have heart good and bad about it but I'd say give each way a try for about 1-2 months or w/e and see witch is best for YOU.

[Datadayne]

Is this for strength or for size. 5x5 is for strength 3x8-12 is for size what is circuit training for?

[Koryuhoka]

This is for strength and endurance.
