1. Heavy weight and low frequency.
Strong and handsome
In bodybuilding theory, RM is used to indicate the maximum number of repetitions that a load can do continuously. For example, an exerciser can only lift a heavy object five times in a row, so the heavy object is 5RM. The research shows that: 1-5RM load training can thicken muscles and develop strength and speed; 6- 10RM load training can make muscles thick and strength speed increase, but endurance growth is not obvious; The muscle fibers of 10- 15RM were not obviously thickened, but their strength, speed and endurance were improved. After 30RM load training, the number of muscle capillaries increased, and the endurance was improved, but the strength and speed were not improved obviously. It can be seen that the load weight of 5- 10RM is suitable for bodybuilding training to increase muscle mass.
2. Number of groups
Whenever I think about exercise, I do 2 ~ 3 groups. In fact, it is a waste of time and I can't grow muscles at all. You must set aside 60 ~ 90 minutes to focus on a certain part, and do 8 ~ 10 groups for each movement, so as to fully stimulate the muscles, and the longer the muscles need to recover. Until the muscles are saturated, "saturation" should be felt by yourself, and the degree criteria are: acid, swelling, numbness, firmness, fullness and swelling, and the muscle shape is obviously thick.
3. Long displacement
No matter rowing, bench pressing or bending, you should first put the dumbbell as low as possible, so that the muscles can be fully stretched, and then raise it as high as possible. This article sometimes conflicts with "continuous tension", and the solution is to quickly pass the "locked" state. However, I don't deny the role of heavy half-course exercise.
draw bit
Lift up slowly and put it down slowly, which will stimulate the muscles deeper. Especially when putting down the dumbbell, we should control the speed and do concession exercises, which can fully stimulate the muscles. Many people ignore the concession movement, even if they lift dumbbells, they will soon put down their tasks and waste a good opportunity to increase their muscles.
5. High density
"Density" refers to the rest time between the two groups, and the rest time of 1 minute or less is called high density. To increase muscle mass rapidly, it is necessary to take less rest and stimulate muscles more. "Multi-group number" is also based on "high density". When you exercise, you should concentrate on training like a war, and don't think about anything else.
Read and move in step.
Muscle work is dominated by nerves, and concentration can mobilize more muscle fibers to participate in the work. When practicing an action, you should consciously keep your thoughts and actions consistent, that is, you should think about what muscles are at work when practicing. For example, to practice vertical bending, you should lower your head and look at your arms with your eyes, and see that the biceps brachii is slowly contracting. 7. Peak shrinkage
This is a main rule that makes muscle lines very obvious. It requires that when an action reaches the most tense position of muscle contraction, it should maintain the most tense state, do static exercises, and then slowly return to the starting position of the action. My method is to count 1 ~ 6 when you feel the most tense muscles, and then put it down.
8. Constant tension
The whole group of muscles should be kept tense. No matter whether the exercise starts or ends, don't let it relax (don't be in a "locked" state) and always reach complete exhaustion.
9. Relax between groups
Stretch and relax after each group of actions. This can increase the blood flow of muscle, and also help to eliminate the waste deposited in muscle, accelerate the recovery of muscle and quickly supplement nutrition.
10. Exercise more big muscles.
Exercising large muscles of chest, back, waist, buttocks and legs can not only make the body strong, but also promote the growth of muscles in other parts. Some people only practice their arms without other parts in order to thicken their arms, which will make the growth of biceps very slow. I suggest that you arrange some large-scale compound exercises with a large amount of exercise, such as heavy squats, which can promote the growth of muscles in all other parts. This is extremely important. Sadly, at least 90% people don't pay enough attention to it, so that they can't achieve the expected results. Therefore, in the training plan, we should arrange five classic compound movements: hard pull, squat, bench press and push-ups.
1 1. Eat protein after training.
In 30 ~ 90 minutes after the training, the demand of protein reached its peak, and the effect of supplementing protein was the best. But don't eat immediately after training, at least once every 20 minutes.
12. Rest for 48 hours.
After a local muscle training, you need to rest for 48 ~ 72 hours before you can carry out the second training. If high-intensity strength training is carried out, the interval between two trainings of local muscles is not enough, especially large muscles. But the abdominal muscle is an exception, which is different from other muscle groups and must be stimulated frequently, at least four times a week, each time about 15 minutes; Choose three exercises that are most effective for you, and do only three groups, 20-25 times in each group, all exhausted; The time interval between each group should be very short and should not exceed 1 minute.
13. Bright is better than false.
This is a secret that is not a secret. Many beginners pay special attention to the weight and the number of movements, and seldom pay attention to whether the movements are deformed. The effect of bodybuilding training depends not only on the weight of the load and the number of movements, but also on whether the muscles are directly pressured and stimulated. If the movement is deformed or not in place, the muscles to be trained will not be stressed or only partially, and the training effect is not great, or even deviation will occur. In fact, among all the laws, the correctness of action is always the first important. It is better to lift lighter weight with correct movements than to lift heavier weight with nonstandard movements. Don't compare with others, and don't take the ridicule of the gym to heart.
Edit this exercise method
The following exercise methods are for reference only, and the specific methods depend on individual circumstances.
biceps brachii
Strong and handsome
The biceps brachii protrudes forward of the upper arm. Basic action: 1, arms bent, this action can be standing or sitting, and there are various ways to lift dumbbells and barbells. The upper arm must be tightly attached to the armpit, and the hands should be bent as far as possible to the chest by using the contraction force of the biceps brachii. 2, backhand narrow grip pull-ups, but also use the strength of biceps brachii contraction to achieve the purpose of exercise. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times).
triceps brachii
Behind the upper arm is triceps brachii. Practicing triceps brachii well can make your arm muscles clear. Basic action: 1. There are two movements: lying flat on the wide stool with hands shoulder width apart, holding the barbell and lifting it, then slowly bending it back to the top with the elbow joint as the fulcrum, and then restoring the barbell to its original position with the help of the contraction force of triceps brachii. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times).
triangular
The muscles of the shoulder are deltoid muscles, which are divided into anterior bundle, middle bundle and posterior bundle. Basic movements: 1, toe adduction, holding dumbbells or barbells in front of you, holding them shoulder-width, and forcibly raising your arms to make them 90 degrees with your body (practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). 2. In the center sill, hold the dumbbell beside you and lift your arms from both sides to the top of your head. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). 3. At the back, hold the barbell shoulder-width with both hands, put the barbell behind your neck, straighten your arms and push the barbell up, then slowly bend your arms and put the barbell behind your neck and shoulders. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times).
abdominal muscle
Lumbar muscles and abdominal muscles are difficult to practice, so you have to work hard. Basic action: 1. Inclined sit-ups. I won't say much about this action. 2. Lift your legs on your back, lie flat on the bench, grab the stool head with both hands, lift your feet with the contraction of your waist and abdomen, and then bend your body. 3. From both ends, lie flat on the bench, straighten your upper arms and legs, swing your arms straight, take your hips as the fulcrum, close your upper body and legs at the same time, and touch your raised toes with your hands. 4. Bow the weight behind the neck, put the barbell behind the neck, slowly lean forward, make 90 degrees with the leg, and then use the waist strength to restore the original position. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times).
Femoral muscle
Basic movements: 1, squat with the center of gravity behind the neck, barbells crossed on the shoulders, feet open shoulder width, squat and breathe, and then stand up with the help of quadriceps. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). 2. Squat down with weight before the neck, pull out the barbell and put it on the clavicle before the chest, and bend your knees slowly until the thighs are closed and tightened. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). In order to increase the load, you can pad the heel with 5-6 cm of bricks or wood.
Leg muscles
The bodybuilding standard of calf muscles is to practice rhombus. Basic movements: 1, lift the heel, with two toes standing on a board or brick 5- 10 cm above the ground, slowly sink the heel into the ground first, then lift the heel and stand on tiptoe, improve the position of the body's center of gravity, and tighten the muscles of the buttocks and thighs. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times)
musculus pectoralis major
Pectoralis major is one of the larger muscles in human body, which is relatively easy to practice. Basic action: 1. A supine bird lies flat on its back on a wide stool, holding a dumbbell in each hand, raising both hands, and then slowly spreading to the sides, just like a bird flapping its wings to fly. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times) 2. Lie flat on the wide stool, lift the barbell with both hands, then slowly put it above the nipple, and then push hard. This action requires two people to cooperate and the other person to protect it. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). 3, push-ups to improve the difficulty, you can raise your feet to a 45-degree angle, put heavy objects on your back or neck for overload training, so that the pectoralis major muscles can be fully stretched. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times)
latissimus dorsi
With the development of latissimus dorsi, the human torso presents a "V" shape, like an open fan. Basic movements: 1, pull-ups, pull-ups and then widen your neck, don't shake your body, then bend your arms and pull-ups. This action is the most effective. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times) 2. Rowing vertically, the person's waist bends 90 degrees, hands hang down and hold the barbell, then pull the barbell up to the waist, hold it for a while, and exert force on the back. (Practice six groups, each group 12- 15 times). 3. Practice of special combined musical instruments.
Principles of nutrition
Nutrition is essential for everyone, and people engaged in bodybuilding training need adequate nutrition. Beginners often focus on training and ignore nutrition. In fact, without proper nutrition, any training is ineffective, so beginners should pay attention to the following five principles of bodybuilding nutrition: 1, and supplement enough heat energy: muscle growth consumes energy, and without enough heat, normal muscle growth cannot be guaranteed. 2. Replenish enough carbohydrates: In bodybuilding training, energy is mainly provided by glycogen, and the intake of carbohydrates can supplement glycogen, supply energy and prevent muscle decomposition caused by training. 3. Supplement high-quality protein raw materials: protein is the cornerstone of muscle composition and the foundation of muscle growth, so you must take high-quality protein every day to build muscles. 4. Promote synthesis and reduce decomposition: When muscle synthesis is greater than decomposition, muscle grows, and vice versa. Therefore, bodybuilders should pay attention to anti-muscle decomposition and promote protein synthesis. 5. Maintain proper hormone level: Growth hormone, insulin and testosterone in human body are very important for the synthesis of muscle protein. Diet and nutritional supplements can regulate hormone levels and stimulate muscle growth.
Nutrition strategy
Strategy 1: High-protein muscle for dinner can be obtained through routine weight-bearing training, high-protein diet and sleep. Suzuki Masaru Mao, a Japanese sports nutritionist, found that growth hormone, which promotes muscle growth, is secreted when people sleep. Growth hormone can guide amino acids in blood to muscle tissue, so that it can generate new muscle cells and repair damaged muscle cells. Therefore, bodybuilders should eat high-protein food at dinner or take amino acids before going to bed, so as to carry out the above muscle growth process more effectively and obtain stronger muscle blocks. Strategy 2: Eat high protein after training. Scientific research shows that weight-bearing training can also promote the secretion of growth hormone. Because the slight damage to muscle fibers caused by the exertion of weight-bearing training can stimulate the repair function in the body and promote the secretion of growth hormone and the synthesis of amino acids. After weight training, the secretion of growth hormone can last for about two hours. One or two hours after meals is the peak stage of protein absorption. Eating high-protein food after training can make the peak of growth hormone secretion caused by weight-bearing training consistent with the peak of protein absorption, which is more conducive to muscle growth. The static state of muscle tissue during sleep can further strengthen the above effects, thus getting twice the result with half the effort. Many bodybuilding champions have successfully used this strategy. They train twice a day, once before lunch (including a nap) and once before dinner (including staying up late). In this way, they provided two opportunities for growth hormone secretion and muscle growth in one day. No wonder they succeeded.
