However, although both training methods belong to fitness, bodybuilders who like strength training often hate doing aerobic training, which is not uncommon in gyms now. Then why?
First, the purpose of fitness
Most fitness muscle men who do strength training aim to gain muscle and shape. When the purpose of fitness is established, the general fitness muscle man will spend more time on strength training than aerobic training, or the aerobic training time will be shorter. The main reason is that aerobic training does not promote muscle growth, but it can promote the reduction of body fat rate. A lot of aerobic training will also affect muscle growth and consume muscle content.
Second, muscle consumption.
Proper aerobic training can actually achieve a shaping effect, make your muscle contour more obvious and enhance your muscle beauty. However, excessive aerobic training will consume a lot of muscle glycogen, reduce muscle content and reduce muscle dimension. This is also the reason why many fitness muscle men are unwilling to carry out aerobic training. After all, they can't grow much muscle in a year, and then if they lose muscle because of aerobic training, everyone will really feel bad. Of course not all fitness muscle men.
Third, there is no time.
For most bodybuilders, most of them are office workers. Their fitness training time can be said to be squeezed out from their personal rest time. All fitness time is not too long, and it often takes at least 1 hour for a strength training to achieve a comparative effect. After this 1 hour, there may be no time to do other training. They all say there is not enough time.
In fact, many bodybuilders know that doing some aerobic training is helpful to their health and body shaping, but many people actually have no way to do aerobic training. Besides fear of lean muscles, more people think that aerobic training is more tiring and boring than strength training.
