The Muscle Building Fiction Guide
Below is a short list of body building fiction if youve been training. Once you learn the truth about muscle fiction you will be able to accelerate your muscle building program with the Vince Delmonte Muscle Building Program.
To get a program to overcome the above muscle fiction get a prgraom from the Vince Delmonte No-Nonsense Body Building Program
1. 12 Rep rule
Most weight training programs include this much repetitions for gaining muscle. Truth is this approach places the muscles with not enough tension for effective muscle gain. High tension e.g. muscle growth is provided through heavy weights in which the muscle grows much larger, leading to the maximum gains in strength. Endurance is improved due to having longer tension time boosts the muscle size by generating the structures around the muscle fibers.
The standard prescription of eight to 12 repetitions provides a balance but by just using that program all of the time, you do not generate the greater tension levels that is provided by the heavier weights and lesser reps, and the longer tension achieved with lighter weights and more repetitions. To stimulate all types of muscle growth; change the number of reps and adjust the weights to stimulate all types of muscle growth.
2. Three Set rule
The truth is there’s nothing wrong with three sets but then again there is nothing amazing about it either. The number of sets you perform should be based on your goals; not on a half-century old rule. More repetitions you do on an exercise, the fewer sets you should do, and vice versa. This ensures the total number of repetitions done of an exercise equal.
3. Three to four exercises per group
The truth is this is a waste of time. With twelve reps of three sets combined, the total number of reps amount to 144. If your doing this much reps for a muscle group your not doing enough. Try doing 30 to 50 reps, instead of doing too many varieties of exercises. Generally, that can be anywhere from 2 sets of 15 reps or 5 sets of 10 reps.
4. My knees, my toes
It is a gym folklore that you “should not let your knees go past your toes." You are likely to cause injury by leaning forward a little too much. In 2003, Memphis University researchers confirmed that knee stress was almost thirty percent higher when the knees move beyond the toes during a squat.
Hip stress increased nearly 10 times or (1000 percent) when the forward movement of the knee was restricted. Because squatters needed to lean their body forward and that forces the strain to transfer to the lower back.
Your upper body position should be the focus and less on the knee. When doing squats and lunges keep the torso in an upright position as much as possible. This means a reduction on the stress generated on the hips and back. To stay upright, before squatting, squeeze the shoulder blades together, hold them in that position; then as you squat, keep the forearms 90 degree to the floor.
5. Lift weights, draw abs
The truth is the muscles work in groups to stabilize the spine, and the most important muscle group change depending on the type of exercise. The transverse abdominis isn't always the most important muscle group. For most exercise, the body automatically activates the muscle group that are needed most for support of the spine. If you focus only on the transverse abdominis, it can recruit wrong muscles and limit the right muscles. This increases the risk of injury, and reduces the weight that can be lifted.
