TRAINING TIPS FOR BODYBUILDING:
One thing that's often overlooked
is that you can't ALWAYS train hard!
You have to balance periods of high
intensity training with periods of
low intensity training. Each of your
muscles require a different length
of rest time between workouts. Your
larger muscles need longer recovery
time than your smaller ones; short
workouts are easier to recover from
than long workouts; and, your fast-twitch
muscles (the ones that give you explosiveness)
take longer to recover than your slow-twitch
muscles (the ones you use for endurance).
Here's a list of recovery facts to
remember:
* Big muscles take longer to recover
than smaller ones.
* Fast twitch muscles take longer
to recover than slow twitch.
* Guys recover faster than girls.
* You recover faster from slow movements
than from fast movements.
* You recover faster from low intensity
training than from high intensity
training. * Young people recover faster
than older folks.
* Recovery is speeded up considerably
by eliminating (reducing) the "negative"
or "eccentric" portion of the lifting
movement.
* Sound nutrition and ample rest allow
for more rapid recovery.
