No other sport is really comparable to the weight: for a few seconds, you will focus on a muscle or group of muscles, a powerful effort hit by a heavy load!
The result will damage your muscle mass and force him to recover.
Because the weight is not more complicated than that! The effort will force the body to rebuild muscle mass to meet your needs muscle power for the next session for future efforts.
To rebuild and improve your muscles, your body will need protein (the main component of muscle) and if you bring him a large amount of protein, your body will rebuild your muscles bigger, using the amount of protein available in your organization.
If the process (and popularized) is simple, the implementation of this process is not so simple, everything is a matter of dosage, both trainings, meetings, exercises, and loads of nutrition.
Load (weight) is important, even inseparable from the concept of bodybuilding.
If you do not load your exercise, you are not doing weight training, but the Cardio
If you do not charge enough, it is not the weight, but the Fitness!
Ex: A series of 100 repetitions for the abdominal crunch is cardio, not weight training!
If you think you can develop abdominal "chocolate" with this type of exercise is missed!
By cons, 4 sets of 4 reps Crunch, with a weight of 10 kg (maintained by the hands behind the head), are effective in developing your abdominal muscles, but not hundreds of repetitions vacuum ...
In the same way, all exercises "empty" (some very popular and wrongly for bodybuilding), such as pumps, are also Cardio / Fitness, they improve your cardio-pulmonary capacity, but do not develop your body muscle.
Strength training is divided into several phases, the main ones are:
- Muscle mass: development of muscle volume in combination with a suitable protein nutrition.
- Drying: an effective method to absorb the "fat pockets" (belly, love handles, saddlebags, etc. ..), in combination with a suitable protein nutrition.
- Power and endurance: to improve endurance, strength and tone strengthen and improve the design of the muscle.
