I get that occasionally. It offers a prompt to login though. When you enter your usename and password it directs you to the link aftward.

They should work now. They were lacking the domain suffix www before. It should've still worked, but I edited the post.

Hi, I have a question about the importance of resting time and consistent improvement of exercises. I am trying to gain lean muscle (no shit, right), and my strategy right now is to rest two full days between exercising each muscle group. Unfortunately, I am having trouble bumbing up the next level. I have been told that if you don't lift more weight or more reps at each workout than the last one, you are wasting your time. For example, if I did 4sets of 10 reps with a shoulder press, then I would need to do at least 4 sets of 11 reps the next time. So basically, I am kind of stuck with most of my exercises. Any suggestions?

Maybe you need to lift heavier, or work on generating more power, to induce more neural adaptations. Maybe you need to periodize. Maybe you just need a change.

You aren't going to be able to improve every single session. You don't even necessarily have to try. I back off and deload every 6 weeks or so. Most of the time you should strive to improve, but if everyone were able to improve every single session then we would all be benching 800 pounds after several years, but this obviously isn't the case.

Andalite · 04-19-2006, 05:48 AM

training is supposed to be improving after TIME... not in one day... or workout....

Leever · 05-02-2006, 08:32 PM

Resting time is a great thing to do on the weekend and also for body parts. I do one body part a day with two exercises per day. I also do cardio in the morning as-well. I found what works for me is to shock my system by not doing the same exercise for a total of three weeks. I have a cycle that I will do a different pair of exercises for three week total and then the fourth week I start all over again. This allows ample time for my muscles to recover from each kind of exercise. With this method, I see an increase in weight almost every time. It varies from time to time all depending on how much sleep I got the night before and what I have been eating. You can see what I am talking about if you go to my blog and scroll down to the first entry which is at the bottom of the page.

That's a pretty good strategy mate.

thanks

thnks

m11 · 06-24-2009, 11:20 AM

alexvega,

Lifting heavy is relative to each person. Don't worry if your numbers are less than what they were in the past. Keep training hard and you'll be back to where you were.

However, proper diet is crucial to adding mass. To gain weight you need to increase your caloric intake. It doesn't matter how hard you are training if you are not eating enough.
