When starting a weight training program, there are many things to take into consideration, especially if you want to see results. No nonsense personal trainer, Nick Mitchell, breaks it down for us and gives his expert advice on the basics of weight training, as well as some tricks of the trade.
Hi, my name is Nick Mitchell. I'm the owner of Ultimate Performance Personal Training, here in London. Today, we are going to talk about how to build muscle.
We are going to look at various different topics and cover everything that we can to help get you the muscle mass, the muscle development that you want and to give you all the little tricks of the trade that helps make this personal training business here the best in the business. We can be very simplistic in training or we can be very complicated. But, if you want me to boil it down to its very essence, what you must do is you must come into the gym on a regular but infrequent basis.
So that means three maybe four times a week maximum, and you must basically bust your balls in the gym. It's as simple as that. You've got to pick the right exercises.
You've got to pick the right training protocol. You've got to manage the variables and change the variables at appropriate timing. That's everything from loading weights, to rest intervals, to tempo, to exercise selection, to volume.
These are all very important and too detailed to go into in a video chat. But, the most important thing you must remember when you go into the gym is simply to train as hard and intensely as you can. Now, the things you must remember about training hard and training intensely.
Training intensely does not mean going to the gym picking up huge weights and flailing all over the place. It doesn't mean that. It means picking weights that you are in control of.
It means picking weights that will allow you to stimulate the muscle, not annihilate your joints and annihilate your body. My best advice is to always seek the wisdom of somebody with a little bit of gym experience. To teach you the intricacies of good form, good technique, and good program design.
You know these are not things that you learn like that and you don't learn it just by reading muscle and fitness, or men's health or any of these magazines. You must go there, you must do it and you must experiment, this is the key thing for you to do. So, just to wrap up what we must do in training.
Go in there; go very, very, hard; three to four times a week; one hour maximum, anything more than an hour for most trainees is just too much. And always try to strive to be stronger, whether you are lifting for two repetitions or you are lifting for twenty repetitions, you must always try to progress from workout to workout. Let's just say that twelve reps is your target.
Once you can do two or three sets with twelve reputations, you then increase the weight, maybe to a hundred and five pounds and then you go down to eight reps and then you work it up that way. This is a very simple way to do it, certainly for your first twelve months of training. It's by far the easiest and this is really all that you have to do in terms of training. .
