How to Develop Unmatched Size and Strength… Naturally!!
Thank you for searching for new ways to improve your overall size and strength. More importantly how you can achieve your goals without using any illegal and deadly drugs.
I am confidant the information you will receive from this article will help empower you on your quest for functional power and strength!
First things first… I am going to be outlining a plan that I know will work for you. How do I know it works you may be asking. Well… I have experienced the extraordinary results in my own life. I went from a 180 pound high school student to a 250 pound empowered adult… one who has achieved functional strength and power from utilizing this outline.
Alright… the first thing you need to do is visualize the person you wish to become. See your new self in your mind’s eye… see yourself after you have achieved the power and strength you desire… see yourself completing the workouts that will ensure your success… see yourself eating the healthy foods that will help assist you in achieving your fitness goals…see yourself making the small sacrifices that will transform your overall fitness level.
Now after you have visualized… it’s time to act on your dreams and visions.
Before you start to act… you must have the right plan or strategies so you can be successful.
Let me give you an example… Let’s say I am training my track athletes in the 100 meter dash. Each day we do drills to strengthen their bodies for the 100 meters. We work on getting out of the blocks efficiently and discuss strategies to help them be successful in the 100 meter dash.
Now… it’s race day! My athletes are excited and confidant in their own abilities to run the 100 meter race and run successfully. They have practiced their starts and know they are prepared for the race.
Right before the race… I approach my athletes and tell them instead of running the 100 meter race… they will be running the 2 mile run!
You can only imagine how they would feel. The point is this… it will not matter how much effort they put forth because they haven’t been exposed to the right strategies prior to the race. They are not prepared and will struggle with the 2 mile run.
So with all that being said… you need to have the right strategies to go with your great effort.
Let me give you the right plan… a plan that is proven to increase overall strength and power in your own life!
Here we go…
1. Embrace Compound Movements
What are compound movements?
Compound movements are movements that work multiple muscle groups throughout the exercise. These exercises help you get more “bang for your buck”… so to speak.
Why spend 3 hours in the gym working on wrist curls and tricep kickbacks… can you say…a waste of time?? That’s what isolation exercises will do for you…waste your time. If you want to get in and out of the gym and make the best gains you have ever experienced then keep reading. Now… if you like spending countless hours in the gym…hiding from the real world… stop reading this information and keep doing the same old routines…getting the same old results!
Good…you’re still with me!
Back to compound movements.
Here are a few movements that are tremendous for building overall size and strength.
Squats… Deadlifts… Dips… Chin-ups… Rows... Shoulder Press
I just described a few exercises that when done correctly… will most definitely transform your entire body. Each one of these exercises hits a number of muscle groups so you can stimulate more muscle fibers with less sets and repetitions.
2. Embrace Progression
Now that you have a few compound movements… you must embrace progression. That means each workout you need to add weight to the bar… you need to progress with your poundages. If you lift the same weight year in and year out… you will maintain your current size and strength.
I believe you continue to read this information because you are tired of the status quo and want to gain size and strength. If that is true…you must continue to add weight to the bar and push yourself.
3. Quit Over-Trainingr
If you are spending 2or 3 hours in the gym each workout… you’re over-training.
If you are working out more than 2 days a week … you’re over-training.
Remember… you are tearing down your body during each workout. Your body grows while you are resting…so stop over-training!
