Volume Training For Muscle Growth
Posted by Dan
I believe in brief, intense workouts for most hard gainers.
But after you've stopped making gains with that kind of training, what do you do next?
The past 6 weeks I've been doing some higher volume, lower intensity workouts and they have been really effective for me...especially for losing body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
Constantly pushing yourself to the limit will not sustain consistent gains in muscular size or strength.
After 6 to 8 weeks on a brief high intensity training program, bodybuilders would be much better off if they reduced their intensity level and increased their volume of workload. New research has shown that muscular gains in size and strength are much more consistent if a bodybuilder only works to about 50% - 80% of his or her intensity level.
What this simply means is that if you can perform, for example, a bench press for say 10 reps with 200 lbs and 10 repetitions is all that you can do no matter how hard you try, then stopping on the seventh or eight rep would be training at an intensity level of 70% - 80% and stopping on the fifth rep would be a 50% intensity level.
The new research done on intensity is clearly showing that reducing the intensity level and increasing the volume of workload will still cause significant muscular stimulation without causing systematic burn out.
Muscle Express Training is based on the premise of reduced intensity and increased workload.
Why? Because it works.

If you've been stuck at a plateau in your training this just might be the program that coaxes your muscles into growing again.
