How to exercise to build muscles

Muscles are every man's dream, and muscles are also a sign of a strong man's body. This requires long-term exercise in daily life. It can usually be achieved through exercise with equipment. There are many methods for muscle training, and the methods for muscle training in different parts are also different. And when exercising muscles, we need to pay attention to the correct method. Let's learn about how to exercise to have muscles?

1. Heavy weight, low number of repetitions: In bodybuilding theory, RM is used to represent the maximum number of repetitions that can be done continuously with a certain load. For example, if an athlete can only lift a weight 5 times in a row, then that weight is his 5RM. Studies have shown that: 1-5RM load training can make muscles thicker and develop strength and speed; 6-10RM load training can make muscles thicker and improve strength and speed, but the increase in endurance is not obvious; 10-15RM load training does not significantly thicken muscle fibers, but strength, speed and endurance are improved; 30RM load training increases the number of capillaries in the muscles and improves endurance, but the improvement in strength and speed is not obvious. It can be seen that a load weight of 5-10RM is suitable for bodybuilding training to increase muscle volume.

2. Multiple sets: Whenever you remember to exercise, you do 2-3 sets. This is actually a waste of time and will not help you grow muscles. You must set aside 60 to 90 minutes to focus on training a certain part of your body, and do 8 to 10 sets of each movement to fully stimulate the muscles. At the same time, the muscles need a longer recovery time. Keep doing this until the muscles are saturated. The "saturation" is something you need to feel yourself. The appropriate standards are: soreness, swelling, numbness, firmness, fullness, expansion, and obvious thickness of the muscles.

3. Long displacement: Whether it is rowing, bench press, push-up, or curl, you must first put the dumbbells as low as possible to fully stretch the muscles, and then lift them as high as possible. This one sometimes conflicts with "continuous tension". The solution is to quickly pass through the "locked" state. However, I do not deny the role of heavy weight half-range movements.

4. Slow speed: Lift up slowly and then put down slowly to stimulate the muscles more deeply. In particular, when lowering the dumbbells, you should control the speed and do concession exercises to fully stimulate the muscles. Many people ignore concession exercises, and consider lifting the dumbbells as completing the task, and then put them down quickly, wasting a great opportunity to increase muscle size.

Through the above introduction, we now know how to exercise to build muscles. This is also something we need to pay attention to when doing fitness exercises in normal times. It is also a way to strengthen our body muscles. The only thing we need to pay attention to is that we need to persist for a long time, and the movements and postures must be correct.
