Your training has to be big if you want to become big. You won’t get results by going to gym and not even breaking a sweat. It’s all about overloading your muscles with heavy weights and intensity to get real results. Even though hard and heavy training might be good for your muscles, remember that it can spell trouble for the health of your connective tissue and joints. It’s important to remember that this is inherent in intense weight training, so even though there are no guarantees that you can avoid injury, you can certainly take steps to lessen those odds. Getting injured is hugely problematic, as you will have to stop muscle-building until you heal.
Prepare your mind and body for the work to come with this simple 15,20 minute process; it will increase blood flow into the surrounding connective tissue and lubricate your joints. Do 5 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before each workout, and then 4,5 warm-up sets for the first major exercise routine. You must always use weights that you can handle and control with proper form, and if you start piling on the plates to impress the people around you, you’ll be stretching your limits and putting yourself in a very vulnerable position.
