Secure a balanced diet and recuperation
If you have been exercising for some time and do not notice the desired effects, or if you notice that the training has become monotonous, you can make it more efficient! Both fatigue from training and lack of results often lead to complete abandonment. What do you do if you are affected? Most of the time, we look for the causes of insufficient results or their absence in the training itself, while the results are mainly influenced by nutrition, supplementation, and recovery. Training is a stimulus – how someone recovers and what they eat determines the achieved results. If someone weakens their body, does not provide it with the right nutrients, overexerts themselves, and does not recover sufficiently, they will not notice any results, or they will not correspond to the efforts made during training. It is important to remember that both training and nutrition are independent. To optimize the effectiveness of work, both aspects must be taken into account. Training is muscle destruction, while the rest of the day is the time needed for recovery.
Adjust the training system to abilities and way of life
Some individuals take care of their diet, recovery, and supplementation, yet they do not observe the outcomes of their strenuous efforts. In such a situation, it is probable that the training program is not properly tailored to the potential and way of life of the trainer. It is then worth checking if the training includes too many sets for specific body parts or if the trainer is not dedicating too much time in the gym. Training should primarily bring joy, hence if a certain exercise does not suit a particular person, they should incorporate into their plan those that are most suitable for them. Exercises should not be carried out merely because they are endorsed by popular trainers - everyone is unique, anatomically structured differently.
Integrate reducing, additional, and combined series in your training plan
A reducing series is performed within one set by doing the planned number of repetitions, reducing the weight by 10–20%, and performing the maximum number of repetitions, repeating this process 2–3 times within the set. An additional series involves performing exercises for two antagonistic muscle groups, such as chest and back muscles, one after the other, transitioning directly from one set to the next without a rest period. A combined series, on the other hand, involves performing two exercises for the same muscle group one after the other, such as bench press and then rowing, without a rest period. These methods cannot form the basis of training, but they provide new stimuli to the body and make the training more attractive. Additionally, using these methods can reduce training time by up to 40%. Therefore, if someone has less time for training, they can apply one of these methods.
Repetition pace variation
The variation of pace or differentiation of speed in individual exercises constitutes highly effective methods to overcome stagnation and stimulate the body to adapt. The crucial factor is muscle tension time. When someone performs a repetition slower, the working time automatically lengthens. The pace in training plans is recorded, for example, as 3 1 3 0. The first number indicates the number of seconds of the eccentric movement phase, i.e., the descent phase, the next one is a one-second pause, then the next three seconds are performed, the concentric phase, which is the pressing of the weight, the last digit is the break time before the next repetition. Varying the pace in exercises increases intramuscular tension, which provides a new stimulus for development and is an excellent method for increasing strength. Among other benefits of using tempo changes in exercises are improvement or perfection of technique. Lesser weight and speed enable full control over the load and technique.
Modification of grip style in strength workouts
The modification of grip style in strength workouts provides the muscles with a new stimulus for growth and adds variety to the training. For instance, the bench press exercise can be performed in various grip styles, such as narrow grip, wide grip, underhand grip, or overhand grip. Each of these grip styles will have a different impact on muscle work. Particularly beneficial changes are those that involve smaller muscle groups, such as triceps, biceps, or forearms.
Modification in Load and Repetition Count
If you've previously been training within a range of 8 to 12 repetitions or more and are not satisfied with the results, consider increasing the load and reducing the number of repetitions to 5, or even 3. Every body is unique. What works for one may not work for another. It may turn out that a higher weight with fewer repetitions or vice versa is a better choice for some. If someone is training with a restricted range of motion and is not satisfied with the results, they should think about reducing the weight and increasing the number of repetitions. Maintaining training volume, or the total weight lifted during training, is key. It can be beneficial to periodically change the range of repetitions and the weight to see what works best for the individual body.
Enhance the effectiveness of your training!
As can be observed, there are numerous reasons why training may not yield the desired results. It is worthwhile to invest time in meticulously planning every aspect of training. Properly take care of nutrition, regeneration, and supplementation to provide the best possible conditions for muscle growth. Once you have mastered these fundamental elements, you can experiment with different training methods to provide your muscles with new growth stimuli. Sometimes, just changing the grip can make the muscles grow. Try out various techniques to boost the efficiency of your training.
