Strength training is a set of physical exercises for the development of
skeletal muscle to gain more athletic strength, endurance or muscle
volume. In these exercises, a force objected repeatedly to the force
generated by the contraction of muscles. The activity of the training is
the basis for the practice of bodybuilding and weightlifting, but it is
also a physical training for many sports that require strong physical
condition. The fresh weight is also part of many to improve fitness or
methods of care methods.The basic principles of weight training are the
same, it is practiced to increase muscle mass (bodybuilding) to increase
physical strength, to reinforce other sports, or in the sole purpose of
improving general health. The training aims to stimulate the growth of
muscle and associated tissues.
The weight training is done either using machinery or performing
specific exercises. The principle is based on the concept of movement:
it is to work a muscle or group of muscles against resistance imposed by
the weight of the body, a specific machine or free weights (dumbbells
and bars), and in this precisely controlling his actions. Through this
repetitive motion, muscle fibers will grow (hypertrophy) to compensate
another effort similar future.The movement is chained a number of times -
we're talking about rehearsals - to constitute a series. After the
series ended, the bodybuilder takes a rest period of a few seconds to a
few minutes, then starts a new series, sometimes by changing the
load.Typically, an exercise consists of several series, and several
exercises are practiced during the session, which begins with a warm up
and ends with stretching the muscles worked. Experienced athletes
generally avoid working too often the same muscle group in order to
allow the tissue time to recover and prevent injury. They provide the
content of their training accordingly, this program is called the
"split".
The details of the training varies depending on the purpose, time of
rest, load, number of repetitions, etc..Practitioners fitness fight
against monotony by changing multiple parameters of their training: the
movement, the number of repetitions, number of sets, the breaks between
sets and exercises, expenses and the rate at which they change from one
series to another, the speed of execution of movements, catch, working
angles, postures, with a training partner ... The possibilities are
endless, generating various muscular sensations, and continuously
providing new stimuli to the muscle, which is a guarantee of fast and
smooth development of morphology.To solicit muscles, practitioners can
apply the different ways there are many techniques known intensification
to work the muscles. These methods and techniques require the help of a
partner to be carried out safely. The most popular are forced reps,
negative repetitions and partial repetitions
