You are training, but you feel that the effort is not reflected... then you realize that despite the time you invest in your training, you do not see great progress.
Well, this is what happens most frequently to all those people who are beginning to delve a little deeper into their personal process, perhaps looking to lose that extra fat they want.
The main reason why you stagnate is simple: you don't know specifically what you want to achieve.
Because of that, you don't know what you can measure to define your progress, much less establish a specific strategy... well, don't worry anymore.
What you can start to evaluate is first: define what you want to achieve both in visual effect and in % of muscle and fat (note, I never said weight) and starting from there you will see if you need to hypertrophy, increase your strength, make a stronger caloric deficit or keep you
My favorite wild card is hypertrophy, because it covers several points at once.
I explain:
WHAT IF IT IS
When strength training is carried out regularly, muscle strength increases and with it the size of the muscle fibers (muscle hypertrophy). If it is complemented with detailed training in stages and nutrition at the same time, the hypertrophy effect on muscle and muscle strength is increased, and with them the size of muscle fibers (muscle hypertrophy).
If it is complemented with detailed training in stages and nutrition at the same time, the hypertrophy effect on the muscle is increased.
WHAT IS NOT
It is not strength training, nor is it power training, much less volume. Each one is a completely different stage varying from the % of maximum weight that is used, both the reps and obviously the diet.
Strength training, as its name suggests, aims to increase the strength of the athlete and for this it focuses on working on muscle power, that is, the most explosive capacity of muscle fibers.
The exercises focused specifically on strength work are performed by lifting loads close to 100% of the maximum repetition and are not intended in any case, at least as a direct objective, to increase the amount of muscle mass.
WHAT IS IT FOR
Hypertrophy training, managed together with specific nutrition strategies, leads us to maintain or even slightly increase the weight of muscle tissue but drastically increase its volume by stimulating the maturation of muscle fibers as well as allowing us to lower the percentage of fat.
In other words, if you are looking to see yourself, as they say colloquially, with a "defined" body but not too big, this is the appropriate strategy for you, whether you are a man or a woman.
This Saturday, November 20, 2021, Luis Meneses (hypertrophy coach, doctor and also a Biology graduate) and your nutritionist Karla Sofía gave a very complete master class talking about how to learn to handle the different techniques and strategies based on scientific evidence so that You can adapt them to your tastes and needs. And we have a SURPRISE for you... now this same class will be for sale completely online and ready for you to see when you need it.
Just go to the Guides section in our catalog, make your purchase and download both the nutrition guide and the training guide as well as the presentation, we will give you access to the video that we recorded so that you can complement these 2 hours with a detailed explanation .
