This weekly altering of coaching is based mostly alone concept of dividing 4 completely different strategies of coaching into 4 separate weeks: 30s Week, Superset Week, Drop Set Week, and Heavy Week. This text focuses on Heavy Week, and gives a weekly exercise focused on the ability actions concerned with the kind of exertion that’s vital to construct dense muscle tissue and robust tendons and ligaments.
The transferring by way of area of the heavy resistance of free weights builds dense, giant muscle tissue that develop to face up to a bigger quantity of stress that in flip strengthens bones, tendons, and ligaments. The extra bodily stress that one is subjected to, the extra the physique adapts to regulate to that stress by tearing and repairing the muscle fibers and sinews getting used, in addition to rising the density of the skeletal body beneath the muscle tissue.
Once I first ventured into the gymnasium, coaching heavy was a every day incidence. We hardly ever targeted on lighter, remoted actions, however quite on heavy, compound actions, workouts that mix a number of muscle teams directly. There was nothing like the sensation of energy and conquest over transferring such weight by way of area. It was each a psychological and bodily problem that was an exhilarating outlet, and one which might be consistently improved upon. I had already constructed a powerful bodily basis for my muscle tissue, tendons, and ligaments at a younger age with calisthenic actions resembling pull-ups, chin-ups, sprints, and dips. My physique was prepared for compound actions resembling squats, deadlifts, army press, cleans, and bench press. Having my basis, my physique thrived with the ability actions. I nonetheless drastically take pleasure in my Heavy Weeks, however present stability for my physique with lighter, extra remoted weeks as nicely. It maintains my energy and retains my tendons and ligaments free from harm and ready for longevity.
