What You Should Look For In A Weight Training Program
Do you often go to the gym and ask "What am I gonna do today?"
If you're like most people that I see in the gym then you just go, lift, and go home and HOPE you'll see some growth. If you're just a little smarter, you'll eat or drink something after, and if you're just a little smarter, you'll go in with a particular "muscle day" in mind.
Does this strategy produce long term growth?
Well the likely answer is "no" like most people. They think the solution is in the bottle so they take a supplement. Or they may switch workouts. Well, both of these approaches are WRONG.
Stagnation and frustration are a result of not lifting with a PLAN in mind. If you start without a good weight training program customized for you, it's like going to class with no books, or starting a business without a business plan.
It may sound foolish because it is. The secret isn't in the bottle or in the workouts. Quality weight training programs adapt to you as you get stronger and last several weeks.
Personal trainers wouldn't last long if they didn't create a plan for you or went to the gym with you and asked, "let's see what we'll do today". If they did, you'd ask for your money back and laugh. But I see so many lifters go into the gym to build muscle this way. To stop this, I've listed the five things you need in a great weight training program.
1. Expert Knowledge
You probably don't have a degree in how to build muscle unlike the creater of these programs. You can use this advantage to borrow from their years of experience and knowledge to shortcut you to your goals.
2. Step-By-Step Layout
This takes away the guessing about what to do that day in the gym. Basically, the only way to fail is if you don't do it.
3. Full Package
Any personal trainer will tell you that its a hassle to put together a nutritional plan, a weight training plan, and a cardio plan. Let alone trying to do this yourself without the proper knowledge. Gret programs include all of this for you.
4. Customizable to Your Specific Goals
The difference between a person that wants to cut and a person that want to gain is huge. The program should be customizable to your specific goal as well as to your metabolism, body type, etc. So it's easy to see why the magazine workouts dont work.
5. Several Weeks Long - Enough Time for Results
It takes time to see significant growth in your muscles. A four week magazine workout just won't cut it. When did you ever sign up for a personal trainer for 4 weeks? A good program will guide you for months. As you learn more about your body, you'll be able to create your own when it's finished.
Conclusion
You don't want to try to build muscle without a program. That's like driving across the country without a map. You drive toward your destination and HOPE your gas doesn't run out before you get there. This isn't a good plan, so it's time for a better strategy.
