👉🏻 There are several ways to train for strength but it is evident that many people are using poor methods. Make sure you don’t fall into the same trap.
1️⃣ Lift and lower well. Too many people drop their weights on the way down. Yet eccentric loading, which occurs as muscles lengthen (when lowering weights), generates more force in the muscles and therefore enhances strength more effectively.
2️⃣ Move through large ranges. This enables greater mechanical tension to occur across the muscles, again leading to more effective strength training.
3️⃣ Train in sets of 6-8 reps at a weight so you feel fatigue or experience hard work at the end of the set rather than to failure at a lower number of reps. Using failure with very low numbers of reps will swell your muscles but doesn’t mean one will generate strength - you may look strong but you that won’t necessarily be so - swole not strong.
👉🏻 To effectively strength train, focus on the lowering as well as the lifting; train through large ranges and train to fatigue rather than failure.
