5 ways your body tells you to change your workout
How to avoid trays and see the results you want, every time you hit the gym.
To make progress in your workout, you must put yourself at ease with each exercise - to execute it with an appropriate form and muscle intensity. But there is such a thing as comfortable: a point where your muscles can predict what happens and stops growing. When is it going? Some experts affirm six to eight weeks (but the experts also told us to drink six to eight glasses of water daily, which had very little scientific foundation). Avoid estimates and listen to what your body tells you. Here are 5 things to say about when it's time to return to the drawing board.
You are not painful
"No pain, no gain" is not just a cliché. Muscle pain (DOMs) are delayed (DOMs) resulting from a microtrauma in connective tissues when we put on the stress of our muscles. You do not want to have the impression of being touched by a truck - too much pain will reduce the intensity in the gym and saves your motivation. But to be able to feel that you have worked is good: it's a sign that you damage your muscles through exercise. The repair of these damage is one of the three processes that make the muscles larger and stronger over time. (The other two are mechanical voltages and metabolic constraints).
Your body does not change
Some guys go to the gym just to keep their physics, but most of us want to make positive changes. Become stronger and look better by increasing muscle and reducing fat. You should see the effects of a training program within four to six weeks of starting, provided you pay particular attention to what you are eating. Keep an eye on the mirror and take pictures to rate how your body adapts to the way you work.
The training is too easy
Training sessions should become easier with time. This means that your body adapts to the movement and the load, running the work more efficiently. But there will be one point when exercise becomes too easy. If your seventh or eighth representative is as simple as the first or second, it's time to increase the weight (so that these representatives are a real challenge) or completely change your routine.
Training is a trail
Although a training is difficult, it should always be nice. It's hard to enjoy anything if it looks like a slog. If this is the case, it's time to reshape the bridge. Making gains in the gym concerns adhesion, and if you feel Blah, you are much more likely to call in a performance or skip the last exercises. The result? You lose strength and muscle gains and momentum. So, conceive a routine that does not make you sleep.
You are no longer hungry
One of the great benefits of having a difficult exercise routine is that it strikes your appetite at high speed. It's the way your body told you that it needs fuel to repair and build muscles. If your furnace is dead, your body says that you are dragging the ass in the gym. Redouble your efforts and you will see a tip in your appetite. This means that you are back on the right track.
