]]> Hypertrophy is the process of slowly increasing the size of your muscle fibers, and is a key component in building muscle tone. It happens in response to resistance training, such as weightlifting, and is a key form in training when aiming to improve strength and overall athletic performance. Keep reading for some essential tips to maximize hypertrophy.

Progressive Overload

This process occurs gradually and over time, as you increase the weight you lift, perhaps by adding a pound or two per week. This stimulates muscle growth and challenges your muscles.

Repetition

Focusing on repetition range is essential. Aim for at least six to 12 reps of each exercise. Start heavier with lower reps for the first two sets. Then, drop your weight enough to do a higher amount of reps, or until failure.

Sets

Perform three to four sets of each exercise to activate the muscles and ensure sufficient muscle stimulation.

Rest and Recovery

Rest for a minute or two between each set, as this is when the growth occurs. It’s important to take rest days as well, so as to avoid burnout and injury.

Consistency

As cliche as it sounds, consistency is key. Following a structured routine is imperative for achieving hydropathy.

Nutrition

Muscles are made in the kitchen! This is half the battle. Obviously, each body is different, but is essential to make sure you are eating enough calories and protein to compensate for the amount of lifting you are doing.

]]> If you’re involved in the weightlifting community, you have probably heard of the terms cutting and bulking. Hearing them and actually knowing what they are, however, are two totally different things. We’re here to clarify exactly what they mean and why people do it.

Most people cycle through cutting and bulking phases, spending a few months in each. This will help weightlifters achieve the muscular physique they are aiming for.

Bulking Phase

Bulking is essentially a muscle-building stage of your weightlifting journey. In this stage, the goal is to put on more weight by eating more calories than you burn. By gaining weight, you give your body more ability to gain muscle. If you pair your weight gain with intense weight training, you will see that you gain muscle much faster. 

Cutting Phase

After you go through a bulking phase, you will have muscle mass, but maybe you’re not as lean as you want to be. This is where the cutting phase comes in. By eating in a calorie deficit, you will lose some of the extra weight you gained during the bulk. Paired with continued intense weight training, you will retain the muscle mass and lose the extra fat.

]]> Working out should be a major part of your weekly routine, it not only keeps you healthy it really helps your mental health. Doing exercise actually builds or maintains muscle mass as you lose weight and keeps your metabolism working. For that hour in the gym, on the court, or in the pool you want to make sure every minute counts. Here is how you can really benefit and lose more weight with each workout.

Choose an Activity You Enjoy

If you don’t love what you are doing you will not work as hard and you’ll be more likely to stop after a few tries. Choose something you know that you enjoy and can endure—this will push you to work harder and be more consistent.

Take a Rest Day

Working out every day can overstress your body and this, in turn, can lead to an injury or exhaustion. Weight loss takes time and you need those recovery days to help you reach your goals. Take a full day out of your routine for some stretching or just chilling on the sofa.

Embrace the Weights

Weightlifting burns more calories than doing cardio and you will build more muscle. Most people are afraid of lifting weights and stick to what they know, but once you get the technique right you can get amazing results from a weight workout.

Forget About the Scale

Stepping on the scales after you have worked so hard all week doesn’t always show you the numbers you want to see. Here’s the deal—you have shed fat, but you have also built muscle so the numbers might not go down. Focus on what you can see and how your clothes feel.
