4 Simple Strength Gaining Tips
1# Challenge yourself with every workout:
You need Intensity. When your aim is to gain strength, working out should never feel easy. You need to push yourself so hard at the end of any workout that you are unable to do one more rep. This puts a stress on your muscles that causes them to break down and rebuild. This also known as training to failure technique.
It is to be noted that for each type of exercise a right technique is mandatory, otherwise an injury might prevent you from being able to continue workout out and gaining strength.
2# Adding more weights and reps over time:
When your body becomes accustomed to a certain amount of weight, you would be required to keep adding more to continue challenging yourself. You'll know when to add more when you start to feel easier.
3# Train every muscle group
Some people just want big and strong arms and they don't care as much about the other parts of their body, while some focuses on legs, abs and so on but don't mind if their arms aren't as strong. However it is always a good idea to train every muscle group in your body, rather than focusing on just one. You are not supposed to work out every muscle group in the same day but once a week as this gives time to your muscles to rest and heal, preventing injury and promoting strength.
4. Limit cardio and weigh training volume:
Keeping the total number of reps on the lower end is a wise move. If you combine very heavy weights with high volume, you'll surely set yourself up for over training, which then adds another problem to the mix.
