Chapter 4: Using Intensity Techniques to Unlock Your Full Potential
So now you understand how muscle growth works, you can start to apply this concept to your training at home. The key is to recognize that you need to create microtears, you need to create metabolic stress and you need to challenge yourself with increasing weights. You then need to ensure you get adequate rest and protein so that your body can build this back up.
This is where the discrepancy comes in with a lot of home workouts. Because if you are simply picking up a weight, curling it ten times and then putting it down, you aren’t doing anything.
All you’re doing is using some fast twitch fiber and some slow twitch fiber to move a weight 10 times. You’re building up a few metabolites and you’re maybe causing a few tears – but it’s not enough to see rapid growth.
You need to train like a bodybuilder.
What does that mean? It means you need to cause maximum stress and damage to the muscles and really challenge yourself. And that in turn means thinking outside the box and getting creative.
