The number one thing you need to get from this article is this. Significant
increases in the muscular size of any particular muscle group, can not be
achieved without similar increases throughout the entire body. Any and all
exercise performed has an indirect effect on all the body's subsystems and
muscular structures.
An exercise which primarily involves the legs, produces to varying degrees,
muscle growth in all other muscles throughout the body. The relative size of
the muscles involved largely determines how great the indirect effect will be.
The larger the muscle group, the greater the overall indirect effect on other
body parts. Got it. Good
This indirect effect is the result of intensity of effort. If the intensity is
low, indirect muscle growth is minimal. If the intensity is high, indirect
muscle growth is absolutely incredible. But remember, these muscle gains are
not stimulated through the quantity of exercise performed, but from the overall
intensity of effort.
Maximizing intensity of effort requires the same style of training for
absolutely everyone. That mean you and me. However, individual performance is
relative. For example. while the performance of a 100 pound bench press may
involve a high level of intensity for one person, a considerably stronger
trainee could perform the same exercise with a much lower intensity. But as we
now know beyond a shadow of doubt. High levels of intensity must be reached,
before an increase in muscle size will be produced. If you train below that
particular level, your muscle gains will be practically non-existent.
Although the level of intensity required to produce maximum muscle gains may
actually be below maximum intensity, determining exactly when that point has
been reached during your workouts is near impossible. Even if the required
intensity for maximum muscle gains could be converted into a percentage, you
wouldn't be unable to determine accurately when that exact level is reached
during an exercise. Working at one hundred percent, maximum intensity of effort
guarantees that this level is always achieved, regardless of whether it is an
actual requirement or not. Are you following me?
Look. If maximum muscle gains is your goal, working out with anything less than
one hundred percent intensity of effort is not going to cut it. In fact, it's
almost a complete waste of time. Regardless of the actual intensity of effort
required, working the largest of muscle groups will produce incredible muscle
growth all over the entire body.
Although we may not be entirely sure why, we do know that without a doubt, it
does happen. For the best possible muscular gains, the major muscular
structures should be trained intensely. If the exercise is intense, brief and
infrequent, maximum gains will be achieved. As no muscle can be truly isolated
from the body's subsystems and all exercises have some degree of overall effect
on the body, for the best possible muscle gains, only full body workouts should
be performed.
As I has explained to you here. Split-routines are in fact physiologically
impossible. A training program which 'splits' the body into muscle groups,
doesn't permit sufficient recovery time for the body overall. As a result,
split training programs do not produce maximum possible muscle gains. In almost
all cases, they actually prevent them. No exceptions.
