Another critical factor to be aware of, is the efficient use of time. If a
routine is performed in approximately one hour, the muscle gains will be much
less than if the exact same routine was performed in half and hour. This aspect
is a "secret" to most. Time is one of the most effective ways to increase
intensity of effort.
When performing a workout, your breathing should be more rapid than normal. This
should start to happen within the first minute of your workout. Ideally, your
breathing should not return to a normal pace until at least ten minutes after
you finish your workout. If your breathing pace has not increased, then you are
not training rapidly enough. This will seriously reduce your rate of muscle
gains.
I have rarely seen guys at the gym willing to train at the required pace. An
unwillingness to work hard is the number one reason for lack of muscle gains.
To inspire maximum results from training, you must train hard. Your breathing
and heart rate must be elevated. But you know what. Such a pace only needs to
be sustained for fifteen to twenty minutes. Any additional length will prove a
waste of your time and effort.
When I first learned this secret, I focused on this one factor almost entirely.
Doing this had a direct impact on all of the other factors involved. Training
the largest muscle groups of the body at an elevated pace, until momentary
exhaustion, literally forces you to workout briefly. Fifteen to twenty minutes
maximum.
By forcing a time constraint on your workouts, you immediately raise your level
of intensity. Simultaneously, you will have managed to reduce the amount of
time spent training. The absolute opposite of this method is working out six
times a week, in a vain attempt to produce greater muscle gains. This is simply
not an option. If that was what natural bodybuilding really required, I'd
consider it to be a bad use of my time.
The best results from your training can, and should be achieved by exercising no
more than three times a week. In most cases, maximum muscle gains will be
achieved from only two workouts weekly. Training time should be no more then a
total of sixty minutes per week, or twenty minutes for each workout. More often
than not the greatest results will be obtained by reducing your total workout
time per week to thirty minutes or less.
When focusing on reducing you workout times, training must be intense and fast
paced. The rest period between sets should be reduced as quickly as possible to
no more than sixty seconds. Eliminating rest periods almost entirely should be
your ultimate goal. Although spending less time in the gym should be considered
worthy, saving time is not the motivation for this method of training.
Maximizing your overall muscle gains is.
Training at a rapid pace will dramatically improve the condition of your heart,
breathing, circulation, and muscle endurance. In order to produce maximum
muscle growth, fast training is a critical requirement. Performing the same
routine in twice the time will greatly reduce your muscle gains.
The ultimate goal is to perform your routines in the shortest time possible. A
consistently fast rate promotes enormous improvement in muscular size. Reducing
or eliminating rest periods is the easiest way to minimize training time. The
performance of your sets however, must remain slow and deliberate. Momentum
should not be used to "cheat", as this will risk injury. When the set is
completed, the rest period before the next should be really brief. Speed
between sets, not during them, is the key.
