    Muscle Woman - Amy Boyce

    What Is Weight Training and Its Goals

    Weight training is any strength training exercises where weights are used for resistance. Weight training stresses or shocks muscles, and this causes them to grow and get stronger by adapting to the environment created during lifting.  

    C:\Users\ADMIN\Desktop\A - MY PLR - PROD SITE\PLR PACKS IN PRGRS\FREEBIES-Givewys\Auer-Muscle\MuscleWomenReport\Images\training-828741_1280.jpg

    The truth is that muscle is either growing, shrinking or staying the same. Weight training strengthens muscles much in the same way that running, cycling, or any cardio strengthens the heart. When you lift weights, you not only build lean muscle mass, you improve your physical strength as well.

    Weight training uses the force of gravity by way of free weights, such as dumbbells or barbells to create an opposition in force generated by muscle, through either concentric or eccentric contraction.

    Besides, free weights, muscle building can be accomplished with weight machines found at the gym or home gyms, resistance bands and even by using your own body for resistance, such as the case in bodyweight exercise moves.

    Weight Training Versus Other Types of Exercise

    There are many types of different exercise, including:

    Endurance/aerobic training

    Cardio such as walking, jogging, elliptical or cycling

    Anaerobic training such as HIIT and Tabata

    Flexibility exercises such as yoga and pilates

    Balance training

    Strength training - Strength training is an inclusive term used to describe any exercise move that’s goal is to increase physical strength. Weight training is one such example that uses weight for resistance.

    While weight training has become synonymous with strength training, it is actually a more specific type of exercise within the inclusive category that offers many real and significant benefits for women of all ages.

    How Do Muscles Grow

    This post could be about how to best utilize transcription and translation of DNA or the biomechanical schematics of how satellite cells breakdown to reform more sensitive innervated tissues or how to inter/intra muscular coordination is improved via more efficient neural firing patterns.

    But, who cares?

    I want to use this post to talk about some of the more commonly accepted thought processes around proper training to build muscles, which ones will actually help you get bigger and stronger, and which ones just shouldn’t be a prime focus of your training.

    First off, what is a reasonable timeline for actual muscle growth?

    No, I am not talking about losing weight (which is always a combination of fat and muscle) to improve the actual distribution of fat vs muscle.

    What I mean is how long does it actually take to build only larger muscle?

    Obviously, this is not a linear relationship with time. If it were, the biggest people would be the ones that have been training the longest.

    Albeit, most of the largest people you see have some decent training experience under their belt. Realistically, even for the most genetically gifted and assuming, you stay consistent for the whole time period, you can expect your first year of devoted training to elicit about 20lbs of muscle gained.

    Yes, that’s only 1 to 2 pounds of muscle a month for a year. If this doesn’t seem like an appreciable amount of muscle, it’s because it’s not.

    ––––––––

    Anyone who spouts off numbers that sound too good to be true are usually just trying to sell you online coaching plans or a poorly written eBook. They are probably on steroids as well.

    After year one, those numbers dwindle to more of an average of .8 to 1 pound a month in year two and more like .2 to .5 pounds a month in year three.

    These numbers are assuming you are eating, sleeping, and living your life clean enough to bring about this kind of growth as well.

    With all of this information in mind, if you want to grow actual muscle, you really need to make a commitment to it, like, a lifelong commitment.

    Now, here are some
