Personal Trainer San Diego - Is Getting To Two Minutes Failure Or Success? - 0 views

  As a personal trainer San Diego, www.plus.google.com/115839840522968346614/about, I sometimes overhear clients express disappointment right after completing an exercise that "I didn't even reach two minutes on that machine today!" And it is clear from the tone that they feel like they're supposed to get 2 minutes, and that they fell short and "were unsuccessful." When I hear that, I get frustrated about the misunderstanding, because it's actually better if your muscles fully fatigue prior to reaching 2 minutes.
  
  If things are set up properly, you should not be able to arrive at two minutes on any of the physical exercises that you do. Once a somebody has figured out how to perform slow-motion strength training, you want the weight to be heavy enough so that your muscles hit "temporary muscular failure" in less than two minutes. (Short-term muscular failure is the moment when following several repetitions your muscle tissue become so exhausted that you are pushing or pulling as hard as you can but you are struggling to move the weight.)
  
  Because of resistance training research it would appear that there is an ideal range of resistance for exercises: light enough that you get at least thirty seconds prior to reaching muscle failure, and also substantial enough that you reach that failure point in less than 120 seconds (2 minutes). In the research, resistance levels selected in that variety appear to promote the best possible changes (optimum power gains, lean muscle tissue increases, metabolism development, and so on.). If the weight is too heavy (you can't obtain a minimum of half a minute of movement before hitting muscular failure), then your results aren't as good. Also, if the resistance is too light (you can carry on with repetitions for longer than two minutes), then your results will be also lower than what they can be. (For warm up as well as safety purposes, it is best if you have a minimum of 60 seconds of muscle loading prior to achieving muscle failure, not just the minimum of 30 seconds necessary to ensure ideal results. So your instructors usually make an effort to choose loads the will result in muscle failure around 1 to 2 minutes, rather then 30 seconds and two minutes.)
  
  There are exceptions to these guidelines. Novices just discovering slow-motion power training will most likely need to use weights that are light enough that they can get to two minutes on the workouts for their first few visits so they could study the form properly. Or, if a person has a damaged or extra delicate joint, sometimes that joint is unable to withstand heavier loads on particular exercises and the weight should be lighter. But, for most people on most workouts, the resistance needs to be substantial enough to render muscle failure in under 2 minutes. If you arrive at 2 minutes before hitting muscular failure, the weight was way too light to produce optimum results.
  
  My own body responds exactly as the research indicates. Making sure the loads are substantial enough to force "failure" in under 2 minutes provides me with much better outcomes than when in the past I have at times utilized loads that were lighter. My upper body muscles specifically have measurably benefitted after learning the significance of making the weights substantial enough.
  
  As a personal trainer San Diego County, click here, these are definitely my recommendations. Instead of getting upset if you cannot reach 2 minutes on a workout, consider it an achievement: (1) if you fatigue your muscles down to the point of muscular failure - this is the most crucial part, and (2) the weight was substantial enough to render failure in less than 2 minutes. This formula will promote ideal benefits in your body.
