Top 5 rules of Effective Training
1) Don't always associate muscle soreness as the best way to judge your workout
Muscle soreness is a result of small tears in muscle fibres in working muscles. But it can an unreliable measurement tool. Muscle soreness occurs when you have reached a higher level in your training. Also if you haven't trained for awhile and you do the same workout again and if your a beginner and lifting weights for the first time.
2) Don't use the scales to measure your success
The scales can sometimes lie! Some people measure themselves different times in the day and wonder why they're different weights (duh-duh!). The scales don't tell you that it's not about gaining weight but about gaining lean muscle mass which will utilise fat more effectively and you will much better for it! Focus on tape measurements, photos and how you fit in your clothes as a measurement tool instead of the scales.
3) Supplements are only one part of the BIG picture
Supplements do what they say, they only supplement or support your intake. Protein shakes and amino acids alone wouldn't get you big results, but if you have foods rich in protein like lean turkey and tuna steaks alongside your supplements you can't go wrong with your nutrition in that perspective.
4) Training 5-7 times a week with very little rest is good? Hell No!
There is a thing as over training, and your body will have the reverse effect than adding muscle or losing weight. Rest is just as important as you need your body to repair and muscles to strengthen for the next workout.
5) Keep your head in the game
It's not just about keeping motivated, it's about focusing on technique during a resistance exercise or remembering the next ratio on an interval on a treadmill. Research has shown that regular exercise improve concentration levels and memory.
