HEAVY LIFTING (85-100%)

Heavy Lifting with high intensity is the best solution to make your muscles even more physically strong. It also relates to the nervous system. The greater the pressure on your physical strength, the bigger the role of the nervous system.

That’s why Heavy Lifting is so much recommended for athletes. If done in parallel to strength-speed exercises, it serves as the best stimulus for strength and power gains. Heavy lifting, however, places such a serious load on the nervous system and the tendons that its volume and frequency need to be planned in detail.

Too much exercise has never been a problem for fit athletes craving to beat their own records. Bear in mind, though, that you don’t have to constantly Heavy lifting to the utmost in training to stimulate the process of strengthening your muscles

What is more, you should be aware that strength levels fluctuate and do not necessarily mark progress over the course of the training season. Finally, being physically able to lift heavier weights in training does not mean you are developing stronger and more effective muscles.

Always remember that gym performance is also dependent on willingness, motivation and fatigue among other factors. So, better or worse results in gym performance are certainly not a reliable way to measure the true progress of an athlete’s strength.

In this respect, trying to lift limit weights in each workout is not the right approach. When forcing yourself into beating your own record in a certain lift, you learn to demonstrate your strength in that particular lift either than gaining extra strength.

Heavy lifting is useless if planned out of context; plan it in consequence instead. The capacity to produce force will be substantially lowered if the volume of work in other training methods is high.
