Muscle Building System That Really Adds Muscle - FAST

Hello to all bodybuilders and fitness trainees.
In this article I wanted to give you the basics of a technique known as stop reps. It is a system that has been used with great success in years past. The one principle that I have always taught people that I have trained is this, if you are focusing your training on gaining muscle size and strength there is a basic rule to follow.
You must keep your training intense and fairly brief. A good example is to take a look at runners. The cross country runner has a long and lean muscle structure with great endurance. Now look at the sprinter and you will see a individual with a well muscled body especially their legs. This is because the sprinters main training focus is to generate explosive power at the starting line and finish strong. In contrast the cross country runner's main focus is endurance; their training reflects this with longer workouts focusing on aerobic work. These are the exercises that will help them finish this long grueling race.
As long as you are following a routine that is brief (45-60) min., you will be able to incorporate this system into what you are doing now. If not, I would recommend that you choose one good compound movement per body part: Sets of 5-6 with your rep range at 6-8 along with training each muscle group twice a week. Now lets get into the performance of stop reps to really gain the muscle. An example would be using the two arm curl. After completing the fifth rep, make 3 stops on each of the remaining 3 reps. The emphasis: on your fifth rep you will stop the weight 1/3 of the way up for a few seconds, then at the halfway point, and finally at the top position.
One thing I have to mention is that you will need a training partner to spot your exercises like the bench press because your muscles will tire faster than you think. Remember keep your training safe and always check with your physician before enbarking on any exercise program.
To keep in great shape on the road or vacation this is what I use to Muscle Up
Good Luck with your Training
