Performing exercises quickly and doing more repetitions
Quick exercises? ❓Question: Does your current workout provide a metabolic or tension stimulus? 👆 There is no magic number! The infamous 3×8 for hypertrophy or 3×15 for definition is NOT the way to go! Your muscles can’t count! They respond to the stimuli applied, and these stimuli can be TENSIONAL OR METABOLIC.
✔ Tensional workouts are characterized by low repetitions, heavier loads, and longer rest intervals between sets.
✔ Metabolic workouts are characterized by high repetitions, lighter loads (compared to tensional workouts), and shorter rest intervals between sets.
Which method is best?
⁉️ Ahhhh, and you must be wondering: Which method provides the best results? 🔉 THERE IS NO “BEST” ONE! What does exist is an appropriate adjustment to your workout routine! The recommendation is to vary the stimuli to avoid hitting a plateau!
Hitting a plateau is when we stop seeing progress in training (whether in muscle or strength gains), and this is directly linked to muscle adaptation. A body that has adapted to training no longer grows!
Quick exercises: there is no difference
Weight training requires careful planning and appropriate intensity to be truly effective. If you cannot resume your sessions, you won’t see results. I’ve seen some women make many other mistakes, such as cheating or restricting their diet during training.
All of this will affect your training results and make weight training less effective.
Therefore, always try to train smart and develop an effective diet that meets your goals. There is no secret to achieving good results—just discipline and guidance from professionals!
Another important point when returning to training is to maintain consistency. When you return, choose to do the exercises with more repetitions and lighter loads. One workout program suggestion for inactive people is called a split routine by body part. It is recommended for inactive people because it helps prevent early muscle fatigue.
