How to split up workouts 3x a week
Is your workout periodized? That’s a good place to start… Periodization is the planning of training, with the manipulation of variables, rest intervals, sets, intensity techniques, etc.
Long-term training
The longer your training goes on, the more necessary periodization becomes. For example, if your training lasts only one month, it might not make a difference, but from three months onward, periodization can make all the difference.
Can you imagine how crazy it is not to follow a well-designed training routine? For these and other reasons, some people spend years at the gym, training for hours a day, with little or NO RESULTS!
Beginners and advanced trainees
This applies to beginners and advanced trainees alike… beginners can make more significant gains in less time, while advanced trainees can avoid the dreaded plateau!
Workout 3x a week: do I need to lift heavy?
You don’t need very heavy weights to build muscle. That’s a myth, and it needs to be debunked! By using a full range of motion and controlling your tempo, you can achieve great results.
You should always focus on performing full movements in your workout, since poor exercise form combined with heavy weights can cause serious injuries during training. That’s not what you want, right?
So always keep in mind that weights aren’t the main thing you should focus on during your workout.
Guidance from qualified professionals (such as physical therapists or personal trainers) is essential to accurately assess these gaps in posture, so that personalized and more effective methods can be applied during your workout.
Remember that good posture is about much more than aesthetics. Good posture is very important for your overall health.
