Practice explosive strength exercises every Thursday



MuscleNet Tip: This fitness program focuses on explosive training. The following four exercises can be completed within a week and are suitable for reference by intermediate and advanced bodybuilders.

Using traditional training methods, usually starting from 2 seconds and lasting 2 seconds or more, the explosive training strategy refers to: using explosive force during the muscle contraction phase, completing the contraction as fast as possible in about 1 second, and returning The stage remains at normal speed.

Fast fibers can shrink at a very fast speed, so they can withstand large loads. Fast fibers use more heat to shrink than slow fibers. With the same number of contractions, fast fibers consume three times as many calories as slow fibers. Explosive training can greatly increase the number of fast fibers recruited when muscles contract, thereby increasing muscle strength, volume and contraction speed, and burning more fat. The real benefit comes after training, when you can consume an additional 200---400 kcal even while sitting.

Note:

(2) Choose a weight that you can do 20 times at normal speed and use it when pressingPerform the movement as fast as possible with explosive force. When falling back, slow down the movement speed and maintain control of the movement.

(3) Use the same weight as when performing the movement with explosive force, but perform each rep with normal speed and control. TF means do it to failure.

(4) Start fast and slow down, and contract at the highest point for 2 seconds.

(2) Use the same weight as when performing the movement explosively, but perform each rep with normal speed and control. TF means do it to failure.

(3) Start fast and slow down, and contract at the highest point for 2 seconds.
