Muscle Building Efficiency: Focusing In The Weightroom To Achieve Better Results
Posted on July 27, 2008 - Filed Under Fitness | Leave a Comment
Building muscle is all about efficiency. Most fitness experts agree that an optimal muscle-building workout should last no more than 45-60 minutes. After 60 minutes your body releases a catabolic hormone called “cortisol” which actually can start breaking down your muscle fibers for energy (yikes!). Not to mention as the clock ticks you’ll inevitably lose some motivation and energy.
Unfortunately, far too many people are very unfocused in the weight
room. They extend their workouts much longer than they should be and
really diminish their results. Here’s a few pointers on how to improve
your efficiency in the weight room and to maximize your workouts to see
their greatest results.
