Weight Lifting Tips

Daily info on weight training brought to you by two kinesiology students at respected and accredited universities.

Overhead extensions are the best way to develop the long head of the triceps


Keep the purpose of your training in mind. If you're a baseball/basketball player, you don't need to run 5 miles a day. Do sprints instead.


When trying to burn fat, avoid excessive carbs and alcohol. Both will suppress enzymes that break down fat tissue for use in metabolism.


Proper rest and recovery is just as important as the time you spend in the gym. Overtraining can take months to fully recover from.


Muscles develop more myonuclei w/ training. They atrophy slower than muscle fibers = easier to regain lost Mass/Strength than build new M/S


Don't skip leg day. Your legs are the largest muscle group in your body, so working them out causes the largest testosterone release


Muscle damage and post-workout soreness is primarily caused by eccentric muscle actions (negatives)

Lifting Myth: Girls who lift will end up really bulky...NOT TRUE. Girls don't have enough testosterone to build that much muscle mass.


The best gains in muscle mass come from high volume, short rest, and moderate intensity. Like 8-10 reps with 90 sec. rest between sets


The best gains in strength come from workouts with high intensity and long rests. For example, 3-5 reps with 4 min. rests between sets.


Everybody should lift weights. Especially women. Lifting will increase bone density and help prevent osteoporosis.
