Discovering the perfect training

By Dr. Davide Marciano

Can a training that allowed the development of mass and strength to a given subject also be suitable for other people and give them the same benefits?

Studies show that each person is different from the other and responds in a completely different way to equal stimuli. This is essentially due to a different genetics that each of us possesses and in addition, in the sports field, attention, commitment and passion also play a fundamental role.

The same training card, in fact, can give benefits to a boy who has "pulled" every series to the maximum exhaustion of muscle, while to another who, having reached the number of repetitions assigned could easily make another 3 or 4, will have no results.

So it could be stated with certainty that there is no one perfect training for all but there are instead basic rules that "everyone" should respect to build a physique worthy of note.

To name a few:

1) Base your workout on basic exercises (squat, deadlift, flat bench, slow forward, lat machine with reverse grip)

2) Do 4 to 6 sets per muscle band to have good and harmonious muscle growth.

3) Try to gradually increase the load on the barbell and this can only be done by planning workouts of pure strength.

+ FORCE = + LOAD ON THE ROCKER = MUSCULAR MASS

4) Do not train for too many weeks, otherwise the stress hormone (cortisol) will prevent muscle growth and will not allow "supercompensation".

These rules are the foundation on which we will design a solid training program.

For the rest it will be the responsibility of the instructor, if valid, to add or remove a given exercise.
