More Is Not Necessarily Better

Apr 20, 2008 @ 03:49 pm by wayne

It was post training the other day and one of the guys asked me about his training routine. He is a lightly built guy and wants to put on some muscle but always seems to be doing way too much work. He told me that he is only training twice a week, so he is doing 2 hours of weights each session which includes doing multiple sets for each bodypart. It is not surprising that he is not getting the results he wants.

I think full body workouts are great and are very useful when trying to put on size but like most weight training sessions they should generally be under an hour in length and should be based around doing a limited number of sets for each of the primary movement patterns, not multiple sets for every bodypart. It is very easy to fall into the pattern of thinking more is better, but in this case the reverse is more productive.
