Do you work hard enough?

The reader recently sent me a great question:

“I wonder if I always try my best. My goals are to build strength and muscles – and not Mrs..”

Such a question is more common than you think! This is almost all that shows miracles somewhere: “How should I work when I lift?”

Let’s break it.

✅ 1. Do your muscles try using yourself during and after workout?

You don’t have to destroy yourself to develop yourself but you need Your muscles felt some meaningful things.

This can be seen as follows:

• The voltage in your muscles and “work” in your muscles
• Start to slow down in the middle of your collection
• Light muscle “passive” training
• The next day is sensitive to a little muscle sensitivity (but nothing is brutal)
• As you have questioned yourself with the end of each set

If you finish your training and you can do it immediately … It’s time to enhance this processing, weight or packages.

✅ 2. What are you lucky (if available)?

Contradicts the famous belief, The diversity is not a single sign of progressBut it can advise us.

Here I am looking for:

• Light pain For 1-2 days? Great! You are working enough.
• Excessive pain Will this last 4-5 days or more? This is a lot. Re-dial back.
• Never Is the pain at all? It may be time to move some something a little intentionally, moving.

Again, the pain is a alarmNot Scorecard. No matter what happens, no matter what happens, but working, and working for you. Jerk

✅ 3. Are you evolving over time?

Strong classes make your body difficult and then ​By the time the passage of time gradually increases this difficulty​.

• Are you raising a larger weight of 4-6 weeks ago?
• Are you more nets with more reps or the same weight?
• Do your actions are more sustainable, reliable or manage?

If the answer is yes, you will be stronger. And what do we want us.

If not, it may be the time to move to a planned planned plan like a ​A program made of​ This will gradually exceed 6-12 weeks of the volume (sets and reps) or intensity (weight of weight).

Note: Like our age, we naturally lose muscle and power. This is absolutely normal! However, we can help reduce this loss by teaching smart power.

Although you can rise less in the 70s after you are 30 years old, you can still strengthen difficulties within the training program. The principle of progressive overload is still used, you set up your starting point until you are now capable of. Jerk

🧪 Do you want to test your strength in a safe way?

Another way to check you working enough?

Try what I call A set of litmus.

How does this work:

1. Choose an exercise You regularly – the weight category of body, push-up, dumbbell rows or machine press.
2. Do a hard warming. Move your body and make your joints well.
3. Then go to everyone: Make as many quality representatives as possible with good form. Stop when you know that you can’t do another planned plan.

This is the easiest (and safest):

• Machines (You are already “without a” spot “)
• Movement in body weight (You can simply stop)

Fewer ideal:

• Free weighted actions such as Barbell’s back cups or a heavy bench press (if you have a lot of experience)

What are we looking for?

Compare your lituit to the usual business collections.

Example:

• If you usually do 3 sets 10 sets steering wheel and your litus collection will get you 12-13 repsYou are right in this sweet place within several representatives of failure.
• If you hit 20+ repsOn the other hand, you leave 10+ reps in the tank during the routine classes. This means that it is time to increase weight or reps to continue the growth.

Happens when you are inside a lot of muscle ​1-4 reps failure​ In the work collection. But if you don’t know the failure feel Similarly, it is easy to stop a short time.

The package of lits helps to make sure you can be reconsidered and sure.

💡 The bottom line

You don’t have to lose yourself to be strong. But you to make I want your training to be difficult enough to demand the purpose and to customize your body.

Search:

• Muscular spread (during the collection)
• Muscle fatigue (after training)
• Light pain (especially at the beginning of a new training program)
• Continue over time (reps, weight, technical)
• … and time-time marked for clarity

And if you don’t see you? Let’s take your approach to the help and help you find a sweet place.

And remember! If you ask this question, it means that you are already developing you!

You got it.
