Bodybuilding techniques were developed to compete against the plateau, the sticking point and/or the proverbial wall. Bodybuilding techniques are basic resistance training regimens designed to specifically increase muscle mass (hypertrophy) as compared to techniques utilized to increase sport specific requisites (speed, balance, coordination, agility, reactivity, flexibility, strength, etc). Techniques described here involve hypertrophy of the muscle complex (i.e. muscle, tendon, ligament, joints, and bones). As you focus on long-term goals, you must prepare the supportive structures to adapt and change as our muscles are continually growing. Currently, a prevalent theory in gyms today is that of progressive overload. This theory has its basis is the belief that you need to lift more to get bigger, or progressively overload the muscles to cause them to grow. This type of training is very hard to perform for long period of time. If this can be done during your entire bodybuilding career, you would see 400 lbs. guys in the gym bench-pressing 1500 lbs! Progressive overload training can be done for different periods of time but is not the only way to train.
You need to change your routine very often (about every 6 weeks) this include no only the type of exercises but also the type of technique. Continually changing the stress placed on the muscle groups prevents adaptation and forces the body to respond. Utilizing a variety of techniques not only breaks monotony in the gym but allows for periods of growth by alternating tissue breakdown (with overloading, heavy exercises, large resistance) and tissue repair (with rest, lighter activities, and various methods). There are many different terms used to describe the same activity. This is not an all-inclusive list. There are obviously a number of other techniques and routines not mentioned in this article, including ones utilized by others individuals. Please email me with your ideas, I am always looking to learn new techniques or new ways to train. Ideally, you will take the ones mentioned and modify them to meet your needs and shock the heck out of your muscles. Resistance level and Rest are only suggestions! Changing or individualizing the techniques allows you to create your own technique and therefore add diversity to your workouts and astonish the muscles!
