The meaning of stimulus for you guys that
are wondering is something that causes us to react in a certain way. For
example, If you were walking down the street and someone threw a ball at you,
you would react by catching it or moving out the way right? Providing you seen
it that is. The Stimulus is basically something that causes our body to react
in a different way too what we are used too.
Now how this relates to training… I like to
cross relate the effect of training with other things which happen in our day
to day life and break it down so you guys can truly understand what I mean when
I’m comparing without going into too much detail. I want you guys to imagine the first time you
turned 18 or (21 in America) and you are finally allowed to go out clubbing so
you start trying alcohol you only have a few beers and then you start to feel a
little bit tipsy (slightly wobbly and off balance) now you keep going out and
out every Saturday and your body starts to adapt to this. Meaning you can go
out and drink more and more beer every single time! Now you’re fed up of beer
ok you going to try a daring spirit you have one drink of the spirit and BOOM! It hits you again like the first time you
drank beer!
So this is the point I’m trying to get across
to you guys. If you go into the gym and every Monday you train legs in the gym
and every Tuesday you train chest, Wednesday back, Thursday arms, Friday shoulders
and you do every single exercise in exactly the same order for months and
months in a row, eventually you ask yourself the biggest question most people
ask when looking in the mirror
The answer!
As mentioned above you need to constantly
change the stimulus which your muscles react upon! Now if that routine sounds
like you above, try doubling the muscle groups up , chest & triceps , back
& biceps, legs & shoulders. Adjust your rest period from 1 minute to 30
secs all these changes will shock the body and cause your muscles to grow as
they can’t cope with the stress you are putting on them! So they are forced to
grow!
Training methods Super Sets, Drop Sets, Tri Sets,
rest pause. There are hundreds of variables it’s just mixing it into your
workout constantly changing what you are doing every 1-4 weeks never stick to
the same program for too long
Hope
this has helped you guys feel free to get in contact
