Want a method that guarantees youll be able to instantly add weight to all lifts in your weight lifting routines?

Learn how to warm up correctly.

I dont mean just warming up before you start your weight lifting routines, but warming up correctly all the way to your heavy sets.

In my opinion, most everybody do not warm up correctly before beginning their heavy sets in their weight lifting routines.

This could have a significant and negative impact on their ability to lift maximum weight and overload the muscles sufficiently.

If you do not achieve proper overload, there will be no new muscle fiber stimulation and no new muscle growth.

Not only will a proper warm-up lessen your chances of becoming injured, it will increase your strength the very first day you put this principle into practice.

Every single instant you put your hands on those weights, it should be to either get stronger or more muscular. Not just for the act of bringing a weight up from a rack and to your chest.

Lifting weights do not have a direct impact on fat burning. It does have an indirect effect.

After all, the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.

Weight training is anaerobic, not aerobic; so dont try to perform an aerobic workout by lifting weights. So, how does this relate to warming up correctly?

Simple.

Most all the people spend way too much measure and energy warming up in their weight lifting routines to the point when its measure to perform their heavy sets, theyre too wiped out from their warm-ups.

This has defeated the purpose of weight training. Lighter weights lifted, less muscle stimulation.

This means less muscle growth as a result.

Take the bench press for example. Just the other day, I witnessed someone do the following in their bench routine.

This human started with the bar, which in most gyms is 45 pounds. They busted out a quick, effortless set of 10 reps. They then put on 45-pound plates (135 pounds) and did another set of 10.

Then they went up to 155 pounds and did another 10 reps. Heres where theyre starting to go wrong. Theyre start to use way too much energy on these warm-ups.

They then did another set with 175 pounds for 10 more reps, then 200 for a set of 8 reps. So far, 5 sets and this human hasnt even started their "heavy and intense" sets yet! Theyve wasted instant, energy, and intensity all before it really even counted.

On the 6th set, they noticed they were starting to tire quickly and could only handle 210 for 5 reps. So this is where they stop the bench press portion of their workout figuring that since they are fatigued, they have worked the muscles sufficiently.

After talking briefly with this person, I realized they had been at this weight and unable to break past this plateau for decades . They just assumed its where they were meant to be, that they couldnt get any stronger.

If the only way a muscle will grow is through increased overload (weight) why expend so much needed energy on the warm-up sets in your weight lifting routines?

You absolutely need to save it for the productive sets, the last one or two of the set where the weight being used is the most you can handle for four to six repetitions.

I explained to him that in order to keep gaining muscle and strength, he would have to lower the number of warm up sets and instead, focus on improving his last few.

There you have a quick and user friendly way to increase the amount of weight you lift on your bench press. Lower the number of reps you do and you will immediately be able to increase the amount of weight you lift.
