The human body adapts to the load demanded of it. The central nervous system improves muscle coordination and the body repairs damaged muscle tissue. After a training load, your body not only prepares itself to be able to repeat the same load, but also uses the regeneration phase to increase its performance beyond the original level and maintain it at this level for a certain period of time. This principle is called supercompensation and is the basis of all muscle building training.
Regular strength training has a positive effect on your body in different ways. It defines your muscles and tones your body. It not only looks good, but also has positive effects on your health. Strength training increases your physical performance and improves your posture.
Regular strength training at home
The best results are achieved by training as much as possible on weight machines in as short a time as possible. As a rule, you should not train for longer than 45 minutes (3-4 times per week) so that you do not exceed the maximum amount of muscle building training. You should also add enough variety to your training so that your muscles are constantly exposed to new stimuli. For your strength training at home, you can use
in combination with a weight bench or you can equip your home gym with a .The most important components of muscle building training are:
A good start is to have a training plan. Progress can only be made if you train several times a week. The aim of muscle building training (also called hypertrophy training or muscle cross-section training) is to thicken the individual muscle fibres. You can do this by slowly training your exercises at 70-85% of your maximum strength (is the greatest possible force a nervous muscle system can exert against an insurmountable resistance). 6-12 repetitions in 3-5 sets is ideal.
No muscles without the right nutrition. Nutrition is the be-all and end-all of muscle building. Some athletes even claim that muscle building is 70% dependent on the right nutrition. Only with the right building material can the body develop, optimise or even repair muscle strands.
The following components should be considered:
Rest is a must! During breaks, your body rebuilds your muscles and tissues. Especially with strength training, it is important to give your muscles enough recovery time. On average, a muscle should be allowed to recover for 48-72 hours after an intensive workout.
To avoid giving your muscles a cold start, warm up for 5-10 minutes before each workout. For beginners, training twice a week is already good, 3 times a week is ideal. Important: The training does not have to be particularly long, it is more a matter of sufficient intensity.
You should keep the following points in mind:
Humans have around 650 muscles. Every wink, every smile, every step is performed by our muscles. Every movement requires a contraction of our muscles. 24 hours a day, 168 hours a week - our muscles are in action around the clock and consume a large proportion of calories in the process. Our muscles function like engines, even when at rest they burn fat and energy permanently and sustainably. The more muscle we have, the more fat our body can burn.
So what exactly happens when we gain muscle? Every muscle cell has an important component: the mitochondria, also called the "furnace of the cell". This is where energy production for the body takes place. Mitochondria convert fats into energy. If the number of mitochondria increases, our body can burn more fat.
So if you build up one kilogram of muscle, you increase your basal metabolic rate by about 100 kcal per day. With 1 kg more muscle mass, your body will lose 3 kg of fat within a year! With the belly you can easily and quickly calculate your individual basal metabolic rate.
Over the decades, some training strategies have been developed in strength training and bodybuilding with which the stimulus on the muscles can be intensified even further. In this way, all performance reserves can be exhausted and an improved effect in terms of muscle and performance building can be achieved.
If you train in your own four walls, you not only save time and money in the long run, but also benefit from the fact that you are your own master. No one but you decides which TV programme is on or whether you prefer to lift weights to your favourite music. That's why it's best to set up a home gym in your own four walls and train regularly. Our experts will advise you in detail on which home strength equipment is best suited to your goals and how to train properly with it. Our fitness experts have selected very specific exercises for you that will define your muscles and build your endurance step by step. If you train regularly and consistently pay attention to the correct execution, you will soon see and feel the first successes.
