There's that moment in most people's lives when it comes to training where they begin to take this more seriously. The results are there for everyone to see once this happens, they go from being in decent shape to really fulfil their potential.
Let us focus on making your time in the gym and outside of it more productive in getting better results, from today onwards.
There are MANY things you can do, here are 3 for you to apply instantly.
1. Rest periods
Are you resting for as long as you need or for as long as you should? Realistically, your rest periods should be no longer than 90-120 seconds between sets. By keeping a closer eye on your rest periods you are instantly going to increase the level of intensity you are working at. This will lead to added overload within the muscle, greater stress on energy systems, heightened oxygen debt and increased calorie burning.
2. Rep tempos
The importance of rep tempo in general and ways to manipulate it to illicit a better response. However, for most people just sticking to the prescribed rep tempo will make a huge difference!! If you are aiming for 4 second negatives, then that means doing it on every rep of every set. As we fatigue it's human nature to want to compromise on this, but just try for one entire session to stick to this without fail and see the difference it really makes.
3. Meal prep
Your results will improve immensely if you get into the habit of prepping your meals as a daily habit and continue this through the weekends (where many fall down). Like the above two points, just by committing to doing what you should be doing anyway will make the biggest difference to your results.
If you combine the 3 points above without compromise for 4 weeks you WILL see a difference, imagine what 12 months could do . . .
