Strength And Muscle
Gomez Performance training incorporates class-leading workout routines geared towards developing mass and strength on the body, increasing chest, shoulders, size and calves.
Focusing on resistance weight training and well executed exercises like the squat, deadlift and shoulder press. These are a must for building a good strong foundation with chin-ups and bent over rows increasing strength in the posterior chain.
We all want to achieve our goals in the quickest easiest time using minimal effort to achieve this, however that brings on issues later on in our cycle, as shortcuts are not always the best route to get permanent results. Therefore, building this slowly with a macrocycle designed for small increments will give us permanent results when transforming into an athlete.
Training needs to be tailored to not over train the body in this phase more rest is needed, recovery sessions are key to improving. These need to be added in micro cycle sessions to improve overall development. In aid of training for these attributes it is advised you have sports massages regularly and some sessions involve solely on flexibility and mobility movement to help with the increased functional gains.
strength
Getting stronger is the foundation of everyday acts of athleticism and it is not limited to muscle size and capacity. When you get stronger, you lose weight, run faster, and hit harder.
It is what helps us develop in the gym to progress onto the next level of athleticism. Starting with the basics, learning to train each individual body part to understand how the body moves, building the body with what is known as “bodybuilding” is fundamental to understand how our body shapes and develops through split training routines we can learn how individual muscles feel when they are trained. Once we have a foundation of good movement and have adjusted our imbalances we can then progress onto more complex strength training programmes. Such as; (*They are in no specific order)
- nSuns (novice/intermediate)
- Madcow 5×5 (intermediate/advanced)
- Building the Monolith (intermediate/advanced)
- GZCL (intermediate)
- Wendler 5/3/1 (intermediate)
- GZCLP (novice/intermediate)
- Ivysaur 4-4-8 (novice)
- Strong Lifts 5×5
These selection of programmes are all aimed at increasing your force output.
Muscle
What is the necessity for the increase of muscle mass. Focusing on building dense muscles will increase the body’s fat burning potential to shred fat. The leaner we are the more anabolic our body will be, developing mass even if you’re a weight categories athlete will not only improve your body composition but also take your performance to the next level, we have to remember when building mass it is key to reduce body fat%.
Does that mean you’ll be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger? No, because no one can get that big without consistency and life commitment, plus why would you want to be that big and not move like a lightweight. Here at Valiant Performance Personal Training Epsom All Round Athlete we work on being an instrument not an ornament. That means by focusing on developing the muscles, it’s not just about size but more importantly, developing them for the use of strength, speed = POWER!
It acts as our outer shell of protection, the more dense muscle we have the more protection we have at impact. Sports such as rugby will need the extra muscular mass, when it comes to weight category sports this is not needed as much.
Anatomy Of Human Body
The anatomy of the human body is perfectly designed as we have small machinery hard at work inside of us, now that is the same principle as how a car engine works, it had to be carefully fit together with thought, our bodies our so much more complex than a formula 1 car; and we didn’t wait 2.4billion years until we could eventually land ourselves on a self made McLaren formula 1 car, its just not logical. To think we were spontaneously formed by a big bowl of soup and that we came from monkeys is an absolute load of rubbish.
You have so many Atheistic views on science in the UK however not many theistic views.
