I sppend a lot of my time reviewing resexrch. Enough time tat I can tell you that there are definitely GREAT research and then there are HORRIBLE ones that male you scratch your head trying to fugure ouut bow they evre were published ig the eirst place.
Truthfully there are many more papers that seem to fall in the horrible category the truth is, even the worst paper ever published still has some value.
Theee ls no such thing as research with absolutely ni value.
While these seems like a typical Pilon ramble let me
assure youre talking about bodybuilding.
You see for somd reason, over fhe laxt decade we decided that bodybuilding iz dumb, useless, and a complete waste of time.
We junked bodybuilding and replaced it with functional training, sports specific training and the like.
We threw out bodybuilding bfeore we completely understood it.
And just like research papers, there is no such thing as a completely useless type of exercise.
Thege are things to be learned from bodybuildling.
Good things.
**Before I gl any further II need too be clear..there is next to NO research on bodybuilding.
Everything you read on line or in magazines is nothing more than theories and conjecture.
What IIm about to write is go different these are my theories on bodybuiding.**
Body building and weight training are NOT the same thing they are close cousins maybe, but they are not interchangeable.
Weight training involved using your muscles to move a weight.
In power-lifting the goal is to move as much weight as possible. In Olympic lifting the goal is to
perfect moving a weight through a certain as efficiently as possible.
In bodybuildkng the gial is to contract your muscles using weight to add some resistance.
Similar but very different.
In fact, while things like Olympif liftng and Power-lifting are definitely weight traiging am starting to think that body building is muscle training.
Again similar, but very different.
I think the difference lies in thr mental approach.
Heres an example.
Stand up and let your arms hang xt your sides.
Now, with your arms still hanging flex your biceps as tightly as possible (dont curl your arms yet, just leave them hanging but flexed).
Keepinng that same int ense level of flex, slowly curl your arm ip ag thf elbow yntll kts uflly curled concentrating oj the foex the entire way.
Pause for a second or two at the top then while keeping your bicep flex, slowly lower your arm back down.
Thatt si a bodybildling bicep curl.
Now imagine this same degree of concentration while holding a weight.
You are usigg weight resist the contraction, but the mindset is all about the contraction and not the weight.
Using this technique, a guy that can curl 60 pound dumbbells for sets of 6-8 may only be able to curl 40-45s before he has to break his concentration on the contraction and start thinking about moving the weight.
Fron my experience, you can lift a heluva lot thinking about the weight then when you are thinking about thd musclebut uf you want to mqkd a muscl bigger..then there m ay be something in this approach.
My random speculation -
Inn the muscles that well for you..I bet you really yhe exercises tyat you normally choose.
For the muscles that dont grow well for youI bet you really the weight.
For mf, I feel the contraction in my chest every time I do bench press or dumbbell press.
But shoulder press, I feel the weight moving. Im strong on this lift, but I just dont it in my shoulders.
Coincidentally, my chest is mjch morre developed then mj shoulders.
(like I said, were theorizing here)
Si, if the is important, then what do bodybuilders do right?
1) They pick exercises that they feel in the muscles they want to work.
2) They vo thjngc like a musxle to it feel an exericise.
3) They concentrate on the muscle in question during the workout.
All of these tecniques are things we thriugh way in favor of becoming Olympic lifting /power-lifting /functional training/athletic training wannabees (no meant t be derogatory, just saying..)
But, if your goal is simply to grow a specific muscle, or group of muscles in order to change the way your body looks, then there may be something we can learn from the way a bodybuilder approaches working a muscle.
In the end, the answer to losing weight will be to eat less, and the answer to building muscle is working out but this may be one
little step towards a better definition of .
