THERE IS NO ONE “BEST WAY” to lift weights.
At fitnessrevolution.com we customize your lifting based the result you want and teach you to “count your way” to the body you want.
If you simply want to lose weight you will go through several phases of training and each has a specific type of lifting involved to gain a training effect. The weight you lift will be based on the amount of weight you can safely and easily lift. There are exact percentages that you will lift and a style of lifting that you will do. The style is the key. Don’t just casually lift the weight, concentrate on the FORM.
DID YOU KNOW?
If you are a body builder generally you will lift with a four count. You will push out slowly for two counts and resist the weight slowly for two counts while going through specific phases of training. Even in these phases, the counts may vary.
If you are an athlete, you will want to use a power push for a one count and a two count for resistance. This is a total of three counts.
You will see lots of people in the gym lifting to a two count. That is one count out and one count in. This is not the right way to lift. Generally these people are counting their reps and they are thinking only about completing the reps and not thinking about each individual rep. For example, a person lifting to complete 15 reps might be saying in their head something like one, two, three – and only counting the reps. If that person were thinking correctly, it would be “one -two-three, two-two-three, three-two three. In other words, just throwing the weight up and dropping it back without RESISTING WEIGHT as the exercise is performed is actually dangerous. The weight is being dropped back onto the tendons, joint areas and connective tissues – and for micro seconds, the weight is being handled by the connective tissue and not the muscle tissue because the weight is not supported by the muscles. This is bad form and can lead to serious injury.
