How to Maximize Muscle Growth without the Help of Heavy Weights

September 2, 2016 By Admin

We all have different ideas and beliefs when it comes to finding out how to maximize muscle growth. Many people believe that lifting heavy weights is essential to build muscle mass, but there are also some who insist that muscles can also grow with light weights. So, if this is the first time you’re going to attempt to develop your muscle mass and size, which method should you go for?

On the one hand, lifting heavy weights is a proven effective method for increasing muscle mass and strength. But what’s been surprising to many is the fact that one can have bigger and stronger muscles without having to lift extremely heavy weights. Yes, and by incorporating Kaatsu training in your program, you’ll be happy to see the improvements in your body in no time.

Try incorporating these modes of non-heavy weight training into your strength training program to see how they can affect your muscle development.

LIGHT BAR SPEED WORK

 

Speed work is any form of strength training that utilizes a really low percentage on one’s maximal weight. By lifting weights with greater speed, your stretch reflex is trained harder, as well as your ability to build momentum in a shorter period of time. This also leads to the recruitment of more muscle fibers. According to experts, this is the ideal training for those engaged in sports involving using huge amounts of force quickly.

SPRINTING

 

Sprinting is the muscle-building form of cardio that helps with cardiovas cular health, while at the same time boosting muscle growth. In comparison to long-distance running, sprinting can reduce the impact because of the shorter running time. Take note, however, that sprinting can be more intense.

As you learn how to stimulate muscle growth using sprinting, remember that it should not make you too tired as this may affect the quality of your main training. And if you can’t sprint on a track, a good option is cycling. Keep in mind also that you aren’t supposed to do cardio on the same day as your heavy lifting session. See to it also that you get enough calories and sleep in order to maximize muscle recovery.

Bottom Line

 

In order for you to maximize your strength potential, it’s vital that you incorporate sprints and speed work. Make sure that you also improve your body’s lean muscle mass to make it easier to get bigger and stronger. And lastly, don’t forget to use Kaatsu bands during your workouts. Kaatsu or blood flow restriction bands play a very important role in improving the size and strength of the muscles even when no heavy weight lifting is performed. Talk to a personal fitness trainer about Kaatsu and learn how it can work like magic on your body!
