Please do not make the mistake of thinking that if you train with weights and do cardio that you will get results. Trust me lifting weights and doing cardio absolutely does not mean that you will change your physique for the better.
All training is communication with the body. You want that communication to be as clear as possible. There is one word that when it is applied will make the communication clear every rep through every set.
The word is INTENSITY.
I will try to be as clear as possible when describing this word since I assure you it is most important factor in my training success.
Intensity can be defined as a application of maximum effort systemically applied to a technical motor skill.
Here are some extremely important things to remember when dealing with this most important of training subjects
You must be experienced in a technique before intensity is applied, otherwise you might be injured.
For intensity to truly be reached physical discomfort must be mastered.
In trying to achieve intensity you must be mentally prepared to the pain that often accompanies it.
The brain must be taught to reinterpret pain as pleasure for as least as long as you are in your set.
This can be done in one of three ways
(1) constant effort
(2) repetitive exposure
(3) absolute determination to SUCCEED.
(4)
You must learn to take victory over pain to achieve true physique changing intensity. When that intensity is achieved massive muscle gains or firmly shaped muscles will be the visible signs of your victory!
