AVOID OVERLOAD PLATEAU

-

R ’N’ R

Adequate nutrition, sleep and rest are essential to support the growth of your muscles.

SLOW AND STEADY

Gradually up the load imposed on your body. Incrementa­l increases in the total volume lifted within each lift or session will help you achieve greater strength.

BODY SHOCK

To stimulate your body to adapt and grow, you need to challenge it with new techniques – such as ‘time under tension’ (slowing down the movement to increase the time under load) or pauses within the movement to up the burn.
