Build muscle, it is the fitness goal of absolute majority boy, also have many friends because oneself is too thin, want to become strong and fitness.
Arm muscles and circumference are also a major target for muscle building partners. But if you're new, or even in the first two years of building muscle, you don't need to schedule exercises on your arm alone.
I'm sure you don't understand why I want to build muscle, but you don't want me to schedule my arm exercises.
Don't worry, just listen to me!
The stimulation of synergetic muscles cannot be completely avoided
Although the traditional muscle-building regimen is to isolate the target muscle as much as possible to increase the stimulation of the target muscle.
But we also need to understand that no matter how much you isolate a muscle, you can't isolate it completely. The corresponding muscles (muscles with similar contractile functions) are bound to be involved in generating force and getting some stimulation.
For example, if you push your pectorals, even if you raise the pectoralis major again and isolate the pectorals again, your anterior shoulder band and triceps will get some pressure and stimulation.
This kind of precise stimulation muscle, as far as a possible isolated training method, to local muscle stimulation effect is better. But for novices and regular fitness enthusiasts. It doesn't work as well as it should.
Because most people don't recover and eat well, it doesn't make much sense to struggle with that little boost.
If your recovery and diet are in place, then it is recommended to consider this kind of precise stimulation "refinement", absolutely isolated training.
The two most important muscle groups in our upper extremities are the chest and back, and if you train the chest and back, the muscles of the entire arm are nearly stimulated.
That said, even if you're only working on your chest and back, your arms are getting a nice kick.
Muscle recovery with high frequency
We all know, the muscle that got stimulation cannot be practiced every day, because such not only can affect the superabundance of fatigue muscle to recover, at the same time relevant training quality also drops greatly -- with twice the effort!
For the average amateur, usually good training stimulation, muscle recovery time is 48~72 hours.
If the muscle recovers within 24 hours, then the training intensity is low. If you haven't recovered for more than 96 hours, consider overtraining.
Less training intensity, too much training intensity, too much training will not achieve the ideal training effect.
In any sport, another key training principle for faster progress is "high frequency." The premise for this high frequency is to start the next session in time for the body to recover the relevant muscles.
When we're done with the pectorals, there's bound to be some stimulation in the front band of the head and shoulders, but the arm is not the main part of the workout, and it can take less than 48 hours to recover. However, if you start your arm training before the recovery is complete, it will definitely affect the recovery of the related muscles in the arm and the quality of the training in the lower arm.
But if you wait until the recovery is complete, it will take another 72 hours to recover. Then it will affect the chest muscle training frequency. If the arm does not complete the recovery of the start of chest training, then the recovery of the arm is affected, the quality of chest training will be greatly reduced!
Unless you can give your pectorals a workout that will last a week or so, the intensity of the workout will be downright unfriendly to both natural fitness enthusiasts and beginners!
Of course, there are also back exercises that need to be scheduled in relation to the arm, so your localized training schedule will be further affected.
The bottom line is: if you add arm training, your overall workout frequency drops dramatically. In the long run, your training efficiency is actually lower. Because you always miss the best time to stimulate the relevant muscles again!
If you make the training schedule more compact to increase the frequency, then the muscle involved is not overdone at all, which will affect the muscle recovery and eliminate the effort. This is obviously not a good deal!
