Focus on Form and Fatigue for Effective Muscle Building
How many times have you walked into a gym and witnessed some muscle-bound guy throwing bicep curls (using really heavy weights) at the speed of light? He must know what it takes to build muscle right? Not necessarily. What he is doing is using momentum to move the weight upwards, so his muscles are not getting the full workout. He would get a much better “bulking up” experience by using a lighter weight in a slow and controlled movement. He should do this exercise for one repetition past fatigue and this would be one set; he should aim for three sets. He should then rest in-between sets, but for no longer than 30 seconds. Many muscular people have gotten that way by body-weight only exercises, so super heavy weights are not always needed for building muscle. It is a much more effective muscle building (German: effektiver Muskelaufbau) to focus on stellar form and ninja-like control.
