We are about to step into a new strength training block here at Technofunc and boy am I excited for this one!
We will be having a change up in the training split to match Upper Body | Fullbody| Lowerbody Strength days Monday, Wednesday and Fridays! Which means you are hitting the muscle group more than you would be if your training schedule adds in those 3 days. Even more so and better results coming to those who have the VIP Membership upgrade for the Small Group PT upstairs, you guys will get 2 x upper days, 2 x lower days and 3 x Fullbody days!
So, carrying on….Having separate upper body and lower body training days can offer several benefits for individuals who are investing in their strength training and overall fitness. Here are some advantages of incorporating this training split into your workout routine:
1. Focus on Specific Muscle Groups: By dedicating specific days to upper body and lower body training, you can give focused attention to each muscle group. This allows for more thorough and targeted training of individual muscle groups, leading to better overall development and improved strength gains.
2. Enhanced Recovery: Training different muscle groups on separate days gives each muscle group ample time to recover before it is trained again. This helps prevent overtraining and reduces the risk of injury. Adequate recovery is crucial for muscle growth and overall progress in strength training.
3. Increased Training Volume: Splitting your workouts allows you to increase the overall training volume for each muscle group. Since you have more time and energy to dedicate to specific areas, you can perform more exercises and sets, leading to greater muscular stimulation and potential growth.
4. Improved Focus and Intensity: Focusing on either upper body or lower body during a workout allows you to channel your mental and physical energy more effectively. You can concentrate on specific movements and engage the targeted muscle groups with higher intensity, leading to improved performance and better results.
5. Time Efficiency: Training the entire body in a single session can be time-consuming, especially if you incorporate a variety of exercises. Splitting your workouts into upper and lower body days allows you to focus on fewer exercises per session, making your workouts more time efficient. This can be particularly beneficial if you have a busy schedule or limited time for each workout session.
6. Variation and Periodization: Having separate upper body and lower body training days enables you to introduce variation and implement periodization into your training program more effectively. You can vary the exercises, rep ranges, and training techniques for each muscle group based on your goals, promoting better muscle adaptation and avoiding plateaus.
Remember, the effectiveness of any training split depends on individual goals, preferences, and overall program design.
When designing these training blocks there is so much to consider factors such as your experience level, recovery capacity, and specific fitness objectives of our members and guests! Taking all of this into considerations plus the 13 years of experience we have in the industry changing your training block and adding new variations will keep your progress and strength gains on the up!
