Progress in bodybuilding, my experience

Progression in bodybuilding , my experience.

The increase in weight is a topic often discussed, it is synonymous for some PTO or muscle gain. Unfortunately in bodybuilding there is little concrete factor to gauge its progress, some count the number of sets and repetitions of other tries to put a little heavier each session to convince themselves that they are progressing ...
Phase 1

In an optical muscle gain, I noticed that there were two important and distinct steps, in the beginning there was the period of learning or practicing learns his basic movements and begins to gain strength and muscle . This period lasted about 1 year and a half for me and I went from one bar to the empty bed and squat 100 kg on both bars. During this phase, I did not try to isolate muscles or catch my weaknesses, because I did not have enough muscle mass to the inventory.
Phase 2

I noticed that I was not someone quite naturally now my max is not very high, the increase in strength of the first year of practice has slowed. Conversely it is muscle gain which is set to accelerate, I found that after exceeding the 100/110 series kg bench press my chest is actually made of volume, ditto for the raised earth today teases with 200kg. I think every person has an "optimal" load where it will be able to juggle different protocols intensifications to vary the mechanical stresses and therefore does not stagnate. The easiest way to gain muscle is easy to set up (in his head) "I have to make sure to put a little heavier each session and what is good." If this method works quite well when you start phase 1 therefore reached phase 2, it is much harder, even for those who trains specifically for strength. In this phase, work in isolation should begin to be practiced regularly in order to create more detail, something I checked on myself abandoning the classical work and well framed by replacing labor long series up to burn or pyramidal, etc..
Ego problem

It is always good for morale to push heavier than its neighbor or see the bar bend the deadlift or squat but unfortunately making max too often gets slower nervous level and we can not enchainer the trainings of bodybuilding day after day.

Personally I'd rather spend the work room fitness for the development of my muscle mass. For my work performance (Ex:. Intense cardio, weightlifting technical, gymnastics, etc.) I include a second activity once or twice per week. It makes me feel fuller more efficient and most importantly, I found the excitement that awaits Beginner 1st signs of progress icon wink Progression en musculation, mon expérience
