Training Tips

Volume. Intensity. Frequency.
Volume: 10-20 working sets per week per muscle group. Working sets refers to sets performed to within a few repetitions of failure.
Intensity: a somewhat subjective measure of how difficult the exercises are to perform. Intensity can be increased in many ways including less rest between sets, more reps per set or heavier weight. Medically intensity is measured by how increased the heart rate is during the activity.
Frequency: is how often a muscle group is exercised. How frequent you work a muscle group will effect both strength gains as well as hypotrophy, and will also depend on volume and intensity as well as individual recovery. Higher volume and intensity will require more recovery time while lower volume and less intensity will allow for faster recovery and more frequent workout. In general working a muscle group twice a week will be superior to working it out once a week. For an individual assessment and workout plan hiring one of our qualified and experienced personnel trainers will assure you are on a workout plan that has the appropriate volume intensity and frequency to match your individual goals
