Building Muscle Strength – 1 Tip To Triple Your Result

For anyone that wants to build muscle, building muscle strength is important, so that your muscles can lift heavier and heavier weights, which will in turn, grow bigger muscle. But did you know that the majority of people only get 33% out of every rep they do and could be building muscle strength much better and much faster with every rep?

This one tip will increase the benefit you get from every rep, and really help you with building muscle strength:

The problem is that there are 3 different types of muscle strength, but most people only concentrate on one of them. These 3 types of muscle strength are as follows:

  • Positive Strength – The strength required to lift the weight.
  • Static Strength – The strength required to hold the weight in place after lifting it
  • Negative Strength – The strength required to lower the weight back down to the starting position.

Where most people go wrong, is that they only concentrate on the first one, Positive Strength. They put all their efforts into lifting the weight up in the first place, but then immediately allow the weight to drop back to the starting position, without providing it with any resistance. Therefore, they are only getting 33% out of every rep.

So what should you be doing to really build muscle strength?

Simple! Take everything slowly and steadily when you are lifting weights.

  • Slowly lift the weight up to the top position, as you would normally do.
  • But instead of allowing it to drop back down straight away, hold it at the top of the motion and squeeze your muscles hard. This will help you in building muscle strength in the static strength level.
  • Now when you lower the weight back to the starting position, don’t just let it drop. Give it some resistance and slowly lower it back down. This will allow you to build negative muscle strength.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be taking 2 seconds for each action when completing a rep. So 2 seconds to raise the weight, 2 seconds holding it at the top of the motion, and 2 seconds lowering it back down. This will give you much better results in building muscle strength than just putting all your efforts into lifting the weight.

Lets take bench press as an example:

(I’ll assume everyone knows the general technique for doing bench press. If not do a quick search on youtube as there are loads of videos showing the correct technique.)

Okay so start off with the bar about level with your nipples (not up around your neck) and slowly lift the bar up to the top point of the motion. Now hold it here and squeeze the pectoral muscles hard for 2 seconds.

Then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, without letting it touch your chest. See how much more difficult this is and how much more you had to work? This is how you go about building muscle strength.
