Workout question
2010-03-17 I got a good question yesterday:
Q. I wonder one thing about your training in the gym.
All the photos and videos from the gym show you doing almost always the same exercises. And you write that you go quite often to the gym. But when do you give your muscles some rest. Usually, personal trainers, say that if you have worked out hard on a certain muscle group you should then let it rest for 3-4 days. But you don't seem to do that. Why?
And Pierre seems like an expert, so I'm sure you're doing the right thing. But I would like to know why you seem to train the same muscles quite often, without actually letting them recover.
I hope you can answer this question here, or in the next Q&A ! Thanks !
Good Luck for the tournament !!
A. I talked to Pierre about it yesterday and have discussed it many times before as well. I'm gonna try to give you a good answer:
We do vary our training quiet a bit between cardio, olympic lifting, stabilizing exercises, core exercises, and lots of others. Although, we do olympic lifting a lot more often than once every 3-4 days. When doing those exercises you don't use the muscles in the same way as you do in a traditional body-building exercise where you contract the muscle combined with holding on to the weight on the way down. You have probably seen the best olympic lifting guys throwing down the bars after having the bar on stright arms. Also, when doing olympic lifting exercises you use all muscles in your body, not just a few as in a bicep curl. When completely tiring yourself out doing bicep curls, the bicep needs 3-4 days of rest. When I do olympic lifting, I don't feel any specific musle being totally drained. The whole body is tired but not to en extreme where it needs to rest for a few days. If you want to gain a huge amount of muscle fast you need to get on a body-building program doing 10-12 repetitions in each set. We do just a few repetitions on every move. I want to get as strong as I can weighing around 76 kilograms. It's hard to explain all this when I trying to write down what Pierre tells me. He would be better explaining this himself and he might have time later on.
Stuffing myself with protein now to get a good start of the day:) Excited for another practice round. Yesterday's practice round took around 5 hours and I played by myself. I like it when I can hit around 15-20 chips and bunker shots around each green and a lot of putts to get the feel for the greens.
It's nice to have Colin back as well. He always makes me work hard and smart.
