How to Get Your Best Physique By Training Like a Pro Athlete
Monday, August 1st, 2011I tell you the amazing benefits of intense training are demonstrated by pro atheletes . You admire their tight, shapely, physiques. Do you ever really think of the other amazing advantages of training like an athelete ?
To train like a pro athlete means you work toward several goals at one time :
Superb coordination and reflexes
Sleek, lean muscle mass
Endurance and ability to train past the lactic threshold
Functionality
Speed
Athletic training enhances your performance regardless of why you train. Whether you are looking to compete in a triathlon or just want to bring your best game to the softball field, training like a pro ensures ultimate preparedness.
Fundamentals of a pro athlete workout
Training time: train 3 times a week with full body workouts. Incorporate strength training exercises, plyometrics, and interval cardiovascular exercise with each session.
Your best training schedule should be as follows:
Sunday- rest
Monday- strength training
Tuesday- rest
Wednesday- hypertrophy training
Thursday- rest
Friday- fat burner training
Saturday- rest
Pro athlete strength training
Your strength-training program should focus on a variety of compound movements. Work between 4 and 6 compound movements at a 5 RPM. Compound movements allow you to work more than one joint at a time. Lifting at a 5 RPM means you lift heavy enough to fail on your 6th repetition.
Work in at least one superset, or sets where you perform two exercises back to back without rest. A traditional superset also works two opposite muscle groups like the back and chest, or quads and hamstrings.
Below are some recommend compound exercises :
Legs- back squat, front squat, stiff-legged deadlift, standing calve raises
Back- barbell row, single arm dumbbell row, pull ups
Chest- pushups, incline dumbbell chest press, flat bench press, chin dips
Shoulders- standing lateral dumbbell raise, military press, Arnold press
Arms- barbell curls, hammer curls, triceps bench dips, French press
Athlete hypertrophy training
Many strategies can be used for hypertrophy training. Hypertrophy is when your muscles gain size without producing new cells. A good method for hypertrophy is to perform sessions of supersets with little rest in between.
You may also choose to decrease your weight to an 8 RPM and perform 3 sets of each superset. It is best to use compound movements as you did on day one. You may also want to add a session of tabata or HIIT at the end of your workout.
Fat burner training like a pro athlete
Burning fat occurs when you increase the intensity of your workout, thus demanding a larger energy output from your entire skeletal muscular system.
Your final workout of the week will be most demanding and you should feel entirely drained of energy by this point. Your workout will consist of at least 3 supersets using compound strength training movements. Decrease your load so you perform at a 20 RPM. This time you will only complete 2 sets of 20 reps.
At then end of your strength training workout, add in a metabolic circuit that lasts at least 4 minutes .
Results
By applying these methods into your workout plan, you will see changes in your body shape, muscles tones, and decrease in body fat quite rapidly . Within a few months, your body will be completely transformed into that athletic physique you admire.
