Intense Cycles For Advanced Lifters (Part 1)

Sooner or later all top lifters after years of experienced training and with an amazing physique will consider to just specialise in one type of lift. Normally they come to this decision as a motivation factor due to basically coming to a dead end. What I mean by that is that lifters end up training so hard just to maintain their physical strength and they stop achieving growth, so something has to change quickly.

What you really need to concentrate is your focus and the ability to change it, so instead to killing yourself every session, just do a couple of lifts at 100% and just maintain the rest. The effect on your body will be felt immediately as you you begin to recover a lot quicker and you will actually begin to see progress again.

If you were to apply these changes to body-building it would be like bringing up a lagging body part and improve balance and symmetry. You may choose to work on getting bigger legs and although other parts may be missing out at least you are making some progress, which is hell lot better than none.

You may not really want to make this change in training so before you do, just make certain that you are in fact doing everything possible to enhance your recovery ability. Take a look at your nutrition and targeted supplements as well as post training recovery methods such as hydrotherapy and massage. you need to follow a well structured training program as well as active rest and you must take a really good look at your lifestyle as maybe it is affecting your recovery time.

If you know you are slacking in your approach to restoration, or your training volume / frequency is inappropriate then sort it out before you go in for a specialised approach such as the one I am about to describe. However, if everything is perfect with your nutrition, restoration etc and you are simply no longer making progress, then give this a try.

Choose one lift in which you will specialise, and please bear in mind that cable crossovers and triceps kick backs are not "lifts"! A possible list of lifts commonly used by bodybuilders and their relating bodyparts would be something like this:

Standing Press: Deltoids, triceps. Weighted Chins: Lats, teres, rhomboids, biceps, rear delts. Bench Press: Pecs, front delts, triceps. Squat: Posterior chain (erectors, glutes, hamstrings), Quads. Deadlifts: Posteriors chain, quads, traps. Stiff Leg deadlifts: Posterior chain, traps.
