Building Muscle: Is There An Optimal Workout Program? https://YouTube.com/PrimevallabsSupplements Is there an "Optimal" workout program for building muscle? There are a whole lot of muscle building gurus out there selling the "Ultimate Muscle Building Training Program" but the scientific evidence seems to not fully support a one size fits all program. Training Periodization: Periodization refers to the strategic approach to your workout program. Instead of going at your workout with intuition alone, this is a well thought out plan of action to follow. The benefit of periodizing your workouts is to assure you don't miss out on progressive overload in any particular department. Usually periodization cycles are broken up into blocks of time or even blocks during a training session. Periodization For Building Muscle: Here lies the problem... when the ultimate goal is building muscle aka muscle hypertrophy, periodization seems to have limited positive effects when compared to non periodized programs. Now to put this into context, this is assuming both groups are achieving muscle overload, better known as "going to failure". The issue with muscle hypertrophy is that there are many variables to consider. Unlike strength or power, it is hard to identify a specific block that would have the most impact, rather overload / volume seem to be the main drivers. What Is The Optimal Muscle Building Workout? As far as we can tell, the "Optimal" workout program for building muscle is one that brings you to overload consistently. This could be a well thought out periodization cycle or intuitive training. As long as you are pushing yourself to the point of progressive overload, recovering, and then repeating consistently... you can be assured that muscle growth will follow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe To Primeval Labs YouTube Channel ➡ https://YouTube.com/PrimevallabsSupplements More Savage Coaching Videos Dumbbell Lateral Raise (3 Tips) ➡ https://youtu.be/nMfWpcYLKNM 5 Tips To Being Successful On Your Diet ➡ https://youtu.be/AjNTyUdssp0 Do You Need Supplements? ➡ https://youtu.be/TBeERbmOobM
