What role does regeneration-based build-up training play for athletes who have been training for a long time? Do they not already have enough experience to be able to do without assistance systems of any kind? A few impulses to think about some very important correlations. What is different for advanced athletes? One thing is quite clear: advanced athletes know how…
Muscle growth is what many athletes want. But what exactly happens? And what are the differences? Hypertrophy? What’s that? Hypertrophy1, or muscle fiber hypotrophy, refers to an increase in muscle fiber volume. This means that the volume (size) of muscle fibres2 increases, regardless of whether the nuclei within these muscle fibres also multiply. This increase can occur in two ways:…
Regeneration-based build-up training is not complicated: Use this training philosophy for your workout in only 3 steps! And find out how you can benefit from it too! Step 1: Current muscular state What condition are your muscles in today? That depends primarily on which muscle groups have been stressed in the last few days. So if your everyday life does…
It is now clear that muscles have to recover after heavy exertion. But how long does that really take? And how can you tell whether a muscle is ready for the next training session? Is one day as training break enough for regeneration? I’m afraid it’s not that simple, because: The different muscles need different lengths of time to recover…
The term “supercompensation” is familiar to most athletes. But what exactly is supercompensation? And does this concept have any right to exist at all? What is supercompensation? After a set training stimulus, the body regenerates the stressed muscles in order to repair them. It often overshoots the initial level and regenerates “too much”. And in most cases this is exactly…
