The Keys to Power and Strength - The Training.

• As a general rule, do not train each bodypart more than twice per week to help prevent overtraining.
• Train with intensity. Keep reps between 6-8 reps and concentrate on moving the weight with a powerful motion.
• Stick to the basic weight training exercises like Squats, Bench Presses, Barbell Rows etc. They are much better at stimulating lean muscle growth because they work the larger muscle groups
• Weight training sessions should not last more than 40 minutes, if they do you could run the risk of overtraining.
