Great 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.

One way around this is to focus on one or two lifts at a time whilst simply maintaining your other lifts. By doing this you are asking less of your body's recuperative abilities, hence allowing your body to recover between training sessions and start making some progress again.

From a bodybuilding perspective this same approach can be used to bring up a lagging body part and improve balance and symmetry. For most of you this will mean growing some feckin legs! The downside is that you can not expect progress in all lifts, but ask yourself this...would you rather make progress in some lifts or none?

Before you decide to take this approach to your training you need to make sure you are already doing all you can to enhance your recovery ability. How is your nutrition? Targeted supplementation? Physical means of restoration such as hydrotherapy and massage? Pedagogical means such as a well structured program of training including active rest where appropriate? Is everything already impeccable or are there improvements that you could make?

If you think you do have poor approach to restoration, or your training volume / frequency isn't appropriate, then you need to put it right before even thinking about turning to the specialised training program that I am about to reveal. On the other hand, if you think you are ready and your nutrition and restoration are on track, you will be extremely interested in the following.

You will be pleased to know that I am actually going to let you choose your own speciality lift, remembering though that cable crossovers and triceps kick backs aren't "lifts"! Below though you will find a complete list of what I consider to be lifts used in body-building covering all of the different related body parts;-

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.

Part 2 coming soon or just go and find it on the mickhart blog if you cant wait.
