Complex Training
The idea behind complex training is to build muscle mass (strength training) AND develop movements that are activity-specific (jump higher, throw harder, etc.) The word used to describe this development of movements is called "plyometrics."
Weightlifting, or strength training, activates the fast-twitch muscle fibers that are responsible for explosive power. Plyometric movement stresses the
muscle fibers that have been activated by the strength-training movement. In short, complex training can teach slow-twitch muscle fibers to perform like fast-twitch fibers.
Plyometrics is relatively safe for most people. But the movements are intense and highly focused with many repetitions, so a great deal of stress is put on joints and tendons. Safety should be the primary concern for this method of exercise.
There are some low-intensity versions of plyometrics are often used in varying degrees during rehabilitation following injuries. So with the proper safety precautions, you can see that plyometrics is not only safe, but very useful on many different levels.
Bodybuilders who engage in plyometric training should already have a high degree of physical strength and flexibility. They should also be injury free. Some of the safety considerations are:
Age: Those engaging in plyometric training should be older than 13 years of age. Those who are 13 or under should only undertake low-intensity training with few reps.
Weight: Athletes who weigh more than 240 pounds should only engage in low-intensity plyometric training.
Technique: Correct technique and form are essential to prevent injury. No athlete should attempt plyometric training until they have had proper instruction.
Surface: Grass is okay. Gym mats are fine. But plyometrics should never be done on a hard surface like concrete or an unpadded hard floor.
Footwear: It is essential that well-fitting, adequately cushioned footwear be used at all times.
BONUS : Consumable Bodybuilding Products
When you get into bodybuilding, you will most likely make a visit to your local health food store to find a product that will help you achieve your goals. When you walk in, the first thing you are going to experience is a feeling of being overwhelmed by the choices. Next, you will experience vast confusion when you start reading labels and comparing products.
So, which product do you need? The chances are good that you actually need more than one and be prepared, as they are not cheap. The products that you need will depend greatly on what it is that you hope to achieve. Unfortunately, not all consumable bodybuilding products do as they promise.
The best thing that you can do for yourself, before visiting the health food store, is to hire a good nutritionist to help you plan your meals. A good nutritionist will also point you in the right direction concerning supplements that you need. You may think that you cannot afford the services of a nutritionist, but when you look at the prices of the products that are offered, you will see that you would do well to buy the right products the first time around instead of wasting thousands of dollars on the wrong products.
In most cases, your nutritionist will have you purchase a good multivitamin, and may have you purchase individual vitamins as well. You will most likely need a good source of protein, such as whey protein. Other products that will most likely be recommended include flaxseed oil, creatine, thermogenic products, and glutamine.
If natural bodybuilding is your goal, you will want to avoid all prohormone supplements, testosterone supplements, and diuretics. Taking these types of supplements, as well as steroids, will get you banned from all natural bodybuilding competitions.
So, when it comes to consumable bodybuilding products, seek the advice of a good nutritionist first, and even if you don't do that, go for the vitamins, the whey protein, flaxseed oil, creatine, thermogenics, and glutamine. Ignore all of the other stuff, unless it is recommended by your nutritionist.
