Strength Training Goals
• Lose fat mass• Gain fat free muscle mass (FFM)• Gain muscle strength
• Avoid:Avoid:• Loss of FFMLoss of FFM– Increase carbohydrate & protein intake Increase carbohydrate & protein intake

Protein Needs, Supplements & Steroids

Protein Needs, Supplements & Steroids
• Protein, mineral & vitamin supplementation is advertised
to improve energy levels & muscle strength.
• Research does not support this claim.
• Balanced diet = sufficient nutrientsBalanced diet = sufficient nutrients
4
Protein Needs, Supplements & Steroids• Steroids = ergogenic aids.
• Use of a nutritional, physical, mechanical, psychologic or
pharmacologic procedure to improve athletic performance.
• Anabolic steroids: taken in pill or liquid (injected) form to increase
muscle size & strength.
• Illegal: Illegal:
– Harmful to health
– Unfair advantage over other competitors.

Balancing Muscles
• Always select pairs of exercises to help balance the strength & size of
opposing muscle groups.
• Important for creating strong joints and developing a proportional
physique and good posture.
• Muscle pairs:

Avoid Over-training
• Overtraining: a condition in which there is a plateau or drop
in performance over a period of time.
• Occurs when the body does not have enough time to recover
adequately from training before the next training session.
• Risk factors:
– Not resting between sessions
– Working out too aggressively
– Too many training sessions in one week
8
Avoid Over-training
• Warning signs:
– Extreme muscular soreness & stiffness the day after a training session.
– Gradual increase in muscular soreness from one training session to the
next.
– Decrease in body weight.
– Inability to complete a training session that you would normally
complete.
– Decrease in appetite.
9
Avoid Over-training
• Prevention: if you develop one or more of the above symptoms you
should reduce intensity, frequency & duration until signs disappear.
• It is better to prevent overtraining than try recover from it.
• Prevention:
– Increase training intensity gradually.
– Alternate aggressive & less aggressive training weeks (allow sufficient recovery)
– Get adequate amount of sleep.
– Eat properly (balanced diet).
– Adjust intensity as necessary.
10
Warm-up & Stretching
• Warm-up is important because of demands placed on muscles.
• Warm-up includes:
– 5 minute jog: increases blood flow to muscles, enables muscles to
contract & relax with greater ease.
– Stretching routine: moving joints through full range of motion to
prepare for exercises & prevent injury.
– Exercises with light weights: perform the same exercises as your
program with lighter weights to prepare for heavier weights to come.
