It’s not how about how many hours you spend in the gym that counts, it’s about what you do with those hours that dictates your success and results. Generally there are two types of “normal” gym-goers – the ones who spend 2-3hrs in the gym and brag about it later to their friends and the ones who don’t have enough time to get to the gym for a workout and complain about it to their friends. Both groups would see much better results if they improve their training efficiency with density training.
Muscles are funny things. They respond to just about any type of training, as long as it’s hard and as long as it’s not the same damn thing you’ve always done. Its safe to say most wouldn’t have herd of the term “density training”. In density training you focus on the total amount of work you can accomplish in a fixed amount of time. As you progress, you’ll naturally increase your sets & reps and be able to use more weight. Lets say the total workout time (not including warm ups) is 30 minutes – the goal would be to complete as many reps or sets as possible in that time. Record how many you completed and aim to beat it next week. This works best with supersets of opposing muscle groups, for example: dumbbell shoulder press & lat pulldown or leg press & hamstring curls.
Why it works?
