Proper Form is a main key when doing many exercises.
No Form No Muscle!

Saurus · 09-07-2006, 03:46 AM

The fast concentric (positive) movement trains the nervous system, the slow eccentric (negative) movement trains the muscle.

The concentric (upward) part of a lift is the most demanding on the nervous system, because the most number of motor units must be activated. Therefore, lift concentrically fast, so that you force your nervous system to learn to lift a load.

The eccentric (downward) part of a lift is the most demanding on the muscle tissue itself, as fewer motor units are activated by the nervous system, exposing them to damage. It is this damage that causes growth.

Hence, perform your eccentrics slowly to see the best growth. Conversely, a slow concentric and a fast eccentric is a waste of time!

Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink water. By the time you feel the thirst you're already dehydrated.

"Make sure you warm-up before training, and cool-down after training, Including some stretches/flexability before and after training"

Stay focused on what you are doing.

If you are not focused on what you are doing you will not be able to push your body enough in order to make positive gains. A lack of concentration or becoming distracted can result in serious injury as well.

Constantly staring at members of the opposite sex or talking with friends during body building programs has led to many people hurting themselves over the years.

You also run the risk of injuring someone else in the gym.

Almost all body building programs will require a period of lifting heavy weights. During these weight lifting exercises you have to concentrate and pay close attention to everything you are doing, from the second you walk into the gym until you leave.

Avoid alcohol after training.

Alcohol interferes with the release of Growth Hormone (a hormone which ensures that protein is transported to your muscles) by the pituitary gland. Most Growth hormone is released while you are sleeping, so make sure there's not too much alcohol in your system when you sleep.
