On and Off-Season Bodybuilding
I’ve heard about off-season & in-season training, but I’m quite confused. What do these mean? How many seasons are there in bodybuilding? And how should one train during theses seasons?
As a free and unbridled weight trainer, you have the privilege and right to train as you please and discover firsthand the attributes of different lifting methodology.
Try each program for four to five weeks and see how you respond and how you enjoy one compared to the other. You have plenty of time for the greatest teacher of all, trial and error.
The training styles are all good, worth the investment of time and energy, and you will move forward. Sometimes trainees will choose a program that suits his or her nature. Are you a high rep or low rep personality?
High reps can be good for trimming, conditioning, pumping or treating injuries. They can be also excessive and boring.
Medium reps fit all purposes.
Low reps are generally used for bulking and increasing power, but can be also an injury risk.
That’s why I like to mix the reps — to get the benefits and rewards of all three.
Carry on… God’s speed… dd
