relatively high. That means hitting the body parts a minimum of twice a week. In some cases, you can go as high as three times a week; once again, depending on how much volume, how intensely a person is training, and the nutrition levels of the athlete. Of course, with nervous system training, one has to build up gradually. So in a very new athlete, nervous system training might incorporate whole body training only three times per week.

As a person progresses and more volume can be handled, the body parts are typically split up. So on the three-day program, it would be maybe full body workouts; on a four-day, it would be maybe upper body and lower body. Afterwards, you would go to maybe a five or even six-day routine for the serious athlete. This allows a significantly higher frequency and also the ability to bomb body parts over and ov

It is important to understand the two different aspects of training that is involved when you are trying to build bigger muscles. The two aspects are your nervous system versus your body part training. Both need to be incorporated in a holistic routine in order to maximize growth. In this article, we are going to demonstrate briefly some of the things that you need to consider.

The first thing to consider when examining your routine is the training effect on the nervous system. With the beginning trainee, their nervous system’s capacity to handle intense exercise is quite limited. Therefore, it makes sense that the individual should be working on their nervous system capacity as opposed to body part training. Unfortunately, most athletes or beginning trainees make the mistake of trying to copy a cookie cutter routine out of the magazines or a routine of a professional bodybuilder.

The problem with following a pro’s routine is that the routine generally far exceeds the capacity of the individual’s ability to train. The individual quickly spirals into overtraining, gets discouraged, and sometimes quits training altogether. Not an inspiring success story, that is for sure. Why is it that a novice trainee or even an intermediate bodybuilder over trains when following a pro’s routine? All things being equal it is because the advanced athlete or pro’s nervous system capacity for work is much higher than the aspiring trainees. The professional has probably spent 10 years minimum increasing his body’s capacity for training.

So, what does nervous system training involve? Well specifically with the beginner, almost any type of training will work. This fact is one of the biggest reasons there is so much confusion in training modalities in the body building market. Typically, any training that you perform at first places demands that are so much higher than your regular nervous system output, some results inevitably occur.

Unfortunately, most athletes have incorporated a great deal of bad habits in this early training, which ultimately spells failure down the road. For best results over the short and long term the beginner and intermediate trainee should incorporate training that increases the nervous system’s capacity for training. So what does this nervous system training include?

Nervous system training typically involves training specific exercises through specific planes and motions with an eye on frequency, volume, and exercise selection. In other words, what is typically called multi-joint exercises are incorporated as the foundation of the training. These would be your classic exercises like squats, bent over rows, pull-downs, dips, benches; these sort of multi-joint exercises.

When system training, one should train groups of body parts together to maximize the overload for a specific area. In other words, you would train body parts such as chest, shoulders and triceps on one day; back, biceps on another day, and legs on another day. There are lots of different ways you can mix this up, depending on the amount of time you have available as well as how long you wish to work out and also at how fast you wish to progress.

Another consideration when training the nervous system is that one has to pay particular attention on the frequency of training. Generally, you need to keep the frequency relatively high. That means hitting the body parts a minimum of twice a week. In some cases, you can go as high as three times a week; once again, depending on how much volume, how intensely a person is training, and the nutrition levels of the athlete. Of course, with nervous system training, one has to build up gradually. So in a very new athlete, nervous system training might incorporate whole body training only three times per week.

The other aspect of building a symmetrical physique to look at is individualized body part training. Size of course is not everything; especially in the body building world. One wants to have the physique look aesthetically pleasing as well as developing large muscles. So in body part training, the exercise selection becomes more isolated. Generally there is more volume of sets in a body part session and the body parts are trained less frequency. So to sum it up, you do more exercises, more volume in isolating particular body parts.

Typically at this more advanced stage, a person is looking to sculpt the physique, work on specific weak points, to balance the physique and to create a more symmetrical look. Also, this increases the separation and general appearance of each of the muscle groups. In body part training, typically the frequency that you hit a body part is much less than you would on nervous system training. So a body part might only get hit once a week, but that one session would be extremely intense, overloading that muscle in every possible manner and then moving on to the next body part on the following day. Typically in body part training, you would cycle more exercises through a rotation of maybe three, four or five weeks, going back and forth so that maximal development of every aspect of the physique is achieved.

Now in order to create balanced growth as well as size, one must alternate back and forth between the nervous system training and body part training. This is so that a person can achieve maximal growth as well as minimizing any detriments to the physique. Always, you have body parts that are growing better than others and so the isolation body part training can allow you to re-evaluate your weak points and overcome these inherent weaknesses in your physique. By doing so, we build not only a large body but also a symmetrical body. The question then arises; how do I know when and where to switch between nervous system training and body part training?

There is no set rule on this however; one must look at it from this point; typically, the more inexperienced a trainee is, the more time they need to spend on nervous system training. Most trainees will benefit from two or three years of primarily nervous system training. So for example, one might spend three to six months just on nervous system training alone and briefly switch to a body part training for maybe 12 weeks before going back to another nervous system training routine. You would repeat this for a year or so, and then gradually working more body part training sessions in with the nervous system training.

Another thing to consider is during nervous system training, calorie restrictions is definitely not recommended. An overload of nutrients and calories is required in order to maximize growth. Often times during nervous system, we are not so much concerned with the finer aspects of physiques or physique building. Therefore, you pile in the calories to keep as much anabolic activity occurring so that the maximum amount of growth is achieved.

After several years of cycling between training styles one would benefit by making the switch to body part training and incorporate a low calorie diet. This factors a couple of things; one, you strip down the layer of body fat that has been built to reveal what is really muscle.
