Strength Training Workouts

Strength training workouts develop your body’s ability to exert force. They are designed specifically to induce changes in your musculature and nervous system that, when combined, result in an increased capacity to produce and transmit force to external objects. In short, strength training is all about moving more weight.

Here you’ll find resources dedicated to strength training. Perhaps the first article you should read is the principles of strength training.

You might find some of the principles surprising, especially if you’re a newbie lifter or you’ve been taking your training advice from flex magazine. As you’ll learn here, much conventional lifting wisdom is off the mark when it comes to building strength. It will pay to educate yourself about what does and does not work.

Strength training, like muscle building, utilises weight lifting exercises and routines. Many muscle building routines build strength, and many strength routines build muscle. However, strength and muscle mass are two very different things.

It is entirely possible to build strength without building muscle, and vice versa. In fact, if a routine is optimised for strength building, it probably won’t build too much muscle at all.
