Westfit Personal Training Methodology
Our methodology is based on the principles of building muscle... “OLDE SKOOL
BODYBUILDING.” Bodybuilding/Resistance training is muscle group specific. This method of training is used in Professional Bodybuilding. It doesn’t mean that you will develop large bulky muscles. The technique strengthens and tightens your physique.
Our observation at Westfit is that it is possible to shrink in dress sizes and not lose a pound. This is not true for everyone but is more common than not. Westfit Personal Training does not apply Powerlifting Philosophies. When we are building our clients bodies, how much they can lift 1rm (one rep max) is not important if their body is not healthy and functionally fit. The New Millennium Trainee Philosophy, believes body composition is 90 Percent dieting, 10 Percent lifting. This philosophy has no long-term foundation for sustainability. Who would go to the gym with the intention of only putting in 10 percent effort level?
What does 10 percent effort look like? Effort is 60/90 percent of Heart Rate Max, well beyond 10 percent. The objective of successful training is to train until your exercise form is lost or your muscles fail or until you cannot complete another set.
Westfit will sculpt your physique with Hypertrophic Muscle without the aids of supplements. No Protein supplementation. Structured Resistance Training and a balanced diet will fuel the activity. This will sustain a lean healthy physique. If you stop lifting the residuals remains on your physique for years. It takes twice as long to lose positive adaptations as it takes to acquire it. Stamina however, is sustained day to day. Westfit Personal Training advises their client’s in the method used to decide how much weight they need in a set. It is based on number of reps. For Muscle conditioning 15 reps max. Extreme Muscle Hypertrophy 8-10 reps max. This formula produces the most aesthetic lean muscle. Aside from selecting the correct load volume, you will need to learn how to apply the correct techniques in order to sculpt muscle fibres. Lifting Heavy in it’s true definition, six reps or less recruits many muscle fibres which builds bulbus featureless muscles.
If you want to build Muscle Strength, progressive overload will produce the same results one rep at a time. Duration builds strength. Load carrying capacity is dependent on strength in rep capacity.
Westfit utilizes in-house Progressive Training Programs that splits the training into 3 modules. They allow for 24hr resting periods between sessions. The repeat cycles in one training module is 7 sessions before an exercise repeats. No individual body is uniquely balanced in strength. Westfit trains their clients in Unilateral and Bilateral training methods for strength balance.
