The trainer gave advice on building muscle mass

Physiotherapist and trainer Victoria Szekely gave advice on building muscle mass. Her words are quoted by Forbes Health.

Székely recommended making a weight training plan. The expert stressed that to begin with, you should determine the maximum weight that you can correctly and safely lift at one time. At first, it is necessary to perform exercises only with this weight, and then gradually increase the weight and the number of repetitions.

The specialist noted that in order to build muscle mass, it is necessary to focus on a specific muscle or muscle group. For example, if the goal is to increase the size of the biceps, then you need to pay attention to exercises that directly load this muscle, for example, bending the arms in the elbows with a fitness band.

The coach also noted the importance of proper breathing during exercise, because it can protect against injury. In addition, Szekely advised eating more protein, sleeping seven to eight hours a night, and approaching the whole process taking into account individual characteristics.

Earlier, fitness trainer Maxim Babenko-Kudryavtsev named the three main mistakes of people involved in the gym. “The first is forcing the training process and the race for results. This usually leads to injury. The second is the desire to perform complex exercises without a coach and possession of technique. The third mistake I will call malnutrition. The achievement of the set goals depends too much on him, ”he said.
