How to Power Train at the Gym

Power training increases the strength of fast twitch muscle fibers and the contribution of the central nervous system to enable your body to perform faster and more efficiently. By performing exercises repetitively in a efficient manner with increased weight, you can train the muscles of your body to do more work in less time. Using the dumbbells, barbells and cable machines available in most gyms, you can train your body to operate at optimal performance.

Instructions

1

Design a work-out plan that focuses on the areas of your body you wish to power train. The muscles of the body are divided into sections. Major muscle groups include your chest, back and legs. Minor muscle groups include your arms, shoulders and abdominal muscles. A list of the proper exercises for each muscle group is available online.

2

Set up all of the exercises you wish to complete with the proper weight before you begin your routine.

3

Perform the exercises two to three times consecutively, resting 2 minutes between each set, completing no more than four to five sets of each exercise per workout.
