Training principles in weight training

The above mentioned training principles also apply to weight training. However, here some ready-made principles and training plans can be helpful to follow the principles. In order to achieve an effective training stimulus, the weights should not be increased directly at the beginning, but the number of repetitions should first be increased (from 8 to 12), then another set (initially 3 then 4 sets) can be added.

Only if this change does not bring any more progress, the weight should be increased so that again only 8 repetitions in 3 sets are possible. The individual adaptation of the training is also very important in weight training. The weights should be adjusted to the user.

In order to follow the principle of variation, different exercises can be performed for certain muscle groups. Changing a piece of training equipment can give the training a boost again. Different forms of training can be used as alternating load.

Examples are HIIT, superset or circuit training. The choice of the right sequence of loads plays a greater role in strength training, especially if different forms of strength are to be trained. Technique/coordination and maximum strength training should always take place immediately after the warm-up to avoid injuries, strength endurance follows afterwards.

Also in weight training the body should be given sufficient time to regenerate. For this purpose, Split Plan, for example, is a good idea. 1-2 times a week, a certain muscle group should be trained intensively, on the following days this group can recover and another muscle group is trained, so that a sufficient break between the strains is guaranteed.
