WHY YOU SHOULD TRAIN VARIOUSLY

417 words | 1 min 31 sec read

A recent training session

A well designed training programme is one that targets a variety of different physical qualities.

Imagine if you only trained like a bodybuilderā€¦

Youā€™d have a well sculpted physique.

But you wouldnā€™t have a lot of relative strength (strong for your bodyweight).

You wouldnā€™t be very fit (aerobic capacity)

You wouldnā€™t be quick and powerful for your sport..

Training this way would lead you to spend most of your training career chasing your tail.

Let me explainā€¦

General Physical Preparation (GPP)

GPP is a term to describe the development of a number foundational qualities of strength, power, speed, aerobic endurance.

At the same time.

This approach to training isnā€™t hyper-specific to any particular sport.

But it will get you fitter, stronger and more powerful across a training cycle.

You want the most bang for your buck, right?

So you would want a training programme that would get you stronger, build you muscle and develop your aerobic fitnessā€¦

All whilst having fun?!

Iā€™ve got just the answerā€¦

The Coaching Team at Organic Strength have developed three programmesā€¦

Designed specifically for you and your goals:

Sculpt šŸ’Ŗ, Shape šŸ”„ & Perform šŸƒ

Built by Everyday Athletes for Everyday Athletes šŸ¤

TRAINING TAKEAWAYS

From my own training experience, solely focusing on getting stronger, or getting bigger, or losing fat is a recipe for poor results.

As an everyday athlete you donā€™t need to be hyper specialised in strength or look like Arnold.

I would recommend training to improve all aspects of health and performance.

ā€œI am trying to gain muscle but I am not seeing the results I want, what do you think I am doing wrong?ā€

Building muscle is a slow process. I learned this the hard way.

Make sure you are training each body part frequently enough each week.

But, hitting your calorie surplus target and protein target each day is one of the biggest drivers of muscle hypertrophy.

So if you can do this whilst following a programme you enjoy, youā€™ll get there.
