7 reasons Why You Should lift HEAVY

Описание: Lifting heavier weights will help you build muscle, get stronger, and burn more fat, yet most people don't even understand what it means to lift heavy and why you should be doing it. In fact, the concept of lifting heavy weights is something that most regular day-to-day gym goers confuse as only benefiting powerlifters and maybe bodybuilders. But the truth is, whether you're a beginner, an intermediate lifter, or an advanced athlete, lifting heavy is one of the most essential aspects of building strength, muscle mass, and improving overall fitness. So if you're one of the many people that avoid lifting heavy due to several reasons like being fearful of an injury, or not knowing how to progress, or simply believing that lighter weights are safer or more effective this video will definitely help change your mind. It'll provide actionable steps you can take right away.
So the first reason why you should be lifting heavy is because it will help you build strength faster.

At its core, lifting heavy weights is a direct way to build maximal strength and power. It's pretty straightforward to understand if you look at strength for what it is, a skill, and to get better at any skill, you need to practice it under increasingly challenging conditions. Lifting heavily forces your muscles to recruit more muscle motor units, which leads to better neuromuscular adaptations. When you lift heavier loads, you stimulate type II muscle fibers, which are responsible for producing high levels of force and power. These fibers grow and strengthen more significantly when exposed to heavy resistance versus light resistance which will stimulate more type 1 muscle fibers. Type 2 muscle fibers are more connected to strength, size, and explosiveness as opposed to type 1 muscle fibers that are more connected to having sustained endurance, and fatigue resistance. When you lift heavy weights, your central nervous system will also become more efficient at recruiting muscle fibers, especially the high-threshold motor units that are activated during heavy lifting.
