EXERCISE TIP:

It is important for novice lifters to build up strength endurance. Especially in the core. All force begins at the core and it is the foundation of the body. The best way to do this is spend about 15-30 minutes on the core before each workout. Advanced lifters can always return to this phase of training to give their bodies a "break" from the normal stressful routine and find a new way to stimulate new muscle growth.

To build strength endurance it is recommended to use light weight and perform about 15-20 reps. You will lift quickly on the concentric move and slowly on the eccentric. Example: while performing bicep curls, the concentric is the upward movement and eccentric is the downward. NOTE: it is very important to spend more time under tension in the eccentric part of the exercise in order to build up strength endurance! Knowledge is power, safe lifting folks!
