Triphase Muscle Training for Maximal Growth

Perform 3 to 5 complete sets per exercise for large and small muscle groups. The chest, back, and thighs are large muscle groups.

The thighs comprise both the quadriceps and the hamstrings. You can train both together, and we’ll be thinking about them as one of the major muscle groups.

Small muscle groups are the shoulders, biceps, triceps, abs, calves, and forearms. In the tri-phase muscle training program, mix things up a little.

Train two muscle groups together every day. For instance, the chest and shoulders; the back and traps; the arms and calves; and the legs.

Perform each exercise with 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

The reality of the sets and repetitions count is that, as long as you are performing hypertrophy with 100% intensity, take all the sets to actual concentric failure.

In Phase 1, there is an increase in sets each week while repetitions remain the same. For three straight weeks, there should be no change in the maximal weight load.

Rest between sets for 2 minutes. The workout duration is 1 hour, including 15 minutes of warm-up. Here are 10 weeks of tri-phase muscle training for maximal growth.

  • Bent-Over Row 5 Sets 10 Repetitions.

The Intensity Phase

The intensity phase, also known as the HIIT (high-intensity interval training), can reduce the training time period by 50%. HIIT reduces exercise time, but the results are the same as with endurance exercises.

Overall, for maximum muscle growth, the muscles should be subjected to pressure. Intensity determines how much energy you burn while working out.

That force affects what fuel the body uses and what sort of adjustments the body makes after a workout.

The intensity phase is the measure of physical power that the body uses when carrying out an activity. You should train for as high a level of force as you can.

The point here isn’t that you go to the gym and destroy your body, so you can’t get up the next morning. The possibility of 100% workout intensity means that you should take it to the point of concentric muscular failure in the limited time frame.

In phase 2, train multiple muscle groups on the same day. For example, the upper body and lower body increase weight by 20 pounds each week and decrease repetitions by 2 reps.

Rest between sets for 1 minute. The workout duration is 45 minutes, including 15 minutes of warm-up.

The Frequency Phase

Train each muscle group three times every week. Training every individual muscle every day is ideal. Train your muscles every day for three consecutive weeks.

As long as you train as hard as you can, take all sets to muscular failure. When you go to the gym, remember that it is the only chance you have to build your body for that entire week.

If you do not care to accomplish an intense workout, wait until next week.

In phase 3, perform 2 sets of 10 repetitions with the maximal weight load for each muscle group. Rest between sets for 2 minutes.

The workout duration is 75 minutes, including 15 minutes of warm-up.

Take Week 10 Off The Gym

Seven days off from training after 10 straight weeks of tri-phase muscle training is an important piece of the recovery procedure.

It will keep you safe from getting injured. The extreme workout puts a lot of stress on your body. The one-week training break will work well for you in various ways.

Will Give Your Joints Rest

There are many ways to keep yourself from getting injured. Taking one week’s rest every 10 weeks is one of the main approaches.

High-intensity workouts stress not only your muscles, joints, and connective tissues, but your entire body. After that extreme exercise for 10 straight weeks, your body will beg for a brief rest.

Conclusion

Always monitor what you eat.

Proper nutrition and supplements dictate 80% of muscle-building success.

Tri-phase muscle training has a firm vision.

Therefore, keeping a composed record of your muscle building will help you.
