Why is it good to add strength training to your workout?

Answer 1

When you do exercise and weight training, you can lose or gain weight depending on your calorie intake.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate is an estimate of how many calories your body needs to maintain its current weight. It represents the amount of calories per day your body burns, regardless of exercise

These are the formulas for calculating BMR:

Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )

Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )

To determine one's calories needs, you must multiply the BMR value by either 1.2, 1.375, 1.55, 1.725, or 1.9 depending on your level of physical activity. (1.2 for none, 1.9 for very high)

If your calorie intake is greater than this value, you will gain weight, if it is lower, you will lose weight.

Answer 2

If you are serious about getting stronger, train more like power lifters than bodybuilders do. Make it your goal to do a lot better in the three power lifts (namely, squat, bench press, and deadlift).

The key is to rotate exercises and training methods. If you just use one simple method to get stronger, your progress will eventually stall. Then what?

You should use not just squats, bench presses, and deadlifts, but many of their variations such as box squats and floor presses. Furthermore, do not just use standard barbells; teach yourself how to use chains and bands that are hooked to barbells. Learn how to use unusual equipment such as reverse hyper machines and weighted sleds.

If you engage your mind in your training as well as your body, your training will become more interesting and fun. Read books and articles and watch DVD's by innovators like Louie Simmons. Test what you learn to see if it works well for you.

If you follow the above tips, you will be much stronger in just six months or a year than you are today.

Answer 3

The first reason is that weight training builds muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. People with a higher metabolism tend to have less body fat, therefore adding weight training to your exercise program will help reach/maintain a healthy weight.

Some other reasons are that weight training helps to improve bone health, increase flexibility and balance, and eliminate stress.

Answer 4

To gain muscle mass, free weight training with the appropriate nutrition (balance diet) and supplements (protein drinks, glutamine, etc) is a necessity.
