Adaptive response to imposed stress upon them.

Seeing we are only using one word here ; Overload

[ninja3.7]

I posted a poll too

[FireGuy]

Your poll choices are poorly conceived. There is way too much overlap in the answers. The first 5 alone could all be catagorized as the same thing.

Progressive Tension Overload + a calorie surplus

[ninja3.7]

why is that?

one could lift very heavy with a poor technique or never feel the burn because of low reps, isn't it?

[paulzane]

Rest after overload!

This makes no sence

Because one could LIFT HEAVY, while CONCENTRATING ON MUSCLE CONTRACTION, while using PROPER TECHNIQUE, which will cause MUSCLES TO BURN and well as DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS.

with what kind of training do you achieve that? sorry if it's a stupid question

[FireGuy]

What kind of training? Weight training. You should be incorporating every one of those principles everytime you go to the gym. Are you under the impression you can only apply one of those choices when you work out?

[ninja3.7]

not only one factor happen when I work out, but sometimes not all of them happen or are felt (i.e. since I am a newbie sometimes I try to lift heavier than I should and my tecnique deteriorates, or I don't concentrate enough to feel a good contraction)

so I suppose they are ALL important for gaining muscle?

[MR-FQ320]

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ yes

[MR-FQ320]

if you are new i reccomend concentrating on technique first the rest will come with time, well apart from DOMS which is just a sympton of training, which your gonna have to get used to.

This thread is stupid in so many ways, it doesnt make sense

[FireGuy]

^^Agreed, I came very close to self ejecting a couple posts ago but must be more patient than usual today.

[t-gunz]
