The Specific Mass for PowerLifting
(SMFP) program is designed both for powerlifters
and off season bodybuilders that are training
to add extra body weight in the form of muscle
mass, in order to compete in a heavier body weight
class, while also emphasizing the production of
power. Weight training athletes other than powerlifters
and bodybuilders may order this program, however,
as already stated; this programs main emphasis
is on the production of muscle mass gains to enhance
your gains in power. The Specific Mass for PowerLifting
program is an advanced weight training program
that is recommended for the weight training athlete
that has either completed any 2 of our beginner
or intermediate programs, or that has been weight
training consistently for at least two years.
The Specific Mass for PowerLifting
program is distinctly different from all of the
other training programs offered by Questformuscle.com,
because it is powerlifting oriented. In that this
program is powerlifting oriented, the training
is more regimented and controlled, so as to allow
your body to peak at the proper point in your
training cycle.
How does
the Specific Mass for PowerLifting program do
this?
The Specific Mass for PowerLifting
program does this by providing you with not only
the exact weights to warm up with, and perform
your key work sets with, it also provides you
with the exact number of repetitions to perform
for each of these sets.
Training in this way will make
sure that you are performing just the right amount
of work at the proper percentages, and proper
levels of intensity, so as to allow you to progress
form week to week in your training cycle, until
your final climax in training during your peaking
week.
So how
does the Specific Mass for PowerLifting program
work?
The Specific Mass for PowerLifting
program works by emphasizing the development of
a certain type of muscle fiber within your muscles(*),
while also concentrating your efforts on the 3
main components of a successful powerlifting program(**).
(*)Muscles, muscle fibers,
and you!
Your muscles contain both fast
twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. Slow twitch
muscle fibers are mainly responsible for the development
of endurance, and stamina, while fast twitch muscle
fibers are responsible for strength, and power
increases. Both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle
fibers produce the same amount of force per contraction,
however, fast twitch muscle fibers contract at
a higher rate (producing more force rapidly).
The Specific Mass for PowerLifting program trains
your muscle fibers into becoming more fast twitch
based, thereby providing you with a rapid increase
in power.
(**)The
3 main components of a successful powerlifting
program
1-The proper training load
2-Repetition tempo/speed
3-Interval training (specifically for power)
The proper training load:
When training for power, the proper
training load is crucial. It is important that
the training load not be too heavy or too light,
so that you do not over or under train. As well,
when training for power, it is important to cycle
your training, and build up your training loads
each week over an extended period of time, until
your max out week or the last week in your training
cycle.
Building up your training loads
on a week to week basis will allow you to make
steady and consistent gains in strength, while
also allowing your body the necessary time to
adapt to your training, so as to peak at the end
of your training cycle. It is during this peaking
time at the very end of your program/training
cycle, that you will be the most conditioned and
also at your strongest, in order to make those
big gains in strength. However, it is important
to realize that this peak is built up to over
the course of your training cycle, by consistently
performing each of your daily workouts, each week,
with the proper training loads provided.
Repetition tempo/speed:
The repetition tempo/speed is
how fast or how slow you will perform a repetition
in a set. The repetition tempo/speed is of importance,
because different repetition tempos/speeds train
your muscles for different specific aspects of
weight training. While one specific repetition
tempo/speed will develop power, another will develop
strength and muscle mass, while yet another will
develop endurance and overall conditioning. The
Specific Mass for PowerLifting program places
a special emphasis on the repetition tempo/speed
that is responsible for the development of maximum
power output, and muscle mass gains.
Interval
training (power specific):
Interval training is a very advanced
training technique that when properly applied
to your training will yield results that would
normally take 4 to 5 times as long to achieve.
The reason that interval training is so productive
is because it is very precise and extremely intense.
Interval training works by establishing
specific parameters for the rest periods between
sets for certain exercises. The Specific Mass
for Power Lifting program incorporates interval
training on the power lifters key exercises, the
bench press, squat, and dead lift. It should be
noted however, that even if you do not perform
one of these three exercises, that the Specific
Mass for PowerLifting program will still produce
tremendous results for you.
Interval training for power is
very specific, and requires longer rest periods
between sets, so as to allow your muscles the
necessary amount of time to recover as much as
possible. By taking longer rest periods between
sets, you will have more energy to lift, which
will result in more power and strength gains.
However, the trick is to not rest so long that
your muscles get cold, resulting in diminishing
strength gains, and the increased possibility
of sustaining an injury. The Specific Mass for
PowerLifting program will provide you with the
proper parameters to incorporate interval training
for the development of power into your workouts.
The more power and strength that you develop,
the heavier the loads that you will be able to
train with; and the heavier the loads that you
will train with, the greater the amount of muscle
mass that you will carry.
More on
the Specific Mass for PowerLifting program
Specific Mass for PowerLifting
can best be utilized by the power lifter that
wants to prepare for a powerlifting meet, or that
needs to plan his training in such a way that
he maxes out, or peaks at the proper time. As
well, the Specific Mass for PowerLifting program
(9 weeks) works best when it is followed by the
Power Peaking program (6 weeks). When used in
this order over a 15 week period, the athlete
will elevate their strength and muscle mass to
levels never before imagined. Gains of between
50 and 100 pounds on each of the following exercises,
the bench press, squat, and deadlift are common,
when both programs are completed back to back.
