Strength Training: The Benefits of Being Stronger

So, you’re thinking about an online strength coach.

Every year, millions of people make a commitment to pursue a new fitness regimen.

Some people are interested in weight loss.

Some people are more interested in flexibility.

But for some people, strength is the goal.

Within that category, there are many possible things you may want to get out of the experience. Maybe strength is your true objective, and you’re only interested in being able to lift more weight. Maybe you’re interested in building muscle and becoming more massive. Or maybe you just like the idea of challenging yourself and gradually getting better.

Whatever the case, there are many good reasons to get involved in strength coaching because there are many benefits.

With me as your head coach, and with enough time and commitment on your side, you can see the following benefits and more:

Strength Training: The Benefits

Power and ability

First and foremost, strength training has the power to increase your raw strength and improve your abilities. Over time, as you sculpt your muscles, you’ll find yourself being able to lift heavier and heavier weights. This can help you in a variety of practical circumstances; for example, if you ever have to move, you’ll be perfectly capable of lifting and maneuvering even your heaviest furniture. You’ll find it easier to lift your children, or even your spouse, when playing and bonding. And if you’re interested in a physically demanding career, your strength can be a major asset. Plus, if you combine strength training with a bit of martial arts or self-defense practice, you’ll stand a much better chance of defending yourself in a confrontational situation.

Image and attractiveness

There’s no denying it. Investing in strength training can also improve your image and your attractiveness to the opposite sex. Building muscle is a way of sculpting your body to look more shapely and more powerful; that’s one reason why muscular people tend to have an easier time attracting mates. Lifting weight and practicing resistance training will also help you burn calories, burn fat and keep you trim in the process.

Confidence and self-esteem

Bigger muscles and lower fat aren’t the only reasons you’re going to be more attractive, however. You’ll also benefit from the massive confidence boost that comes with strength training. Often, when people start lifting heavier weights and looking more fit when they see themselves in the mirror, they feel a significant transformation in their confidence and self-esteem. Obviously, attractiveness isn’t the only benefit that comes with higher confidence. You’ll also experience less anxiety, you’ll become a better negotiator, you’ll become more likable in a variety of social contexts, and you’ll rest easy feeling good about yourself.

Discipline and focus

If you want to get stronger, you have to be both disciplined and focused. Unfortunately, the majority of the population finds it difficult to focus and even more difficult to stay disciplined. Strength training is excellent practice to condition your discipline and focus to reach their peak. Once you get used to pushing yourself further and working hard to reach your goals, you’ll be able to apply this new discipline and focus to a variety of other areas in your life. For example, you may be more focused and disciplined in your career or in hobbies that are important to you.

Stress relief

For seasoned weightlifters, exercise is a way to relieve stress. After a long, hard day at the office, or early in the morning when you’re feeling sluggish and overwhelmed, lifting weight is a great way to set your troubles aside, become distracted for a little bit, and move past the cloud of stress that is interfering with your daily life.

Bonding and social benefits

Depending on how and where you work out, strength training could provide you benefits with bonding and socialization. Whether you choose me or a different coach, your strength training coach will become an integral part of your routine. If you strength train with other people, such as your family members or other people at the gym, you can form new connections or deepen your existing ones.

Long-term health

Don’t forget that strength training is an important type of exercise that can provide you with a variety of long-term health benefits. People who lift weight and build muscle tend to be less susceptible to a host of different health conditions, such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. You’ll also improve your bone and muscular health, which is going to be especially important as you age.

Reduced pain

For some people, weightlifting is about reducing pain or reducing your susceptibility to chronic pain. Having a stronger, more muscular back, for example, could lower your risk of experiencing back pain both now and in the future.

These are just some of the incredible benefits you’ll get by pursuing a new strength training regimen.

Barbells vs. Dumbbells vs. Machine Workouts: Which is better?

When you picture someone’s strength or power training, what is it that you see in your mind’s eye?

Do you see someone deadlifting a 400-pound barbell?

Do you see someone bicep curling with a dumbbell?

Do you see someone pulling a resistance band that’s wedged in a door frame?

What about someone rowing on the machine?

The truth is, all of these things are accurate representations of strength trainings, or resistance training.

As long as you’re practicing proper form, you can use a wide variety of different types of equipment to exercise. In fact, there are many benefits of using different types of equipment and different exercises as part of your overall regimen.

Not only will this make your routine fresher and more interesting, allowing you to stay motivated for longer, but it will also work out different muscle groups in your body and help you gain strength faster.

That said, there are some advantages and disadvantages to each type of equipment you consider.

No matter what, your main goal is going to be engaging in tough resistance exercises. Your goal is to challenge yourself with high-intensity exercises and a low number of repetitions, focusing on major muscle groups in your body.

Barbells can be advantageous because they allow you to lift more weight at once. They’re also a kind of free weight, meaning you’ll have to engage your stabilizer muscles in order to lift them. If you’re planning on setting new weightlifting records, or if you want to be a serious bodybuilder, barbells are a practical must.

Dumbbells offer some of the same advantages as barbells. However, they tend to be smaller and more portable. You won’t lift as much weight with a set of dumbbells as you can with a barbell, but you’ll also engage more of your stabilizer muscles in the process.

Machines can also be valuable, especially for newcomers. Machines have a fixed range of movement, which can be a disadvantage if you’re trying to fully develop your complex muscle groups; but this also means it’s extremely difficult to deviate from proper form, so long as you’re using the machine properly.

As for resistance bands, the main disadvantage is that they don’t offer as much resistance or weight as the other options. However, they remain excellent options for people who are just starting out with strength coaching and people in physical therapy.

There’s one more important secret that you need to know in this area.

The exact way you work out doesn’t really matter that much.

What’s important is that you work out consistently, and in ways that allow you to achieve your goals.

Motivation to Get Your Beachbody

One of the biggest challenges that people face when trying to build strength and muscle is staying motivated.

This is completely understandable.

Human beings are naturally predisposed to be, for lack of a better word, lazy.

For much of our evolutionary history, food calories were hard to come by. That meant that we had to expend as little energy as possible and conserve what little energy we could consume.

That’s a fancy way of saying we all like to sit on the couch instead of getting up and moving around.

We are also creatures of habit, so it’s incredibly difficult to start new routines from the ground up.

Accordingly, if you’re going to be successful while strength online coaching, you need to have ample motivation.

There’s a lot you can do on your own with this.

Some people like to stay motivated by having an inspiration board, or something similar, where they can look at people who have been successful with personal fitness and admire their results. This can serve as fantastic motivation on days when you don’t really feel like going to the gym.

Some people motivate themselves by rewarding themselves for good behavior. For example, if you work out every day for a week, you might treat yourself to a small indulgence on the weekend.

Others motivate themselves in social ways, going to the gym with friends or family members to make sure they always have a reason to go or sharing their goals online so their social contacts can help them stay accountable to those goals.

I may be biased, but I truly feel like one of the best ways to stay motivated is to hire a personal trainer like me.

Your strength coach will work with you to put together a strength online coaching regimen that you actually like and that actually excites you, so you’re much more motivated to go through your exercises.

Your personal trainer will coach you and inspire you to test your limits.

Your personal trainer will compliment, reassure, and support you when you set a new personal record or when you accomplish something extraordinary.

Your personal trainer will also be there on your toughest days, helping you overcome the little voice in your head that tells you that you should skip your workout.

Staying Safe While Working Out For the Best Results

On the topic of strength training, most people focus on lifting as much as possible, and doing that as frequently as possible.

This is certainly an important consideration, but it’s also important to stay safe.

In fact, safety should be your highest priority. You may push yourself to set a new personal best while squatting or bench pressing, but if you don’t do it with safety in mind, you could end up permanently injuring yourself and compromising your ability to lift in the future.

There are two people you need to listen to before, during, and after strength training:

Your doctor

Always talk with your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen. You’ve likely heard this a thousand times, but that doesn’t make it any less important. Your doctor will be able to help you determine if it is safe for you to work out, and what types of exercises are best for you.

Your instructor

Most people benefit by hiring an instructor or personal trainer as well. Your personal trainer will work with you to make sure you’re doing the right exercises in the right way, with the right form and the right equipment. After some initial education and training, you may be in a position to safely monitor your own workouts, but this initial instruction is indispensable.

Beyond that, you’ll need to consider safety in a variety of contexts, including:

Equipment

What equipment are you using and how are you using it? The heavier the weight you’re lifting, the more you’re going to need to think about safety; it’s hard to hurt yourself while using an entry-level resistance band, but it’s quite easy to hurt yourself if you’re lifting a 300-pound barbell.

Form

One of the most important ways to stay safe while exercising is utilizing the proper form. Exercises must be completed in a specific way, with a specific posture. Otherwise, you run the risk of straining a vulnerable area. For example, if you deadlift improperly, you could end up excessively straining your back, resulting in a serious injury that could have lifelong consequences. It’s much better to adhere to proper form than to try to cheat your way to a higher level of weight.

The intensity Factors

If you want to build strength, you have to push yourself. It’s a prerequisite. That means lifting more weight than you lifted last session or squeezing out an extra repetition or two at the end of your set. However, pushing the intensity too much or too quickly can also be dangerous. It’s important to know your own limitations and push them without straining yourself too much.

Knowledge

The more knowledge you have on proper form, proper exercises, and the most common injuries sustained by weight lifters, the better you can guard yourself and reduce your risk of injury. This is why it’s so important to work with a personal trainer and do your own research, so you can boost your knowledge in multiple ways simultaneously.

Warmups and Cooldowns

Warmups and cool downs are essential for making sure your body is acclimated to its next activity. Warming up is a way of preparing your muscles for a harder workout to come, and ensuring that they’re prepared for the resistance they’re about to meet. Otherwise, if you work out cold, you could end up seriously hurting yourself.

I am very happy with my progress with Nathan’s program.
