Strength Improvement Tips For A Close Protection Operative

Of course it goes without saying that strength is only one part of the necessary physical attributes that a security operative should be aiming to enhance, the other being stamina and both should be given equal priority in your training regime.

If you are just starting out in strength training, then you may find all the information available to you to be bewildering, confusing and sometimes downright contradictory.It is not unusual to have one so called expert state that high reps with multiple sets with a light weight is the be all and end all of weight training and that nothing else will do, whereas you will find someone putting across a counter point that has them stating that low reps and sets with a heavy weight is the only way to go.

You may ask yourself the reason for this type of discrepancy and to be honest the only answer I can give is that people need to sell books and magazines and for them to do that they need to keep the information they publish fresh and new.After all, would you buy different magazines and books that all say the same thing?

The honest truth of the matter when it comes to strength training is that no one person can say with absolute certainty that the techniques and routines that worked for them will also produce the same results in you.

What you have to understand is that because we are all unique is why a single routine cannot apply to all those looking to gain strength and size.

As an example, I know that when I train using maximum weight single reps it will build up my strength without increasing my overall size, whereas I am aware of someone else who has used the same method and the same exercise who was able to grow thighs like tree trunks.

I have listed below the closest I have to anything resembling absolutes when it comes to strength training.

Correctly performed compound exercises such as the deadlift and squat are fantastic for building strength and size quickly.

It is imperative that you take adequate rest between workouts to allow for growth and recovery.

To help progression and strength gains, only add a small amount of weight to your maximum lift each workout.

A notebook containing your workout information is an excellent tool for analysing was does and does not work for you.

A single and only way for everyone to train just does not exist.

Proper exercise technique and discipline are necessary to prevent injuries.

Do not be short sighted and limit your training to just hitting the local gym.If you limit yourself to only training at the gym then you will be missing out on plenty of opportunities to have a quality workout.

Admittedly these workouts will not include free weights or machines but the effort put in can be just as intense.

Whether you are at a hotel room or at home you can indulge in a bodyweight only routine that can include one legged squats, chins, one armed press up and many more, guaranteeing you will have a top quality workout.

Do yourself a favour if you do not believe me and try and source some articles about training written by authors who have been incarcerated at some point in their lives.

To reiterate the most important point in this article, no one universal routine can claim to be the panacea that cures all.

What you must do is take the time to experiment with different routines, different sets and reps, different rest periods between work outs and find out what personally works for you and use it to its fullest advantage.
