Training For Strength

The variables above for fat loss and muscle gain do not change much when training for strength. After all, any program that is setup correctly SHOULD induce strength gains.

However, training purely for strength (outside of a focus on aesthetics) can and will require specific programming as one advances. Strength and size are not always corollary with one another, at least once you surface from the beginner stages of training (check out my JCDFitness Beginner Workout Routine).

Strength-focused routines can and probably should be cyclical, such as the conjugate method and various other protocols not discussed in this article (we’re focused mostly on aesthetics here, after all). And even though I’ve pulled 535 pounds, I still don’t care to focus on strength as the be-all, end-all.

If raw strength training is your cup of tea, I recommend checking out Syatt Fitness and Dave Dellanave.

Now that we’ve laid most of the groundwork, let’s cover some training split explanations so you can understand how they work with varying schedules.....
