With arrival of spring many people remember the figure. Preparing for summer, they are afraid not to manage to come to the form and begin to force events. Special attention, as a rule, is paid to the press in dreams of the beautiful flat tummy or strong massive cubes.
The most widespread myths about the press
That there were cubes, the press needs to be swung for days on end is the lie. The form of the press is put at each person from the birth. Special exercises are only capable to increase thickness of muscles therefore there is no sense to do them too often. Extension of muscles comes not only thanks to exercise stresses, but also thanks to rest from them. Professional athletes quite seldom study the press not to "expand" the waist and not to break ideal athletic proportions.
The more repetitions, the press is more - actually the press what doesn't differ from other muscles in therefore intensive trainings with the large number of repetitions will increase endurance of the press, but won't increase its muscular thickness.
Frequent repetitions influence "drying" of the press - in reality fat isn't burned by means of power exercises. Only keeping to the special diet in combination with trainings, it is possible to achieve relief.
How often it is necessary to swing the press
In practice it is proved for a long time that it is absolutely senseless to swing the press every day. You don't gain any additional effect at such frequent trainings. It won't help you to reduce waist measurement or to lose excess weight. Your muscles will just be in the constant tone, but it won't influence emergence of cubes.
If you want "to trace" the press, train no more than 3-4 times a week. If fat content percent in your organism higher than 10, combine trainings with the diet.
If your purpose are not massive cubes, but development of endurance, then daily trainings for you will be quite expedient. So athletes who are engaged in martial arts train. Their press is condensed, but in volume increases not strongly.
Some bodybuilders don't agree to swing the press several times a week too. For example, Jay Katler considers that it is necessary to train the press every day. He is sure that only daily trainings support his body in the tone.
There is the opinion that to muscles of the stomach 24 hours on restoration are enough therefore the press it is possible and it is necessary to swing 7 days a week. And if nothing hurts, means it is possible to train again. But the absence of pain in muscles doesn't say that they managed to be restored completely. Some muscles need 72 hours for restoration, and to the press – at least 48 hours. Thus, for emergence of endurance of muscles of the stomach it is necessary to train daily, but it won't lead to noticeable cubes. To create relief, it is necessary to swing the press no more than 4 times a week, but without the corresponding diet and such option doesn't approach. If you have the fat layer, then even the most massive cubes will be behind it. The ideal way to pump up the press is to show patience, to eat properly and to be engaged several times a week.
