Training is a potent anabolic stimulus, which ultimately dictates muscle hypertrophy and strength gains achieved. In order to optimize your results make sure you include the following into your training protocol.
Range of motion refers to the act of moving as far anatomically as possible during a given exercise. If you were to squat, full range of motion would be starting at a standing position and squatting til your hip crease is lower than your knees and coming back up to a full extension or standing position. In other words, when exercising complete the full movement in order to get the best results, with proper technique of course.
A well-rounded program needs to stagger rest periods and intensities to optimize the training stimulus. A program should be cycled or periodized, which can be accomplished by using a linear or non-linear program. Research has shown that non-linear periodization provides the best stimulus and gains in muscle hypertrophy and strength.
The more muscle groups you train, the greater the overall stimulus. In any program you follow, be sure that it includes a variety of exercises that hit a variety of muscles. Not only will a variety help keep you from becoming bored with your training but it will also help ensure that you don't plateau.
