In modern body building practice, determining the suitable workout frequency for a bodybuilder involves identifying the ideal super-compensation curve. Success in body building occurs only after properly and persistently riding pre-determined streaks of waves which allows consistent ability of the bodybuilder to re-train in a progressive program. This requires a proper pre-determined curve based on proved theories. It involves a proven super-compensation strategy, as found during multiple research studies done on champion bodybuilders from all over the world.
The first stage in the curve is referred to as the stimulus and fatigue stage. This stage features those body builders who during one time or another of their training program, attend a gym session and train hard and yet gain nothing in return. The failure to accumulate muscle build-ups resultant from the workouts only creates a catalectic stimulus effect which is closely followed by a distinct fatigue effect.
During this stage, most body builders temporarily drops their performance ability such that even if they re-train them in a similar exercise soon after the initial setback, the body builder only feels sluggish and with very low motivation. The fact is that even the muscle itself has not yet recovered utilized energy levels, let alone been able to repair and develop the fibers to become any stronger after the initial training. It is at this stage that most would-be body builders drop off and leave those persistent enough to withstand the preliminary setback.
The second stage is called the compensation stage and constitutes the point at which the body builder’s body begins a process of tissue repair, development or at least a gradual return to the normal homeostasis default prior to the initial training. Lifting heavy weights in intense and hard daily workouts while not allowing enough periods of rest is counter productive at this stage and can cause a body builder to be stuck indefinitely at this second stage. This is because lack of rest does not allow, muscle cell repair and development and thus no progress body building.
The third stage of the curve is naturally where the body building magic takes place. The stage is commonly referred to as the overcompensation stage. A body builder’s system overcompensates all over a sudden. This allows the accumulation of energy reserves coupled by amplified performance ability during workouts. The objective of most professional bodybuilders is to hit highest possible peak of super-compensation at this stage prior to re-training.
The fourth and final stage of the curve is called involution which cycles back to the process of homeostasis. The ultimate objective of all training bodybuilders is to maintain compensation and thus avoid the maturation of this stage. That rarely happens because bodybuilders will always experience low moments. In periods of low motivation, bodybuilders give themselves too long a time off and end up neglecting the stimulation of the system again so as to retain gains already accumulated. The net effect is a return to homeostasis where de-training commences.
