Cycle Weight Training Program
(c) 1993 Ronald N. Grout
R & G Software
The cycle weight training program was developed to help
solve the problem of overtraining by lifters who want to
develop muscle tone or body sculpt. It is designed
specifically for weight programs in colleges, schools, and
fitness centers. Individuals can also develop a personal
program by using the Cycle Weight Training Program.
If a lifter is constantly working at full intensity,
there is not enough time for the body to recover and the
lifter becomes susceptible to injury, lifting plateaus and
stress. In many cases, lifters will reach a plateau and
attempt to compensate by working harder. The body simply is
not able to cope with this and the lifter risks injury.
With cycle weight training, the lifter should be able to
avoid the problem of hitting a training plateau.
The idea of cycle weight training has been used for
many years by competitive weight lifters and college
training programs. The lifter should only cycle major
muscle groups and for this reason, the program allows only 6
Cycle lifts. Many users do their cycle lifts three days a
week and then reserve two to three days a week for ancillary
lifting and exercises.
