So you want to gain big muscles and look great? Then do it right.

Most persons involved in weight training usually repeat their moves to failure.
This means that they do repetitions until they are too tired to lift by the final repetition. This is good because it works the muscles to the limit.

However, according to scientists, training to failure could cause muscles to reach their peak easily and it is not entirely beneficial to the weight lifter.

A much better way to train is called "cluster training."

This means that rather than training to failure with the heaviest amount of weight you can handle followed by a long rest you can use the same weight with less repetitions and less rest.

Combining less reps and short rest will cause your muscles to accomplish more work in less time.

In short, with cluster training you can do twice as many reps with the same weight. This means higher muscle load, more rebuilding, more strength and bigger muscles. In fact, you will gain mass much faster.

Lifting weights four days a week for a month would be most beneficial if you use the cluster technique- two days for building strength and 2 days for gaining endurance and mass. It's worth trying.
