How to lift weights quickly and why fast weight lifting can mean you're living longer

Rapid weight lifting may mean you are living longer. Today at EuroPrevent 2019, a congress of the European Society of Cardiology, tips on how to lift weights quickly to improve your muscle strength were presented.

According to the European Society of Cardiology, rapid weight lifting can increase your lifespan.

Professor Claudio Gil Araújo, Director of Research and Education at Clinic of Sports Medicine – CLINIMEX, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said: The exercise focuses on the latter. Our study shows for the first time that people with more muscle strength tend to live longer. "

How to lift weights quickly and build muscle strength

The European Society of Cardiology gave the following advice:

"How to train to increase your muscle strength:

• Choose several exercises for the upper and lower body
• Choose a weight with the load to reach maximum power (not so easy to lift and not so heavy that you can barely lift it)
• Do one to three sets of six to eight repetitions by moving the weight as quickly as possible while contracting your muscles (slow or natural speed to return to the original position).
• Rest for 20 seconds between each set to replenish enough energy reserves in your muscles to start the new set.
• Repeat the above procedure for other exercises (biceps, etc.).

How to progress:

• Begin with six repetitions in each set, and when exercise becomes easy, try increasing to eight
• If it becomes easy again, increase the weight and return to six repetitions.
• If you can not finish the repetitions with the correct technique, avoid "cheating" and return to less repetition or lower weight. This is important to prevent injury. "
