Increase Your Training Intensity - Forced RepetitionsWritten by Rick Mitchell
You can only build muscle tissue if you can generate progressively stronger muscular contractions, so this calls for an emphasis on finding ways to increase exercise intensity. This should not be confused with exercise duration as maximum training intensity will actually shorten time needed to achieve maximal muscular growth.In an earlier article I outlined ways in which you can intensify your training. Here we'll focus on role that forced repetitions have to play in intensifying training effect. When you reach point of muscular failure it is impossible to manage one more complete repetition of any exercise, at least not without losing form or correct technique. There is, however, one way in which you can increase intensity even further and that is by completing one or more forced repetitions with help of an experienced training partner.

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing basic exercises that constitute core of most bodybuiders' training regimes.It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over years, all better. In this article we'll take a close look at biceps curl using a barbell.
