Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) June 25, 2007 -- A peer-reviewed research study published in 2007 reveals that there isn't a superior mode of strength training for inducing muscle growth. http://www.weight-lifting-workout-routines.com is an innovative fitness website that is using the findings of this study and other recent studies to develop a new muscle building system for men and women.

The three modes of strength training examined by this study were dynamic external resistance, isokinetic resistance, and isometric resistance. Additionally, 3 workout variables, frequency, intensity and volume, were also evaluated to determine their effect on muscle hypertrophy (growth).

Dynamic external resistance refers to the traditional type of strength training in which a weight is lifted and then lowered. Isokinetic resistance is when the muscle contracts and shortens at constant speed. In an isometric resistance, the muscle contracts but does not shorten, giving no movement.

Popular opinion, especially over the last decade, has suggested that isometric and isokinetic training are superior for inducing muscle growth, due to the type of "stress" that each type of training places on the muscle.

The goal of this peer-reviewed research study published in 2007 was to analyze all the available research pertaining to these forms of training to derive a conclusion. The study found that after reviewing all available data, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that either mode of training is superior to the other for inducing muscle growth, given sufficient frequency, intensity and volume.

The study was conducted by mLundberg Laboratory for Human Muscle Function and Movement Analysis, Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg University, Göteborg, in Sweden.

The profound findings of this study will help to shape muscle building programs in the future, with implications on fitness equipment manufacturers, bodybuilding magazines and more. http://www.weight-lifting-workout-routines.com is implementing the findings of this study to introduce a new muscle building system that focuses on frequency, intensity and volume as the key variables of muscle growth. The date of launch of this new system will be announced in the free newsletter published on the website.
