When you have gained all you need through bodybuilding, you can then proceed and try some advanced training to intensify your workouts. In its simplest sense, this exercise is not recommended for beginners. This doesn't mean you'll have to train harder and longer, it will completely defeat what proper bodybuilding is all about. Nevertheless, advanced training is meant to maximize your already full potential but not to drain your energy.

Among the advanced training is the one called the negative training. The body has three classifications of strengths. The first one is the Positive strength which is the ability to raise a weight, followed by Static strength which is to hold a weight and then the third called the Negative strength or the process of lowering the weight. Negative strength is important to achieve true muscle failure.

To start the Negative training, you will need to two partners. Your partners will bee lifting the weight up after which, you need to lower it for very slowly. Your partners will need to lift the weight up for you as you slowly bring it down again for the entire process.

Remember, the negative training is for you to ONLY do the negative part, and not the positive. Similar to the overall notion of bodybuilding training, do not overdo this set. Negative training can be very exhausting, so take the time to rest and infrequent negative training sets.

On the other hand, if you can't get anyone for gym partners, you can either use a stepladder under a chin bar or use the Parallel-bar dips instead. If you want to try the former method of executing this Negative training, use your legs to climb to the top position and then your arms for lowering yourself only. If you want to add weights on, you can use a weight belt to hook the weight plates.

Don't forget, overtraining yourself isn't going to do you any good, it's not recommended at all. Do take extra precaution before you start this training set to make sure that you're all set to go.
