True. In order to see effective results in
weight training a person should gradually increase the amount and the type of
stimulus applied to the muscles. This includes adding or decreasing weights,
changing target muscles, or changing the weight training routine. Trainers
usually advise a 5-10% increase in weight within 2 weeks of continuous weight
training exercise. This is to prepare the muscles for the added stimulus and
also to condition the brain that it will exert extra effort. Increasing
stimulus at a fast pace might cause injuries and demotivation in individuals
who engage in this type of training.
