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.
