Workout Smarter, Not Harder Big Results You Can Really See at utime Fitness Studios


Bodybuilding is a long term investment. You don’t earn any interest, but you will earn a lot of 
respect and pride. Just like with any other habit, you have to stick with it for it to become part 
of your healthy lifestyle. And that’s why utime Fitness Studios is here-- to keep you 
motivated! For just HK$599 per month, you get 24 hour access to utime Fitness Studios with

A new healthy habit (just like any other new change) takes some time to master. You don't 
have to love every change you try. The trick is to find the changes you do like and put your 
focus there so they become habits. Bodybuilding, ie putting on muscle, isn't just about lifting  
more and more weight. Below, find our tips on working out smarter-- not harder, for big 
results you can really see.


Start with lower weight warm up reps, saving your energy to lift your heaviest on your last 
few sets. For example, say you're planning to squat with 135 kg for five reps. You could start 
with 60kg for six reps, 80kg for five, 100kg for three, and then 135kg for five. By the time 
you get to the 135 set, you'll be thoroughly warmed up but not fatigued.

Rest between sets, we recommend three to five minutes. To lift your hardest, your body 
needs to regenerate as much Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-- the fuel source for muscle 
contractions, as possible.  

Before deadlifting, activate your glutes first. Glutes are the prime movers in a proper 
deadlift and activating them first allows them to fire at their fullest. Try a few Glute bridges 
before you deadlift next time. Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet 
close to your butt. Dig your heels into the floor and bridge up with your hips, focusing on the 
contraction in your glutes. Do two sets of eight to 10 reps.
