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.
