Torture Training For Sick Muscle Gain
Underground Style!
i just finished
my first phase 2 workout 1 training and boy did it suck (
it was damn hard ). the goal is to finish each set with 4
- 6 repetitions, and i achieved this maybe at 1 excersice,
the rest i failed at 2 or 3 repetetions.
i am not at all
happy with this, but here's the thing when done correctly
each rep takes about 25 seconds x 4 = 100 seconds. that's
almost 2 seconds.
so when i think
of this im not that surprised that i failed and i think i
should use less weights.
so basically i'd
be using a lot less weight then when doing normal sets. So
if i can do 10 reps of normal shoulder press with 50 pounds,
i'd be using 25 or 30 pounds for the rest pauze traing
is this bad, because
you're supposed to use a weight that allows you 10 normal
reps ??
and another thing
when next time i fail at the 2 or 3 reps an i can't do anymore
rets pauze training but i could throw in another 1 or 2 normal
reps, should i do this to really feel the burn or should i
not ?
thanks
For explosive growth
the technique I find to be most effective is to incorporate
a series of punishing techniques at the end of every max weight
set. So train the phase you are in as normal but at the end
of your maximum sets, do the following when momentary muscular
failure is reached with good form:
Partial reps at
your strongest range of motion till failure
Rest pause at your strongest point in the range of motion
for a count to ten tofifteen seconds.
So you would do
as many reps as you can do till momentary muscular failure
then pump out some quick partials until no more can be done
then hold the barbell or weight wherever you can for a count
to ten to fifteen seconds.
I guarantee this will absolutely kill you but be very rewarding.And
be forewarned if you can endure this sick form of self torture
you will go through training partners like Gene Simmons through
groupies!
As for failure
before reaching your target repetition scheme, the same applies,
do partials then and then a rest pause contraction for a count
to ten.
For strip sets you can do this for a couple of weight levels
( at your maximum weight then at your first stripping of weight
etc )
