so true! you need to stimulate as many fibers as possible in order to grow,even the type 1 ones,because as we know increased capillarisation aids muscle growth!

I've been preaching stuff like this for years, since reading Poliquin's books. Nobody wanted to listen to me...especially when I start talking about Time Under Tension (TUT).....

Nobody wanted to listen to me... Who is not listening? Someone feeling guilty? ;D No, it only takes a few glances around the gym to see that most people always do X amount of reps and stop. They don't vary the weight by how many reps they're doing, they just pick up X amount of weight and attempt 12 reps or whatever. Just watch a few people in your gym next time and you'll see this. Or go to GetBig, Mayhem, IM, or BBing.com and you can also see this in the workout journals. Lately, the "trend" has been to do this- with the popularity of P/RR/S and all (and CP's teachings becoming more mainstream with the advent of the net). But with FLEX, MD, and the other mags out there promoting the same routine over and over and over and over and over and over again, people look through those mags and they see Ronnie Coleman doing 10-12 with DB's one week, and BB's the next week, and think "That's all I have to do to get big? Great!" And that's all they do. And then throw their hands in the air when they fail, not realizing that you adapt to rep schemes, rest periods, weight used in the workout, DB's, BB's, muscle fibers targeted (& how many used during each workout), volume, intensity (two very different things!) and so on.... Crap, my fingers took over on this post- for sure! |
