SHadow's Unified TraIning Theory....or, as I prefer....SHUT IT.
Ever wondered why a marathon runner LOOKS like a marathon runner??
What about why a sprinter has "Sprinters" thighs?
...or
....why is it that champion plers continure to break World Record after WR WITHOUT going up a weight class??
....how about this one - ever wondered WHY some bodyparts like ABS and CALVES and FOREARMS seem to grow better with a higher rep range??
Wanna know the REAL secret to training??
TUT
Time
Under
Tension
.....that is, how many seconds are your muscles actually uner a "load" when lifting??
Ok - GYM LORE:
8-10 reps are best for size and 4-6 are best for strength.
Well......TUT confirms the gym lore.
a typical rep cadence for a bber is a 2 second concentric(contraction) and a 4 second eccentric(negative)....thats 6 seconds per rep.
on a rep sceme of 8-10 reps - that gives a 48-60 second TUT for that particular set.
on a rep scheme of 4-6 - we have a 24-36 second TUT load.
....so, on an emperical basis, it looks like TUT fits the gym lore so to speak.
ok - back to the marathoners.........
what is THEIR TUT??
......Its MASSIVE.........its so large that it causes MASSIVE overtraining and the resulting OVERTONUS in the muscles - ie that saggy nasty runners ass and a physique that is flatter than road-kill.
back to the sprinters - their TUT......it places them in the "size" zone.......ergo - their thighs resenble tree trunks.
now - what about "stubborn" bodyparts?
What do abs, Calves, and Forearma have in common?
...a SHORT STROKE DISTANCE......
....so a typical trainer will fly thru the reps which DRASTICALLY lowers the TUT......that knocks them out of the growth zone and puts them(sometime barely) into the strength zone.....
we all know someone who has freakishly strong calves, and yet they are under-developed when following a typical 8-10 rep range.
...so - think it over.
Ask questions.
