Oh I get the physics of it. My comment was in regards to the monotony of such excruciatingly slow movements. I at no time questioned the efficacy of this type of training. Technically is the weight is moved at constant speed the force will be the same regardless of speed however faster speeds correspond to less time under tension and of course as you said imply a greater initial acceleration.

Warm regards, John Shalvey

+Jay Vincent If that is the case, then perhaps it should be performed as a stand alone exercise, first, then a 5-10 minute rest before the fun begins with the HIT circuit. Performing it last, it has been reasoned places the subject into a situation where the exercise that demands the most energy is being performed when the energy supply is at it's lowest point. I have had success alternating a lower body exercise with 2-3 upper body exercises as I work my way through 12 total in the circuit. Usually, Leg Press is the 1st exercise performed. Thanks for the feedback. I will try it a few times and compare the difference to my current habit.

I am sure it will also vary between people. Personally, my nervous system is wrecked just after a few upper body exercises and I find that I need to do lower body work on a completely different day.

Enter the Powerline home Multi-Gym with Leg Press by Body Solid (bodysolid dot com). Not cheap (but nothing compared to years of a fully equipped gym membership or purchase and housing of separate machines), a partner and I split the cost ($600 each, purchased through Sears), but damn...properly assembled this little monster accommodates ALL of McGuff's exercises as shown in Body by Science, and many more (25, in fact), all off a single (expandable) weight stack. The footprint is under 7ft. x 6ft, and it's solid steel throughout. Near commercial quality equipment, ingeniously designed. I've no dog in this race (retired), did a fair amount of research to find this equipment and con my girlfriend into devoting a small guest bedroom of her new home into housing the beast, but I defy any serious gym enthusiast to recommend a better multi-purpose resistance home setup for anything approaching this price, quality, and convenient size.

@@Piccolo_Re I'm not trying to be critical of the guy...with his genetics there is only so much he can accomplish. But I honestly don't think this method is working for him very well. You'd want to see more results for the time and effort you're putting into the training. And if those results are not happening, then you have make some changes. The big problem with HIT people is...they exaggerate their attacks regarding volume training. In your case you say your legs respond well but not your upper body...well, doing a few more sets might be what your upper body needs. But HIT exaggerate and make it seem like volume means 8-10 sets. But if you're doing 1 set and increase it to 4, well that is more volume...but it's a lot less volume than doing 8-10 sets! Now some people have very different goals...I'm 64 and my goals are not the same as when I was 24 or 34. I don't want to feel like I've got to hit the weight 3x a week. At my age recovery takes longer and 3x a week is too much for me. So doing a semi-HIT workout of 1-2 sets and 2x a week is doable for me. And if I feel like adding a few more sets than I do it.

Looks like a very unpleasant way to exercise using lighter resistance to accommodate the excruciating slow concentric and eccentric portions of each rep. I think muscles have always been built with more resistance and quicker rep tempo, an observation not really subject to debate.
@myHITuni4 жыл бұрын
Whether this is "a very unpleasant" way to exercise depends on the individuals perception of effort and tolerance to discomfort. Muscle can be built with a 5RM load or a 30RM load, 30 seconds of TUT or 120 seconds of TUT. Dislike the discomfort of long sets, then increase load and keep the sets at the shorter end of the spectrum, as you suggest. Note that shorter sets *may* be somewhat favorable as a stimulus for myofibrilar hypertrophy, longer sets *may* stimulate a greater sarcoplasmic response. Sure, reps do not need to be this slow to stimulate an adaptive response. Significantly challenging reps, those proximal to muscular failure will always be somewhat slow regardless of intended tempo.

Just at a Planet Fitness center. I feel like I do more in 30 min than most folks there do in a week, as in they are doing short bursts and then remaining on the machine with their stupid phones. Which is fine, if it works for them. Anyways I am 64, fit and muscular. Also run around 20 miles a week.

@myHITuni8 жыл бұрын
+BurritoJimmy _ When continuous and unencumbered breathing is utilized during high intensity resistance training (as shown in this video), it seems that peripheral (in the vasculature) systolic blood pressure is elevated significantly; the increase in peripheral diastolic pressure is less pronounced. It appears, however, that there is no increase in central (in the heart itself) blood pressure, above resting levels. Immediately upon finishing a HIT workout, blood pressure is likely to fall below pre-workout resting levels, however thereafter, there is likely to be a rapid return to close to baseline resting levels within the first few minutes of rest post-workout. Regular HIT may lead to a long-term decrease in resting blood pressure, particularly in those originally presenting with mild hypertension.

Everything he's saying is literally everything body by science talks about in the book by Dough Mcguff by verbatim. in Laymen terms, as long as you keep a controlled breathing tempo, like what the client is doing, it puts less pressure on the heart and allows oxygen to flow in to help facilitate in the workout. Dough even recommends breathing in and out almost as if you're hyperventilating to ensure that oxygen is being evenly distributed throughout the routine when the work load gets more intense. the less you breathe, or hold your breathe during these workouts, you increase your blood pressure. essentially, bodybuilders do this interchangeably, sometimes they hold their breathe to get more oxygen to help give them more reps, but that's ultimately detrimental to your health long term. By working out the way this video describes it prevents future complications long-term physiologically and actually helps by decreasing blood pressure long term if performed regularly.

This cadence is too slow. I believe in the principles of HIT as taught by the late great Mike Mentzer. But not like this. I was adding 10lbs to my deadlift a workout for 16 straight workouts. Once a week using a more regular training cadence. You have to engage all of the muscle and CNS. Then rest adequately. And EAT adequately. Or you will remain small. And not make optimal progress. In size and strength.

is this legit? It seems like you're doing movements that require fast twitch fibers, but very slow. Isn't this an unusual amount of strain to put on ligaments and tendons??? When doing abs and legs in this method woduln't this increase the risk of getting a hernia, or hemorrhoids when squatting?
@myHITuni9 жыл бұрын
Hi Marq, This approach to exercise sequentially recruits all muscle fibers from slow through fast. The fast twitch fibers are recruited toward the end of the set. The ligaments and tendons are exposed to an unusually low level of force due to the slow cadence (in comparison to exercise where a faster cadence is used- where ligaments and tendons can be exposed to excessive and damaging forces). Notice the constant breathing throughout each exercise- this breathing method makes this type of exercise exceptionally low-risk. Hernias and hemorrhoids on the other hand- are due to straining against a load (often a one rep max) whilst holding the breath (Valsalva Maneuver).

HITuni - the home of High Intensity Training Thanks for the info. I'm a BJJ practitioner and i did ta variation of this routine about 2 days ago using free weight compound lifts, (bench, squat, deadlift, over head press, and rows.) I noticed my heart rate increased during the set, and my B.P. went up. I was done with my workout pretty fast, and i'm probably going to stick with this routine, because i'm feeling pretty damn sore right now. I'm guessing as long as my muscle are getting fatigued from lots of time under load, i should make progress.

MARQ CARNITA This type of strength training will serve you well in preparation for BJJ both in terms of strength and metabolic conditioning, throw in your skill practice/mat work and bouts and you're good to go. You can also use the following order of the exercises you mention if you feel like changing the order up at some point: Bent Over Row, Overhead Press, Dead lift, Bench Press, Squat.

HITuni - the home of High Intensity Training Yeah I'll do that on my next day. I'm probably just going to train twice a week, due to how much time under load there is in this routine. I do BJJ 2-3 times a week. I want to make sure I'm fully recovered before getting on the mat. Thanks

Different people have a different genetic potential. Depending on your genetics, diet and where your starting from will result in a different look. The aesthetics might be important to you but accessibility, time, strength gains, ease of implementation, functionality, body matenence etc. May be more important to other people. I'd rather be able to lift more weight than I did 3 months ago and be injury free than look a particular way.

Good point, a great trainer will be able to get a client to appreciate the importance of this and coax them in the direction of working this hard. Some may get it in the first session or two, others will take longer, and everyone can benefit.

@twoodard37847 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but if you're going to endorse Paleo-copying concepts then this workout routine misses the mark badly. Paleo man never would have sat or layed around making weight go up and down super-slow. Super-slow activity causes super-slow sarcomeres, which in turn causes a super-slow individual. Remember: "adaptive response". No thanks.
@irenemax3574 Жыл бұрын
This super-slow muscle work trains every fibre of each muscle at each length, so if you need to react quickly and forcefully, your muscles are equipped to do that. The adaptive response is that all the fibres in a muscle are awake and ready to work when needed, just like Paleo man, who possibly did this type of exercise to maintain his fitness when not chasing prey or running from predators.

Logically everything is good, but I have always been wondering why the majority of these super slow guys are so scrawny? Take, for instance, mister McGuff's long time friend Skyler. This guy has been doing this type of workouts for ages, still looks like a stick. I understand, different people have different genetics, but, in my opinion, they miscalculating many variables...

+Jiminy Cricketer Harder does not mean more productive. And yes, I read his book. I agree with this approach to training, but not to diet/nutrition. However, muscle strength is one of the most important part of overall fitness. Size, in most cases, will increase with the strength increase.
@fitfrog658 жыл бұрын
+Oleg M I've seen too many large muscular guys who not only are severely and permanently injured to the point of crippling but not fit enough to walk a city block. McGuff's approach uses strength training to increase fitness and health in a safe, sustainable environment. Strength training is a tool and the objective is not necessarily body building or olympic weight lifting (two objectives I believe are contra health). I'm not a true believer in McGuff's methods but I do believe his book makes it clear that athletic performance and super fitness are quite different from health. His points regarding injuries and overall health are also well taken. ( I also, do not advocate a paleo diet, I'm more of a balanced diet guy.) I simply want to be honest about his methods and approach, not debate the virtues of size or athletic abilities. "Body by Science" is an excellent book and Dr. McGuff is an articulate advocate.
@CheckYourPremises8 жыл бұрын
+Jiminy Cricketer Well, yes, I am not advocating PED or saying that power lifting and olympic style lifting is the answer. Not even crossfit stupidity. But what I am saying is that most of those HIT guys, for some reason, have nothing to show, in terms of muscle mass/strength. Just like the person in this video. Skyler is another example. I seriously doubt that Skyler, for instance, would be able to handle any serious resistance. I am a huge fan of the original Mike Mentzer approach. I don't really think that 10 * 10 sec (superslow style) is necessary or more productive. All you need to do is to lift in controlled manner in order to avoid excessive force . I've been pretty successful with 3*3 or 3*4 sec cadence. Alternating 3 BIG compound exercises with a trap bar heavy dead lift. Each once every 2 weeks. Some of those guys would greatly benefit from less volume and frequency. Even once in 3 weeks. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but it works magic. Diet is what Dr. McGuff, in my opinion, got it all wrong. And it makes such a HUGE difference in results. Low carb/paleo approach to diet will inevitably trigger higher levels of stress hormones and those hormones LOVE eating your muscles and slowing down your thyroid. More than even steady state activity nonsense.
@fitfrog658 жыл бұрын
+Oleg M I get your point. My point is that size isn't what McGuff is necessarily about. Originally, Arthur Jones made some claims concerning muscle development, using Casey Viator etc, but I don't think that's McGuff's total message. "Body by Science" in many ways is quite different from Nautilus/Jones. In the end you are better off being injury free, healthy and reasonably fit. Don't forget, Casey Viator is dead as are the Mentzer brothers. Some claim a relationship between grip strength and health and longevity (I'm skeptical here) but no reputable scientist claims muscle size leads to health and longevity. I can't speak for Dr McGuff but I don't believe he is recommending an ideal body building routine.
