Time has not been on my side of late but I've had this post idea lined up for some weeks now but as I haven't shot the videos for it them I'll make it a 2-parter.
For the uninitiated gym goer, going to the gym involves lifting something up and down where progress is made through either lifting something heavier or lifting the same thing more times then last time.
Foe the initiated gym goer they will more then likely be aware that a traditional training rep involves 3 types of muscle contraction being an eccentric, isometric and concentric.
The eccentric portion is the lengthening of the muscle (lowering into a bench press), the isometric portion is the midpoint of the rep (on the chest for a bench press) and the concentric is the shortening of the muscle (lifting off the chest in a bench press).
Emphasis can be placed on each of these contractions in various ways and can be of benefit to everyone if used correctly.
This has been done for the ages but I'm gonna shed some light on some other either forgotten, or just unknown, training methods that are geared specifically towards peptide-free performance enhancement.
In my next 2 - 3 posts I will touch on each of the following, why you should be using them and how to slot them into your training right now:
- Breathing Patterns
- Stretching Through Correct Breathing
- Training the Feet/Ankle Complex
- Tendon Stiffness
- Force Absorption
- Eccentric Overload
- Relaxation
- Contraction/Relaxation
I hope to get all the videos shot for these this week so hopefully you'll be able to use some of these 'new' methods in a weeks time.
