I'll do a write up on the different fibers and how to stimulate these and the action what occur, just give me a few days on it its very interesting stuff and will open your mind to why this type of training works..

Can't wait

[Hazard]

Hell cape, you don't even look like the same guy at the beginning of this year before the improvement contest. You've made huge improvements so I'd have to say until that stops and you hit a wall keep doing whatever youre doing now. If I had to pick something to critique based on just this one shot id say work on your mid section. Serratus and oblique tie ins and abs in general. I like how triangle traps look so I'd bring those up a little too. Arms, chest, shoulders all look great imo. I'd like to see your back. Looks like maybe you could bring your lats out more but hard to tell in that pic.

I'm quoting java because I'm not sure where you posted ur pic cape.

Anyways..... Ur lookin good. I didn't see your before pics yet so this is based only on what I see.....

Ur chest looks great IMO. Looks like your strongest part.

Delts and arms look good..... Can't see your back or lats so can't comment.

I'd like to see a straight on angle to better view your traps. From the poor angle they look smaller. It looks like they need catching up but again..... The angle is putting a lot of emphasis on your chest and not your traps.

Looking unreal man, I'll be happy with half of that back looks great

Appreciate it. I think it needs width and thickness. Traps aren't showing up.

Muscle fibers


With HIT training we are specifically trying to stimulate a certain type of muscle fiber. We have different muscle fibers in the body and once you know how to train certain ones and the importance of making these grow you can design the ideal training routine to suit your goals. We are all aiming to add muscle tissue and we have to put ourselves under stress by progressively overloading our bodies so they have no alternative but to grow. All muscle contraction starts by nerves being activated, the stronger the nerve signal the more forceful muscle contraction can be applied to the lift. The nerves first get activated by the brain and this is where the mind muscle connection comes into play. I am always saying that you must get yourself in the right mind set for the working set, there are many ways to do this and ive explained many ways in my thread how I go about doing it, but the stronger the mind before the working set the better contraction and force can be applied to the muscle fibers. We can all do 10 reps with a certain weight but you can also really think about those ten reps and really activate the contraction in the muscle and work that muscle to the max and those reps will feel completely different. This is what separates a lot of people so before I move on really think about how you do reps and work that particular muscle to its max. I've seen many members saying they are doing so many reps with a certain amount of weight but I can say I bet a lot aren't really activating that muscle group to the max. Remember everything starts from within your brain, your inner self and how you go about attacking that working set. You have seen how I describe the zone I get myself into just prior to my working set and this is the zone you need to be in to fully work those muscle fibers to the max.

We are after activating the motoneurons within the network of nerves which is the signal for the muscle to contact, we have many different sizes but we are only interested in the large motonerurons which activate the large muscle fibers. We have slow switch and fast twitch fibers within the body and we are all made up of different amounts, that's why some of us grow bigger and faster and others struggle growing big thick muscles. Usually the guys who struggle with adding slabs of tissue on their frame are the guys who have more slow twitch fibers than fast, and the guys who are more genetically gifted with bodybuilding are the one who have more fast twitch. But either way you need to activate the fast twitch fibers and give yourself the best chance of building bigger larger muscles.The slow twitch ones are the ones what are more suited for endurance and are very resistant to fatigue the aerobic type athletes have a higher amount of these fibers over fast twitch.

Fast twitch muscle fibers are the ones we are concerned with activating and working. There are two types 2a and 2b. The type 2a ones are fibers which get activated when doing higher reps ranges lets say more than 12-15 reps, they are also the fibers what come into action around the 6-12 rep range. Type 2a fibers when activated correctly can grow in size and this is what many people tend to activate and see growth from when they start training. The type 2b fast twitch fibers are the ones what I adore lol these babies are the foundations of building bigger thicker muscles, if you activate these correctly they can grow tremendously in size and grow about 4 times the size of the 2a fast twitch fibers can, so you can see these are the ones what make the difference, but stimulating both type 2a and 2b fast twitch is getting the best out of both worlds but my personal aim and priority is to stimulate the type 2b fast twitch fibers and seriously breakdown these to get me some serious size on my frame.

What's the best way to stimulate the 2b fast twitch muscle fibers I hear you asking, well ive described it all the way through my thread but let me go over it again so you understand how important it is to have the right mind set what I speak of all the time and what kind of stimulation is needed to activate these tough fibers. Usually during a set of about 6-12 reps the type 2a are activated, you know the sets were your repping away and start struggle a little bit and rack it and move on. In basic terms your not going to true positive failure (I can go on and on what true positive failure is but trust me it takes along time to push your body to this limit and a lot of mental dedication its an advance training protocol) now if you took your set to true positive failure and you cant do anymore this is the time when the type 2b fast twitch fibers are activated, once you activate these fibers this is the best potential to really make your muscle grow bigger and thicker.

You will grow with normal sets and reps with modest intensity but if you want serious growth than you have to take your working set to true positive failure, this means using a weight what is heavy enough to make that working set very difficult and then going past true positive failure. Remember the type 2a fast twitch do all do all the work until you get to true positive failure then the type 2b come into play and these are the ones what produce the biggest gains in muscle size. You have to progressively overload your body each time you train, this means add more weight (or reps until you can add more weight) to stimulate growth, you also need to make sure your activating the type 2b fast twitch fibers which only get involved when you go to true positive failure. Your rep range needs to be between 6-12 reps at the failure point, I prefer around 6-8 reps range at failure. This is why its wise to have a partner when trying to activate the type 2b fast twitch fibers because you may think your going to positive failure but you wont be you need that reassurance of a partner who can just take that small amount of weight of the bar at true positive failure so you can mentally get past this sticking point. There are many advance protocols what you can use to get yourself to true positive failure which I've discussed in my thread.

HIT training will activate the tough type 2b muscle fibers and going to true positive will recruit all the muscle fibers which will give you the best chance of some serious tissue growth. Using advance training protocols like drop sets, rest pause, forced, negatives, supersets and even partials can be used to further your beyond failure training to help you activate the type 2b fast twitch fibers.

[DCI]

Still not exactly bad shape. You will get more width and thickness in time.

How I have grown both is by doing a lot of rowing and some more rowing with some more rowing. Tensioned dead lifts and t bar rows have helped an awful for me

[kelkel]

Appreciate it. I think it needs width and thickness. Traps aren't showing up.

You've made dramatic improvements IMHO. Keep it up. Just learn to rest.

Taking back shots by yourself ain't easy, is it Cape!

That means a lot Kel. So if I can get my sleep apnea taken care of and ease up on the training a week or so. I should re establish some nice growth? I backed off today and did lower weight and reps in the 10-15 range.

Marcus when doing the lower weight higher rep do you go into 3 sets? Or stay with the 2?

When I am taking a pullback from my normal way of training, I still stick with what works but lower the intensity. If you start changing weights and reps you will get muscle loss, what built the muscle will keep the muscle all you need to do is lower the intensity IMHO. This depends on how fatigued you are but not going to failure and pushing beyond that point will be fine, some days have a high volume day, then go back to working the muscle. Also have more rest days and try and train in a shorter period of time.

Nice write up Marcus...... I'm actually going to use this to explain to my future brother in law how to train correctly. He's not new to the gym but new to bodybuilding so to speak.

I'm training with him next week and I'm going to try a session of this intense workout since I have a training partner. I won't kill him tho lol..... Can't have him gettin hurt on me.

There are many sides to taking your body to TRUE failure, the first is the mind set and the zone you have to be in. Ive written about it somewhere when I was training and how I put myself into this zone. It comes easy for me to release the adrenalin and transfer this tremendous anger into the working set, once you can do this its all about taking your body to the failure zone and then this is where it starts, this is where you stimulate the 2b fast twitch fibers, these are the ones grow very thick and big, these are the ones you need to target if you want to turn heads.......

Glad you like the write up

I like how it was explained. It's easy to understand and detailed. You can almost visualize the 2b fibers in your head as you're reading it haha.

When I train with him I'm going to utilize him to the fullest lol. Ill be able to go beyond failure for sure...... It's just the mental part now. We'll see how soon I can get on here to talk about it after training lol

You just said the magic words, blank everything out and visualize you completing the working set to the max. I do slightly deaf and cant hear anything except my inner voice, I think of things in my past what sets adrenalin flowing through my body, I them get ready and think of nothing else except the aggression what's inside of me onto the weights what are in front of me. When I begin the weight feels light and it doesn't even feel like a weight at all and the force I drive the weight up gets faster and faster, I control every part on the movement and I visualize my type 2b fibers being activated at the stage were I am screaming in pain in my head, this is the time I will implement either forced reps and go again until failure then negatives or I will use other methods to get me past and into this zone. Afterwards my senses go normal again, I slowly start to see normally and my hearing becomes clear, then I feel the fuking pain what ive just done and the pump and I say to myself - job done

[Capebuffalo]

First I can't train faster than 30-40 min. That's where I am now. Second, I'm sorry, but let me see if I understand. When doing a pullback do the same exercises, same weight, same sets, and same reps. However don't push to complete failure. Stop slightly short of that? As for more rest days, I have 2 now. Do you agree with Kel on training eod for me for now?

Thanks

What do you do on rest days? Do u rest rest? Do cardio?

I use 3 rest days - when bulking I rest on those days and dont do cardio. If I'm cutting ill do cardio on 2 of those days

Yes I totally agree with Kel train EOD or even stretch that further,

What built the muscle will keep the muscle always remember that if your over trained then you need more rest to recover, just decrease the intensity on your working sets and have longer rest periods its that simple. If your in an over trained state rest is the key and make sure you don't tip the balance on the scales with regards to intensity which will put more stress on the body. Just lower the intensity and don't train to true failure. Complete rest in the solution and if possible have a few days off then start back like ive stated above and train EOD.

Ok thanks. And I know that is the best way. Its just you got me in the kill mentality and its hard to turn off. I do know however I would do more harm than good continuing at the pace I am at now.

[sawyer86]

I feel like im in the same place as cape. Maybe i will try eod training.

[marcus300]

Ok thanks. And I know that is the best way. Its just you got me in the kill mentality and its hard to turn off. I do know however I would do more harm than good continuing at the pace I am at now.

The way I train I can normally only do around 6-8 weeks max at that intensity then I need to pull back and change things around let my body fully repair and heal. That's why it falls beautifully into one of my short cycles. Some people can only manage around 4 weeks and need to pull back but listening to your body and working with it will achieve far more than putting it under to much stress for to long of a period. With my work schedule I sometimes don't train for 4 days and this fits really well into my training protocols because when I train I try my best to overload my muscle with maximum intensity

[marcus300]

Its impossible to train like ive advice in this thread for months on end, if you are you are not training to true positive failure. First thing you need to do is learn how to mentally get yourself ready to activate those fibers, then you need to make sure your going to true positive failure ( which I think is were many fail) and then makes sure you rest enough and feed the growth. If need be I will come round to each and every one of you and make sure your training to failure

[Capebuffalo]

Since I train alone this is what I am calling failure. I go until I can't get the weight to full press/curl/ pull whatever. But instead of quitting I continue to try and move the weight. It will stick at some point then start to slowly fall. That's when I push with everything I've got to keep it from coming down. When it hits I'm either don or drop weight and do it all over the same way. That is me training to failure. If this needs to be changed please Lear me know. But I tell you I never quit trying to push or keep from coming down until my body has nothing. The mind never never quits anymore.

I think having a training partner that understands true failure would be extremely beneficial

I agree with Haz, having a partner will just give you that reassurance and be able to help you get that failure rep out, but there are protocols if you do not have a partner and these are mentioned throughout the thread, but if you like I will do a write up on some and how to execute them properly.

Ive written some really interesting posts recently on what it takes to get to failure and ive also written sometime back on a workout I did what explained my whole thought process throughout the training and how I managed to get mentally prepared for the working set.

Have you seen Dorian train people, he tells them on the working set to get 6 reps out and once they reach 6 he shouts one more and they do it, then he shouts one more and he slightly helps them and that's the set done. he managed to get another 2 reps out but if he told them that get 8 reps out at the start they would mentally fail before they pick up the weight. The first step is in the mind and its not easy but let me ask you something, if you was on your last rep at failure and I had a set of pliers on your ear holding it tight and I shouted one more rep or your ear is coming off, would you manage another rep???? mind muscle connection !!! its powerful

[sawyer86]

I think that would do it like! The thought of loosing an ear would help me get an extra couple out!

At Haz. Rest days have been working for a while now or chasing my 2 yr old around. This past weekend I did nap when he napped and it was nice.

At Marcus. The 6:30-7 am workouts I do doesn't have many people there. And the ones that are are 60-80 yrs old. I know 2 others living this lifestyle and they aren't close enough to be able to train with on a regular basis. I would get more from a partner but its not available at this point. I feel I have the mind set and the drive. I am lacking the rest. But will be taking care of that.

Rest is what you need at the moment. No partner use rest pause or drops
Glad to hear you have the mind set

What a difference a year makes. !!!!!!

[DCI]

Tonight was back again very light as last night.

Started with

Bb rows 3 sets of 10-12 reps very light but sqeeuzed the muscle and felt great.

Seated D bar rows on the cable machine again same as above felt good.

Tensioned deads very good just pulled them slow and steady.

Then db rows very slow and controlled the same as above.

Then cardio for 20 mins.

Feel great after it not fatigued at all so next week should be a great week of pain and pushing weight.

You just can't continually keep that pace up and beat yourself into the ground. Especially with daily sessions. Add in working full time and a family and young kids and it catches up to you. Do what Marcus said and lighten the intensity a bit. Implement the EOD training for a while. You may be surprised how good it feels to have that rest day in between and be fully charged for all your workouts. I switched to it years ago and never looked back.

[kelkel]
