*The Human system is very diverse

The skeletal muscles consist of both slow twitch and fast twitch muscles

Slow twitch muscle are activated when your system is under light constant stress for long periods of time

Fast twitch muscles are activated when your system is under heavy stress for short periods of time

​

Distance runners have extremely developed slow twitch muscle, having the ability to do countless repetition after repetition.

Because of the long period of time that the muscles are needed. These types of athletes tend to retain more fat on their frames than normal Human systems because of the added need for long periods of energy use

Too much Slow Twitch Muscle training will cause you to look soft and not very dense

​

Sprinters have extremely developed Fast Twitch Muscles and having the ability to move very quickly over a short period of time

The Muscles on these Athletes are very dense and defined

​

*The Human System is very EFFECIENT

​

The Human System's skeletal Muscles, Tendons, and Joints work together to move and manipulate it's appendages

This system works like a hydraulic system.

Meaning the muscles do not actually push but the opposite muscle group of the moving appendage contracts which causes the object being lifted to move

Ex: When you think your triceps are pushing the bar when you bench press, it is actually your pectoral muscles contracting causing the weight to move

​

For every muscle movement there is a contraction and a release. When you contract the muscle there is stress on the muscle

When you release the Muscle there is little stress on the muscle.

This type of workout causes you to develop the muscle in a unbalance manner

To achieve maximum gain you need stress on the contraction and the release.

This will cause the muscle to grow balanced

​

Ex: Arm Curl..........Contract the weight until it reaches the apex of it's movement and resist the downward motion on the release

There should also be no point in the movement or the rep that the muscle is not under stress for the complete range of motion​

​

With this knowledge you can set up your own routine

When exercising you should follow these guidelines

Inhale on the contraction and move object at a quick count of 4

Exhale on the release and resist the movement for a slow count of 4

While maintaining constant tension and resistance during the movement

​

This Technique will allow you to get the maximum results with the minimum amount of time
