Why do such high repetitions?
What are you preparing for with those high reps?
What are the weights that you are using? THe intnsity has to be so low to accomplish 4 sets of 50 reps that I just can't see it being specific to anything really.
Apparently it doesn't :/!...
i bent half a mind to addressing intensity but I poo pooed the type time on need-to-know / 'll even notice grounds..
I vary to be completely honest.. intensity and tempos.. might even consider it the difference.. fartlek meets all sorts of other tids and bits ..
Becaause Patrick, and i'm sure i've read the same from Arnie / JC ( and trainer (??) )aand Dennis Wolf in interviews similar things supportive or reiteratively annecdotal to the effect of, that if you perform high reps at a smaller weight, between atp / MUR and and musclefibre protagonism, it therreby facilitates a capacity to lift heavier under condition of less reps.
i am huuge jodi on trunk / skeleture and muscular and connective tissue sequence building twd stabilty strength progressions and at and or from all conceivable angles and lengths and tempos and intensities.. you dont know good condition until you know good condition. It makes soo much difference to evvery single compound and certain isolated movements i perform.. I don't believe you'll ever sell me otherwise.
The weights i 'm using atm is only 12.5 kg res. via infomercial machine ( and tell chuck norris about the total gym if you like .. in fact .. get a 200 + lb friend to sit on the slideboard and do incline tri-cable pulls and decline pushups with themm as your resistence and tell mee about it if you like
.. lol .. fun memories with myphat girl bud
).. hehe..
I really didn't want to post so much today but the ab doer has a natural and workable resistence either way of 12.5 kg base.. spine/ pelvic pos. being imo the difference in how much resistence you can milk out of it..
It also has a flexible spine which means in conjunction with the seat that you can flip your work angle and use the spine playing with the arm bar handles for foot / archilles / bottom of toe - upper bottom foot rest / hook as your leg movement and the seat ( with cushions @ + or - angles or unsupine / sherminolgy ) to hit angles and latent tissue and so on that you'd never otherwise likely realise you had.. aand with resistence.. all at imo extreemely comfortable and even luxuroius volume capacity.. if I flip over and angle off on my knees ( one on seat one one leg planted to ground with half rotation )or sit facing the spine I can also get in bi-cep curls and push downs and tri pull backs ( and lower ) and my teres lovve that .. Ii love how they love that ( blush
.) and my spine and general ab- pelvic connective and supportive nethers don't hate me for it neither.. i can flip and do decline chest raises and leg extensions rvs hypers lower back extensions and 200 reps no sweat.. or go lateral seated twist under and ups or lateral slide to toes ..all at 12.5 kgs if I want it .. and a really good height for seated tri dips at bw and decline hundu / court platform ..
i tried to find you a link but i dont think they sell them anymore.. no shit.. one of my favourite semi portable machines I've ever struck!
When i get back to uni in a few weeks , since you're asking, I'm going to try to
re-create the 100 + kg lifts I conditioned to this way and try to gain progressions on them whilst I add mass ..
nooo idea exactly what it'll look like, .. not when i get there and not on the way, but unless i hear something consisely and reasonabley and benevolently critical.. then that's my plan.
The cardio is to keep all systems in sympathetic harmony.. i like the exceleration factor it brings to my speed fibres.
Pls just sue me on typos if you must. Hope that answers your questions.
