Dom's Training Log

Djdom56 · 7 May 2012 at 18:32

They they felt great today. It's weird but my stance used to be much narrower but since starting lifting heavy again I've had to go much wider and found that I get a lot more power out of it. Weird.

Really nice form Dom looking nice on the pause reps there.

On the stance width/power comment, isn't power only reduced when your brining your legs/knees inside your feet? From the looks of your lifts your legs are nicely over the centre of your feet so no reason you should lose any power there.

What's your record target?

Djdom56 · 7 May 2012 at 18:58

Nope, it depends on a lot of things. For example, overall flexibility in those ranges, cross sectional area of muscle involved, elasticity of tissue in the relevant position, etc.

I'm not losing any power, I'm saying I'm more powerful.

The british record 192.5kg so that is the goal for this year

Yep

Oh okay. Advantages for this? Or what sort of training is this suited for? Never seen those set / rep ranges before

icecold · 10 May 2012 at 11:58

Strength training, and none metabolically driven hypertrophy.

Okay, I figured as much about the Strength training...

But the other thing? In English?

It means he's growing Type IIX man fibres rather than pussy Type Is

That any clearer

Also, I post setxrep structures like that all the time, someone isn't paying attention

Djdom56 · 10 May 2012 at 12:41

Sounds like the best way to describe it to me

In other words no different than standard hypertrophy training?

icecold · 10 May 2012 at 13:21

No, it's the opposite type of growth.

Explain in laymans terms please. I'm being thick as per usual

Hypertrophy is for growth no?

icecold · 10 May 2012 at 13:43

Yes, but typically hypertrophy rep ranges are 8-12 reps with short rests which targets metabolic factors. This induces faster growth, but not of the type IIX fibres.

It's not really something you need to worry about.

Not worrying, just curious as to why he was doing those rep/set ranges as it seemed odd

I'm greedy really....I just want to learn everything in life

I would have presumed it was for strength, but I'm guessing due to the extra sets it's hitting on the verge of hypertrophy but not in a standard-hypertrophy way? Or whatever the word is for 'the pump'

icecold · 10 May 2012 at 13:58

No

It is hypertrophy, just not stimulated by metabolic factors.

"The pump" is an entirely separate concept, but it is often associated with higher rep ranges.

Okie doke

Still not entirely there, hopefully I'll find something to read up on it a bit more later

It's very advanced and isn't likely to affect your training (which is what I meant when I said "don't worry about it"). Your time would be better spent researching and practising other things.

edit: sorry if that sounds patronising, it really isn't meant to be. This kind of stuff is only really worth knowing at high levels of strength and conditioning coaching.

No that's fine

But then that's why I would like to understand it I guess, so when I get to that point, I won't be at a loss for what to do.

ANYWAY! Kinda hijacking Doms log here (Sorry chap

)
