I just watched him.

He espouses the view that constant tension on the muscle is more important than anything else. 'Time under tension' as they say.

I don't see any reason to believe he's wrong. You should in theory build muscle working out like this. I know I do this myself on some exercises.

I think the only issue with a routine like that is it's for very experienced lifters. Beginners would just get confused doing that shit and make no progress. You have to really know your body to start doing that kind of stuff.

So in a week I'll have climbed the stairs of the CN Tower. What are the best exercises to prepare for the excruciating pain I'm about to endure after climbing 1,776 steps?

well since what your during is endurance based work on your endurance. Maybe spend some time on actually climbing stairs or doing step ups with just your bodyweight. Do squat jumps where you just explode from the bottom and pick your feet off the ground. Walking lunges with no body weight would work too. Just spend like 45 minuets doing a combination of body weight exercises and rest for the rest of the week so you can recover for the stairs. If you never work out one workout like this will skyrocket your endurance. This will work out your fast twitch fibers which is what will be kicking in the most.

Congrats on getting back in there! Don't be too discouraged, you will build it back up very quickly. Sometimes a nice long break can be good so you can refresh your mind and prioritize better since you know what it's like to fall off your workout schedule.

yeah hopefully muscle memory kicks in soon. Just sucks to go from repping 100 dumbells to struggling with 60s

Re: The Fitness Thread

Hey Reincarnate, what was your starter weight anyways?

**Reach** · 10-17-2012, 03:38 AM

Re: The Fitness Thread

How's the progress reincarnate?

Gained 0.5 lb this week. Back on track. Eating like a fiend, training less (3x a week now down from 4x), making more gains. Been super busy, so it's hard to find the time to recover. Didn't gain any weight last week
