Training
Complete Physiques offers a wide array of training programs based on what you are trying to accomplish. Everyone’s body is different so I don’t believe in a “cookie-cutter” training program. What does that mean? It means, if you’re looking for something similar to the Body-For-Life type of training, or looking for something like Periodization training, the best training program can be designed specifically for you right here. And, alongside a comprehensive nutrition program, the results will come at a rapid pace to be ready for results!
When I design my training programs I keep in mind that we are trying to push the body to work at new levels, which is ultimately where your results will come from. You can’t simply train the same everyday without increasing intensity and expect to see results – this is where people tend to spin their wheels and become frustrated. As with nutrition, there is also a science behind training. Not enough and you won’t see any results. Too much and you’ll over train and regress. There’s a fine line so you have to make sure you’re training at an optimum level.
An example for my athletes: we can use a progressive method of training to essentially become bigger and stronger. Then, we’ll add in volume training, which has been shown to cause hormonal changes resulting in increased testosterone and growth hormone production naturally. These two principles combined creates a unique synergy perfect for anabolism…exactly what the competitive athlete is looking for! There are an endless amount of programs we can develop that will help give all Complete Physiques athletes the winning edge. Examples of other methods of training we can use: DC, FST-7and Overload.
Once again, the trick to achieving continual results and progress is to not allow your body to adjust to
any one variable. I can guarantee you that if your sole goal is to just keep adding weight to the bar, eventually it will not work, and you will get stuck. If you keep reducing your rest breaks, eventually you will not be able to recover in time to even do a hard set. If you keep taking your reps up, eventually you get into more of an oxidative type of training that will do nothing to help you gain lean mass. One of my philosophies employs a rotation of these of techniques combined with training principles like time under tension (TUT), continuous tension, rest-pause and other methods to make your routine more effective.
Definitely listen to your body and what it’s telling you – this is crucial to make sure we make progress and not regress. And, always remember the key ingredient is “intensity!”
