Look Strong vs. BE STRONG again

 

We left off on with the idea that training causes more changes than most of us are aware.
Dr. Siff and brainiacs like Gibbs, Hall, Rosenzweig, Diamond, and a host of elites from the halls of academe discovered that fitness training affects our motor, cardiovascular, AND nervous systems.
That is why you may hear strength athletes talk in terms of training their nerves.  It is possible to have an incredibly high strength to weight ratio by maximizing functional strength training.  


Look Strong vs. BE STRONG cont.



There exist some generally accepted rep/set schemes when it comes to training for different purposes.  I’m not a fan of these generalizations because they don’t take into account the many different flavors of strength I’ve noted in previous posts (such as strength-speed, flexibility-strength, strength-endurance, and explosive strength).
