The Science Of Rapid Muscle Growth
Constructing the type 3 muscle fiber
Lean Hybrid Muscle building routines include some of the most grueling workouts that most people have ever experienced. Its a good day when none of the guys that train at Strength Camp puke after a training session.
Well, if you’re like most AVERAGE fitness folks you are probably asking yourself… “Why the heck would someone pay this psycho… only to engage in this form of fitness brutality?”
There are many strength and conditioning coaches that train their athletes and clients to the point of “revisiting their lunch” simply to punish them or to prove a point. But when members at Strength Camp engage in our hybrid muscle training sessions there is a SCIENCE behind the sadism.
You see, most people go to the gym on Monday and do their weight training followed by cardio on Tuesday. But at Strength Camp we combine both weight training AND cardio in the same session… in fact, many times both elements are expressed in a single exercises.
Here’s an example…
Instead of the average training routine that would include dead lifts and biceps curls for 3 sets of 10, our “hybrid” routine may consist of heavy sandbag loading for as many reps as possible in a 60 second span.
Here are the benefits of training The Hybrid Way:
1. When you force a fast twitch (type 2b) muscle fiber that is accustomed to explosive movements such as heavy sand bag loading to maintain its function via high repetitions within a short span of time, repeated for several sets… you train it to behave more like a slow-twitch (type 1) fiber.
2. Type 1 fibers have a higher mitochondrial density than type 2 thus they are more fuel efficient. Simply put, they burn fat for energy better than the type 2 fibers.
3. Type 2 fibers are usually more explosive and have a thicker diameter… they are bigger fibers. When they begin adopting the behavior of type 1 fibers by gradually increasing their mitochondrial density they ultimately become even BIGGER in size as well a better at burning fat for energy.
4. We call these newly formed, mitochondrial infused type 2 fibers… Type 3 Muscle Fibers.
5. Type 3 Muscle Fibers are BIGGER, STRONGER, and more fuel efficient (burn more fat) than the speedy yet sluggish Type 2 fibers. Type 3 fibers are also more explosive and have greater athletic capacity than the slow and steady Type 1 fibers.
Here is a challenge that I invite you to try this week.
Instead of your normal back and biceps training routine followed by cardio… create a 100 pound sand bag and load it onto a 54″ platform (or about the height of your chest) for as many reps as possible in 60 seconds. Repeat for 5-10 sets with no more than a 2 minute rest in between.
