Rich_2k3 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think its better to have a target amount when doing my calsinthetics, that way I have to reach it no matter what. Working to failure doesnt really mean on a physically level but on a mental level, its all about willpower and if u can push it that little bit more, if ur tired or not in the mood, ur reps will greatly reduce because u simply cant be bothered.

DokterVet Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Interesting read. It's defnitily right about the running...there's a lot of evidence in support of high intensity interval training for all sorts of purposes. Surprised not to see squats in the split though. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 It's defnitily right about the running...there's a lot of evidence in support of high intensity interval training for all sorts of purposes. Interval training yes, but I don't consider the following quote to be interval training and I would suggest that the "evidence" that you refer to is not conducted this crudely. Distance is the key. Three miles not less, you do not need more. When you run, you should run as hard as you can until you can't. Then walk. Interval training in running is calculated, measured, and takes into consideration working your cardio at an accelerated rate. Running until you can't doesn't quite fit the bill. For a good description of how to run for a variety of reasons go to: http://www.runnersworld.com/home/0,1300,1-51,FF.html Here's another link for an interval workout for boxing: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ss11.htm I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

DokterVet Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 "...training to muscular failure (concentrically, eccentrically or isometrically) is NOT the necessary stimulus for growth" "failure effort may prove to be an 'unreasonable' burden on the nervous (both central and peripheral) and signaling systems (primarily the T system). Time must then be given for the recovery and supercompensation processes to take place." (source: http://www.engr.mun.ca/~butt/training/failure.html) However, this is mostly referring to failure with heavy weight lifting (with the goal of hypertrophy). Heavy weights are more taxing on the nervous system, however, so it (failure) may very well be effective for endourance. If anyone has a link to a study regarding the effects of failure on endourance, I'd be interested to see it. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
