The Muscle Couple with HIT video #2!

You gotta love weighted negative chins.

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions about anything you see in the videos.

We’d also request you listen to Markus coaching us during our sets.  He is giving out incredible information and there are plenty of tips to be gleaned.

Enjoy!

The Muscle Couple has been promising to get some videos of our New Rest Pause Training Program uploaded to the site.

Finally they’re here!

They are very random and in no particular order.

A couple of things to pay attention to when trying to understand and assess the intensity.

• Notice the Cadence of the Eccentric(Downward movement)and Concentric(Upward movement)
• Reps aren’t “perfect” but are slow and trying to maintain proper form and control
• Rest intervals try to be maintained between 10 and 15′-sometimes it’s too grueling and we’ll space out to 20′
• The intensity being applied ‘most of the time’ is every rest Pause Set should be performed til full muscular failure(not one more rep can be achieved without assistance from a spotter or cheating)

Many people have been requesting some video’s of our current Rest Pause Training Program.

As requested, here are 4 recently made ones.

Stand by for the first week update from Anh with pictures.

There appears to be a noticeable difference after only 7 days of cardio and dietary restriction.  She won’t begin weight training for another week.

MIHWCS

The Muscle Couple has finally gotten around to updating our Current Workout with Video of the Rest Pause sets.

We even have a couple of videos of the 7 Month Pregnant Anhski working hard.

Please check it out when you have a moment.

We believe this type of training will produce dramatic results for any population group.

It’s not a program for a beginner or novice weight trainer.

Anyone who has more than a year of weight training experience under their belt can derive great benefit from Rest Pause training.

We will probably use this form of training for the next year only changing the exercises about every 8-12 weeks.  It’s that good.

Feel free to ask questions on the blog about tailoring it for your lifestyle.

Enjoy!

The Muscle Couple has been working for weeks trying to update the Exercise Video Library!

It continues to be a work in progress but it’s looking much better.   Please check it out when you are looking for some new exercises to add to your routine.

There are also a bunch of videos utilizing FAT GRIPZ. We recommend them highly for superior arm development and injury prevention.

There are not as many Videos of Anh as we’d like but it’s tough being 5 Months Preggo!   Zod Bless her for keeping up still!

Speaking of Anh-

We’ll be detailing a Brand  New Blog Section on her last 3.5 Months discussing:

• Pregnancy Nutrition(2nd and 3rd Trimester)
• Training(Do’s and Don’ts)
• Her Feedback and Commentary on a weekly basis

Look for it soon!

We hope everyone has a tremendous weekend!

We’re heading to Venice Beach to let The Muscle B go wild!

Hey Gang!

We just changed our current workout in the last week and have updated the site to reflect it.

As a go forward, we’ll actually leave a blog post every time we change it, so we can catalog all of these different workouts for the future.

You can really do any number of sets/reps for these programs.  You can also add intensity extending techniques like “Giant Sets-Drop Sets- Rest Pause etc”.  We’ll have a blog post soon about how to best utilize these techniques. A few of the exercises lack videos.  We’ll be updating throughout the course of the week to make sure everything is here.

We hope you find these demonstrations useful and tell your friends and exercise buddies to check them out for insight into good form and technique.

Here you go:

Hey Gang!

Check out our newly refreshed site!  We are now branding “TMC” in our right side Nav Bars.  What do you think?

We also tweaked the Main Nav Bar and added a highly requested and hopefully soon to be popular section:

EXERCISE VIDEOS

The goal of this section is to eventually catalog 100′s of different exercises for each bodypart.  They will be clear-concise and controlled to give everybody from advanced all the way to newbie trainers a solid video perspective of proper form and technique when executing each lift.

As always we encourage your support and feedback.  As the section evolves,  please don’t hesitate to request different or missing exercises for us to record and add to the library.

We are hopeful to add a number of additional exercises to the section by the end of the weekend.

This should allow for some serious cross branding  from our Youtube subscribers and visitors:
