Negative Emphasis Training Continued: The Tricep Videos

Jay Campbell — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:35:42 +0000

TMC continuing our discussion on Negative Emphasis Training.

We hit Back and Biceps today and our bodies are literally “TOW UP”…..;)

Honestly if you perform this type of training correctly, (maximally contracting fibers and keeping your form perfect and cadence tight) you should be able to dramatically effect aesthetic change in a limited amount of time.

I think you’ll see this in both of us over the course of the next couple of months.

Here is a video of us along with Michael Cernovich training triceps @LVAC on Monday evening.

Notice the mad love and respect “shouting out” to Drew Baye. (TMC love)

If you’re looking for a new methodology or just an intensity increasing technique/tweak to your current training style, start employing this pronto and good things will happen.

<TMC NOTE>Since we just started employing Negative Emphasis Training “regularly”, we can’t give an honest assessment of how often you can utilize this training in the course of a normal month. In our limited conversation with Drew Baye about frequency, he mentioned he’s able to train twice a week without any issue. Since we train 3x every 7 days it might become an issue for us.

We’ll definitely let you know as soon as we do our recommendation with regard to how often you can train in this fashion. Just using the eyeball and feel your body test, we’d say you can probably go about two weeks in a row @3 sessions every 7 days before having to cut back and return to a more normalized training protocol. But we’ll have a detailed post in the future giving finite data.

TMC and Markus Reinhardt: The HIT Chest and Triceps Training Videos

Jay Campbell — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:56:56 +0000

As promised, TMC is dropping our newly edited HIT Chest and Triceps Training videos. (Day 1 of Our 4 Day A Week Program)

We’re pretty confident the video’s do enough talking.

For those of you contemplating doing HIT, we’re offering a Primer on what to pay particular attention to in all our videos.

The Cadence of our Sets. A “Normal HIT Rep” is incredibly controlled and smooth with a 4 second lowering phase(eccentric) with a 1.5 to 2′ second up(concentric). Markus varies the parameters usually from session to session. Some of the intensity principles he’ll add include, Static Holds, Negatives, Partial Reps, Assisted Reps, Forced Reps and Isometric Contractions. (We will have a Blog discussing and showing all of these principles in full detail within the next 3 weeks. Understanding and applying these kind of variables can make a dramatic difference in your physique)

Contracting the Muscle Fibers. Listen to Markus in the videos as he coaches us. He’ll say things like “Stop swinging, gripping, or using momentum, slow down, breathe”. What he means by this, is as your mind starts to tell your body to stop, your concentration can lessen and momentum/adrenaline/fear can overtake your targeted muscles from contracting as intended. As we stated previously, the focus required to continue is ENORMOUS and must be learned. Once you can do this and make every repetition contract the intended muscle fibers hard for 2′, the changes to your physique become shocking.

Markus spotting us at the right point in the movement. As we’ve already stated, having a Master HIT Trainer to help, coach, inspire and demonstrate is INVALUABLE! To those of you who can’t find one proximal to your location, the next best thing is a training partner also committed to getting the most out of HIT. As much as we’d like to say HIT Training can be productive with one person focused like a “Yogi Walking on Hot Coals”, it’s unlikely you can do everything necessary to maximize the full technique arsenal of an HIT protocol without assistance. Can HIT Training still be productive solo? ABSOLUTELY! It will require some modifications and hopefully some tutelage with an HIT Master Trainer when starting out.

The focus and will to continue and finish the set. This is the hardest thing about HIT Training. As Markus is fond of saying, “C’mon, you only get this one set, you need to, you have to, MAKE IT COUNT” Even the most focused and calm can become distracted. In commercial gym settings this is very commonplace. When training in HIT Fashion, many people will stop what they are doing to watch you- wondering what the hell is going on. You have to be able to ignore everything but your task at hand. This is much easier said than done. You will see in many of these videos, our mind forcing us to give up before our target muscle has actually reached failure. When you see physical gyrations, or extreme facial contortions, and Markus saying “keep going” or “Hardcore, you can do it”, “one more-focus” “you only have one set” etc and then we stop the set, you know our brain melted down before our targeted muscle did.

TMC Current Workout Updated-Rest Pause Training Videos

Jay Campbell — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:44:17 +0000

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!

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-

TMC’s Updated “Current Workout”!

Jay Campbell — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:04:41 +0000

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:
