Muscle Training

Ori Hofmekler is a well-known fitness expert, former Penthouse columnist and no stranger to controversy. His ideas about training run so contradictory to most of what you see in the fitness magazines that most people either say, “the guy’s a fucking genius,” or “he’s a complete dumbass who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Love him or **** him, one thing that Ori got right is his concept about the development of super hybrid muscle. In fact, his Controlled Fatigue Training program is really one of the very first hybrid muscle training programs ever put together. Hybrid muscle training develops super hybrid muscles and developing super hybrid muscle is of course you know, the goal of the Lean Hybrid Muscle training program.

Lean Hybrid Muscle is inspired in part by ancient warrior cultures like the Spartans, the Gladiators, the Vikings and others. Ori’s concepts are also inspired by these warrior cultures. His interest arose from his formative military experiences, which prompted a life interest in survival science and the ways of the warriors. Ori began researching ancient cultures and based on what he learned, became convinced that ancient warrior cultures like the Spartans, the Gladiators and the Vikings were so successful because they had developed a great deal of super hybrid muscle.

Normal muscle fibers are generally either built for strength or endurance with not a lot crossover-at least not in modern man. Ancient warriors though, not only had great strength, but they had a hell of a lot of endurance too. They were like that because the way they trained forced them to develop super hybrid muscle, which is muscle that has essentially been reconfigured, adding mitochondrial density, resulting in a bigger stronger muscle with more endurance capacity.

Ori says that Controlled Fatigue Training builds super hybrid muscle by triggering our body’s survival factors. Survival factors are what keep us alive-there’s a lot of them but they include strength, power, speed and endurance. The survival factors are also what trigger the “fight or flight” response-meaning that you’re either ready to seriously kick some *** or you’re going to haul-ass for the hills with your tail between your legs. The ancient Spartans, Gladiators, Vikings and others, were able to choose “fight” not “flight” because they had developed super hybrid muscle. Their muscles were capable of generating and sustaining strength for extended periods.

Controlled Fatigue Training (CFT) seeks to mimic the same responses in our modern bodies and in the process, prompting the development of super hybrid muscle. Controlled Fatigue Training is built on a methodical combination of strength speed and endurance together-very much like the Lean Hybrid Muscle training program. But CFT isn’t just another training program-it’s tough. Really tough. So tough that I’d say that at least nine out ten guys who start training the CFT way, don’t have the balls to stick with it for more than a couple weeks-if that. CFT requires you to repeatedly shock your body by doing really intense exercises that incorporate strength, speed and velocity to maximize the body’s capacity to resist fatigue and stress.

According to Ori, “the core concept of controlled fatigue training is to gradually train the body to resist fatigue and sustain strength during a prolonged intense physical stress. That way one could handle higher volume of intense exercise and thereby be able to gain strength, speed, and velocity with an improved muscle/ fat composition.”

The overall CFT workouts incorporate three components: 1) pre-fatigue exercises; 2) core exercises; and 3) post-fatigue exercises. One example of a CFT exercise would be riding a stationary exercise bike on a high level (at least level 10 or above) at a fast pace while simultaneously doing alternating dumbbell raises. Or you might find yourself doing a series of rapid sprints while carry dumbbells and when finished, launching immediately into weighted walking lunges just before doing five sets of dead-lifts. The sets are performed sequentially, with little or no rest between sets. You can rest for no more than one minute between exercises.

So you can see the similarities between Controlled Fatigue Training and Lean Hybrid Muscle Training. Both programs have as a core concept, the idea that when it comes to weight training, if you want to see real results, then moderation is for *******. You’ve got to push yourself to your limits and beyond. The repeated intense, brutal onset of physical stress brought on by training programs like CFT and Lean Hybrid Muscle forces our bodies to adapt by increasing their capacity to utilize fuel and resist fatigue-switching the body into “survival mode.” Once these triggers have been activated, it stimulates a profound anabolic effect that enables us to survive in times of high physical stress or danger by increasing our strength, speed and velocity while maintaining optimum body composition ratios.

Fitness Workouts

You may have never heard of complexes before but instead of doing the same exercise for multiple reps to complete a set, you put together one rep of different exercises to complete a set is basically what complexes are. Training like this is great to work a extreme amount of musculature in a short period of time. This workout takes your intensity to a whole new level that you couldn’t even imagine. You’ll find yourself gasping for air and dripping with sweat just after two or three of repeating a set of complexes which is great for your conditioning.

Me I like to include 5 exercises in my complexes. I think more than that I would forget what was next. If you think you can remember you can add 1 or 2 more. Here one Barbell workout that will definitely get you right.

EXTREME BARBELL COMPLEX

1. High pull the barbell from the floor
2. Bring the barbell back to your thighs, then perform a hang clean
3. Bring the barbell back to the floor, then perform a clean and jerk
4. Bring the barbell back to your thighs, bend over, then bend over row
5. Bring barbell back to thighs and perform a Romanian dead lift.

The key is to use weight that you can still handle on your weakest lift of the exercise but use enough were you can still challenge yourself. Do this complex 2 or 3 times with no rest in between and that will count as 1 set. To challenge yourself even more you can add 1 or 2 more times you repeat the exercises within a set every week or every other week, or you can add more sets to the workout before you increase the amount of weight on your barbell. Say you completed the complexes 3 times in one set with 135 lbs for 3 set, next time do the complexes 3 times a set for 4 sets and so on and so fourth. Then next week add maybe 5 or 10 pounds and go back down to 3 sets and build back up.

Working out with Kettle bells is also great for you. I recommend just sticking to one kettle bell exercises for right now. This is a great complex to add to your routine maybe once or twice a week.

EXTREME KETTLEBELL COMPLEX

1. Do one arm kettlebell swing
2. Do one arm kettlebell snatch
3. Do one arm kettlebell overhead squat
4. Bring the kettlebell back down to the bottom, then one arm kettlbell high pull
5. Bring the kettlebell back down to the bottom, then do one arm kettlebell clean and press

Just use the same workout plan I gave you for the barbell complexes. Do everything the same way as the barbell complexes. just do the one arm exercises with both arms.

Just do a different complex every other day. like Monday is barbell complex day and Tuesday is kettlebell complex day and just go on from there until Friday. Maybe for the weekend you can do sprints on Saturday and rest on Sunday and start it all back up on Monday

Muscle Strength

What are the advantages of strength training in the muscle sculpting exercises? Do you know that strength training is one of the exercises that you must include in your body building workouts otherwise you will be incomplete without it? Miss it and you will never achieve a stunning physique and your goal will be left unfulfilled. Why is this necessary? I implore you to find out.

Do you know that among the many benefits of strength training is its ability to reduce health risks, provide sound health condition, staying power, and sculpt your muscles adequately. When you consider strength training it will be a good thing to visit your doctor and find out your health condition before you start any form of workouts. This visit will open your eyes and also help you to set achievable goals within some time span.

Strength training involves the ability of the muscles to interact with heavy weights. In other words, you will need some form of weight lifting. Before this activity can be started you want to first initiate stretches and warm ups. This process relaxes and loosens the muscles’ stiffness.

When the stretches and warmups are concluded, you will start with weight lifting. You want to make sure that the weights on the two arms are exactly equal in masses to avoid deficiency in your exercises. This is so if you are trying to build the muscles in your arms. As you continue, take deeper breaths as you allow the discomfort in your body to settle. Once the exercise is over allow time for your muscles to assimilate the new development. Usually 48 hours is recommended for maximum results. Once you are done end the exercises with stretches and cool downs.

It is never advised you take any other liquid apart from water at this time. One other thing you have to know is this, before you start any exercise you will either have eaten an hour earlier or forget about eating. When you are done, allow at least one hour before eating, this is to allow your system to function well. If you want to take any other liquid apart from water such as beverage, allow one and half or two hours to pass by before taking it.
Drinking of water at the time you exercise allows your digestive system to work well.

Now, never undermine the value of strength training because it will allow the following for you:
Promote flexibility
Reduce the risks of injuries or back pains
Promote flexibility
Poise the muscles

Once you have realised this, it is important that you fully absorb yourself in this exercise. Additionally, you may consider cardio workouts, this will give the body strength and restore the body’s curves. It can tone the muscles, burn the excessive body fats and cholesterols. Thus reducing health risks such as cardiac arrest, strokes, diabetes, and so on.

In all you can blend cardio workouts + strength training + endurance training to achieve a speedy results. This is because endurance training gives staying power that allows you to successfully and patiently conclude your exercises to reach a physique that is perfectly sculpted.

Building Muscle Mass

**H** asked:


I tend to isolate two muscle groups per training session. What other muscle should I train when I work my abs?

Also, is it better to work your abs at the start, middle or end of an intense workout?

Muscle Strength

iloveyou! asked:


what is the difference between training to build muscle size and training to build muscle endurance?

Muscle Increase

1) Nobody “messes” with super-mom. 2) Same as before. 3) Same as before

OK… I’m kidding here… but the purpose of this article is to show you (MOM) that muscle training SHOULD be the foundation of your fat loss efforts.

Fat loss myth #1) believing that cardio is the ONLY way to burn body fat. Well… that simply isn’t true and I will tell you why…

It takes too much time and still doesn’t really increase your metabolism. Cardio training is very inefficient when it comes to burning body fat.

Fat loss myth #2) Muscle training is going to turn Mom into a Mrs. Android Schwarzenegger… all hard and bulked up… BZZZZ! Wrong!

Unless you are taking illegal (and definitely not recommended) steroids and hormones… women cannot “bulk up.” Guys can add lots of muscles because they have the natural hormones and willingness to eat A LOT of food (up to 5,000 calories a day) to grow muscles.

But that isn’t what you are doing. So don’t worry about it… you won’t bulk up!

Fat loss myth #3) Muscle training is too hard! You need to change your way of thinking here. Sure, there are different weights, different machines and different motions. But it is part of the challenge to lose body fat effectively.

However, I do have a suggestion when you first start out… forego all the free weights for now and just use your own bodyweight. You can actually do most of the bodyweight exercises that utilizes major muscles groups in the privacy of your own home! No need to drive to the gym and save money on memberships.

You can do uncomplicated bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges and knee pushups. And starting out this way will give you loads of confidence to continue and motivate yourself to keep challenging your body to burn body fat.

You can later move onto dumbbells and a stability ball for tougher workouts.

In conclusion… muscle training increases your metabolism much, much better than the ol’ cardio training does. You won’t bulk up like one of those East German Swimmers back in the 60s. And start off what you CAN do and progress from there…
