Although High Intensity training offers the soundest gym-tested advice in the realm of the fitness industry, what cannot be overstated is the fact that this can become just another useless methodology if the greatest amount of stress is not properly transferred to the muscle receiving the workout.  Barbell curls is one such movement that has become the epitome of bad form.  In an attempt to feel strong or powerful, many will swing this weight up and down like a bad ballroom dancer.

When we use momentum to our advantage, we are unwittingly using a physiological maneuver to alleviate the str...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/two_rules_for_effective_biceps_development/2010-04-06-47 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/two_rules_for_effective_biceps_development/2010-04-06-47 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:28:30 GMT All Natural Cure for Ear Infections


    I thought I would share a very encouraging discovery with everyone.  It is an all natural remedy for ear infections.  I know this doesn’t pertain to High Intensity Training but the subject of health is what we’re seeking. 

    Several weeks ago, I woke up with a severe aching in my ear at about 2:00 in the morning.  I took two ibuprofin to calm it down but the pain did not go away.  I wound up taking...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/all_natural_cure_for_ear_infections/2010-02-04-44 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/all_natural_cure_for_ear_infections/2010-02-04-44 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:52:42 GMT Cardio Conditioning with High Intensity Training

The following is a point by point analysis of glucose as it is broken down in digestion, enters the cytosol cell and how High Intensity Training manipulates this process by a reduction in rest time.

1. Energy enters into the Cytosol (liquid portion of cell) in the form of glucose from carbohydrates.

2. Energy is metabolized anaerobically (without air) through a series of approximately 20 chemical reactions until it becomes a chemical known as pyruvate.  This is an exampl...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/cardio_conditioning_with_high_intensity_training/2010-02-04-42 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/cardio_conditioning_with_high_intensity_training/2010-02-04-42 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:40:06 GMT High Intensity Training Can Work for Anyone

    In September of 2007, Paul Rogers, of about.com, wrote an article entitled, "High-Intensity Weight Training (HIT) Can HIT Work for Anyone? In this piece, he erroneously ascribes to HIT Training a number of misinformed statements that reflect either an inept gathering of proper information or a profoundly rigid stance with most of the fitness industry or both. 

    One such statement is the following, "If you reach complete failure at the last repetition of just one set, further sets may not be required. I take this to mean genuine failure at which point you are completely unable to move the weight to the desired position with good form --even with the most focused effort.” I’m not sure where he received this information in reference to "g...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/high_intensity_training_can_work_for_anyone/2010-02-04-40 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/high_intensity_training_can_work_for_anyone/2010-02-04-40 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:13:26 GMT The Damaging Effects of Jogging as an "Aerobic" Activity

   If I were to ask, "What might be the quickest way to damage the health of your joints?” you would probably reply that a repetitive pounding would surely destroy them.  I would certainly agree considering the fact that the meniscus, the thin little disc that separates the upper thigh from the lower leg, would have been made much thicker if our knees were designed to absorb this sort of punishment.  Our hips would have also been given much greater protection in the sockets.  This, however, is not the case.

    It would almost seem justified on the level of conspiracy that the continual misfeeding of information that supports the health benefits of running are intertwined with the joint replacement industry; an unholy alliance of the unhe...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/the_damaging_effects_of_jogging_as_an_quotaerobicquot_activity/2010-02-04-34 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/the_damaging_effects_of_jogging_as_an_quotaerobicquot_activity/2010-02-04-34 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:43:42 GMT The Modus Operandi of Muscle Tissue

    Muscle tissue requires far less application than most would believe to be true, giving credence to the statement: truth is stranger than fiction. This resultant conviction to weight training hinders most in achieving their goals by adhering to the burdensome pattern of conventional weight lifting.  Its cause stems largely from a lack of understanding regarding the function of the muscle.  What is understood is that the muscle must be subjected to an ever-increasing burden of weight to produce growth.  What is misunderstood is how and why?

    Tony Horton, developer of the P90X work out system describes a "revolutionary system of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days.”  The infomercials display a flock of shapely models from guys to gals performing a multitude of exercises under radiant lighting conditions and a fabulous gym background but is it everything it claims to be?

            The universal problem with the health/fitness industry is a deplorable lack of understanding the scientific basics of building a muscle.  Every exercise should have a goal that it is attempting to reach; however, much of what is taught is bogged down in a quagmire of ludicrous methodology.

            It is a well-accepted assumption that women and weight lifting do not mix.  They seek high repetition exercises in favor of the lower repetition variety to "sculpt” and "shape” for fear that they will look too "bulky”, like female bodybuilders.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  First, le...]]> http://hittraining101.com/blog/debunking_the_myth_of_women_and_weight_lifting/2009-10-31-16 High Intensity Training 101 Ironman http://hittraining101.com/blog/debunking_the_myth_of_women_and_weight_lifting/2009-10-31-16 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:32:58 GMT
