♦ Research and Support for Hardgainer Solution 2.0 ♦
--------------------------------------------------------
A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology in 2017 found that training to failure slows down recovery, supporting the key tenet of recovery emphasized in Hardgainer Solution 2.0.
♦♦ Train like you have something to accomplish, not something to prove. ♦♦
• The study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology Dec 2017, demonstrated that training to failure slows recovery.
• The hardgainer trainee shouldn’t train to failure at any time, even for one set.
• Following a routine used by a pro (who may be on PEDs) leads to overtraining and overuse syndromes.
• The true hardgainer has a very specific dilemma of balancing adequate stimulus and recovery for optimum adoptive response.
• The study looked at three different resistance training protocols using the bench press and squat. It showed that training to failure slows recovery 24 to 48 hours post-exercise.
• Not training to failure enables the trainee to train again sooner.
• The hardgainer is already susceptible to overtraining, so avoiding it is critical.
• Leave the gym feeling invigorated, not exhausted.
• HGS 2.0 is the result of feedback from hundreds who wrote and commented on the original HGS, along with Scott’s own biofeedback and that of his clients. It focuses a bit more on recovery than did the original [although the original did as well…just not to the same degree.]
• HGS 2.0 provides enough stimulus to engage adoptive response without tapping into ability to recover.
• Whole body training based on innervation methodology with emphasis on inter and intra-workout recovery makes the most sense for the hardgainer trainee.
• Scott: Compound exercises tax recovery more than do single joint exercises.
