Arnold says, âYou have to Shock the Muscleâ
YHC saw something recently from Arnold talking about how the mind eventually can hijack the gains from a workout. The premise is that if we do things similarly over time, our mind will prepare the body to reduce the shock of the exercise. Therefore, you never expose weak points or get full gains from the same routine.
Even as Qâs, we can settle into certain patterns. SSH or GMâs come first. Ab exercises come last. Cadence counts to 10. Let the pax know whatâs coming. We donât just do BTTW or Peopleâs Chair with tiny breaks.. then do it again…and again…and again. Todayâs workout had the goal of having pax be unprepared for what might come, thereby having them realize some more gains (hopefully).
