This plan uses a High/ Low Threshold system.
Each workout begins with a relatively heavy exercise to work the high threshold fibers and prime the nervous system. This allows the type II fast-twitch fibers to receive adequate stimulation before we move on to the lower threshold fibers.
Lower threshold fibers are slower, faster recovering fibers that must be taxed with extended sets and finishers. Simply using high reps to work the low threshold fibers would not adequately simulate the high threshold and medium threshold fibers given that the resistance is too light.
In this program, we’ll use a 8/8/15 rep scheme to ensure that we exhaust the higher and lower threshold fibers.
By exhausting the muscle in the 3 segments of a tri-set, we can exhaust a greater range of muscle fibers and create a very large lactic/growth hormone response.
This type of training is very metabolically stressful so we will fluctuate the volumes up and down over the course of the program.
Be sure to alkalize after training during these workouts with electrolytes and plenty of greens during the rest of the day to aid in recovery from the high acidic tri-sets.
This will not be easy, time to put the work in brah!
