Something Your Workout *Has* to Have…
Written by Wiggy on July 30, 2010 – 5:09 pm -The other day, I mentioned that my good buddy Andy Hepler from Hepler Strength & Conditioning here in North Carolina was putting himself through the final version of my muscle building programs, “Body Armor”.
Well, Andy called me the other day, and he was telling me that DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness – in other words, being sore a day or two *after* your workout) had been an absolute bitch w/this workout, and we were trying to figure out why.
Finally, we figured it out.
See, prior to going back to Body Armor (Andy had been a beta tester of some of the ‘rough draft’ versions of the program a while back), Andy had been on a workout that had him focusing pretty much just on a few basic exercises.
On the other hand, Body Armor is a complete, well-rounded workout that directly (and indirectly) targets every muscle group.
See, there are a lot of different programs out there (even some of the ones that I’ve designed) that focus on just a few exercises. And if you’re trying to maximize training economy – ‘bang for your buck’ – then that’s fine.
But if you want total development, then, well, you have to have a total workout.
Why was Andy getting sore (and I’ve experienced the same kinda thing before)? Because he was finally back to training certain musculature in a direct fashion that hadn’t been directly trained in quite a while. And if you’re not directly training something, then you’re not gonna get direct development (in strength, power, or muscular size).
It’s kinda like arm training. A lot of guys like to say if you want big triceps, then you should just press (bench, overhead press, dip, etc) heavy. And that’s true to a point. You can’t do any one of those exercises heavy w/o big & strong triceps.
But, just doing those exercises by themselves will never build your triceps (again, in strength, power, or size) to their full capacity as you could do if you were doing direct triceps work.
Well, take that concept, and apply it across your entire body.
That’s the great thing about Body Armor.
Body Armor is a program that trains you to not only be strong, powerful, and add muscular size, but trains your *entire* body…not just a few muscle groups.
If you wanna be strong…explosive…powerful…fast…and big…
…and you wanna be that way across the board…then check out Body Armor.
Have a kickass weekend.
Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard-
