16-Minute Training 4.0: Death by TRX

Cycle through following movements, :30 per movement, for 16 minutes straight. Then chop down a tree with your bare hands (be sure to plant some seeds near where you chop down the tree with your hands. It's good for the planet).

THE GODFATHER OF PERIODIZATION ON FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH TRAINING

Tudor Bompa invented the concept of periodized training. Here's what he said in a 2007 interview regarding the delusion that hypertrophy=strength:

I highly recommend reading the entire interview here:

"Hypertrophy is necessary only in very few sports, such as linebackers in football, shot putters in track and field, the super heavy-weight category in wrestling, or if an individual is far too slim. In such a case, the periodization of strength has to include three to six, or even nine weeks of training for hypertrophy. For any other athletes, bodybuilding methods are completely useless!
Sports do not require mass! Sports require power, quickness, and fast application of force. Bodybuilding methods do not result in increasing power. On the contrary, bodybuilding methods make the athletes much slower. And this is a no-no in most of the sports that require quickness and acceleration in force application."

Amen.

Live Alive.
