Wouldn’t it be great if we could build our strength without spending countless hours in the gym grinding away?
A new concept of strength training known as ‘Neuro-Mass training’ is making the rounds of the fitness industry with overwhelmingly positive results. The concept of this new style of training stems from the ‘time under tension’ philosophy. This states that the more time the muscle is spent under tension/strain, the greater the build of strength benefits.
To complete this training, there are 3 phases:
- Grinds:
Grinds are a set of a specific exercise where the ‘up’ and ‘down’ movements are completed super slow (5 seconds up, 5 seconds down) with no pausing. This allows the muscle to stay under tension for between 90-120 seconds. - The explosion:
Immediately after working to failure on the “grinds”, using the same muscle group, complete 4-6 repetitions of an explosive movement. - Isometric Hold:
Immediately after completing “The explosion”, perform a static hold for around 60 seconds working for the same muscle group.
That is all…
Repeat this on as many different muscle groups as you would like and watch your strength skyrocket!
