As it turns out, getting stronger is quite simple: Create maximal tension and do it 3 times to fatigue. That's it. Sprinkle in some Leucine and some Vitamin C, and it's game time! This short video explains how to do it.
Total Tension (2:50)
Next Steps:
- If getting stronger is your goal:
- Practice Total Tension as much as possible during your exercises.
- Consume Leucine and Vitamin C:
- Leucine (2.6 g 2-3 times per day)
- First meal is most important and should be centered on protein.
- Helps feelings of fullness.
- Helps promote muscle growth with activity.
- 3-4 oz (30 g) animal protein, ground meat may work better.
- Whey Protein (dairy) will work if not sensitive.
- Vegan, look at protein breakdown for Leucine content.
- Vitamin C (~50 mg) is required for collagen synthesis.
- If you work out fasted, consume within 30-60 min after the workout.
- If you work out fed, ~1 hour before work out.
- Practice the movements with as much easeful effort as possible.
- Strain and Tension are important but not if it causes you to use your old habits.
