Show Notes:
The 5x5 Lanore Protocol
[00:06:24] Our strength changes in 3 ways during a set of exercise:
- Every joint angle.
- From positive to negative.
- From start to finish.
- Jim goes on to explain the concept that ARX was designed around.
[00:09:51] Carl plays a brief video of how he does a shoulder workout on the ARX Alpha and goes on to elaborate on the workout.
[00:13:57] Jim shares his view on Carl’s 5x5 routine and talks about the adaptation triangle.
- Mechanical tension.
- Muscle damage.
- Metabolic stress.
[00:17:47] The end result of mechanical loading by stimulating fast twitch fibre recruitment and bone density, is tendon and ligament resilience.
[00:19:00] Jim explains how to address the issue of lower performance due to insignificant recovery. The stronger you get the more rest you need.
[00:21:41] A discussion on strength vs hypertrophy ensues.
[00:22:55] Jim shares his view on the “everything you’ve got” approach as opposed to the more paced approach.
[00:26:18] Carl tells a story about knowing when to lay off.
[00:27:55] Jim joins in on the conversation and expounds on the “seasons” or cycles of training.
[00:35:45] A listener (who trains on the ARX) posts: "Sometimes I improve on one workout and lose strength in another. It feels so random sometimes. Jim addresses the question.
[00:38:54] Carl shares and interesting experience and gives some sound advice – tune in!
[00:43:23] The discussion continues on to the subject of BFR bands and EMF devices.
[00:46:41] Jim explains myofibrillar hypertrophy vs sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.
[00:54:17] Carl asks Jim’s advice on a new strategy he has been following during ARX workouts. Jim replies eloquently with a detailed answer.
[00:57:15] Jim explains how to program the ARX to only do an eccentric workout.
[00:58:46] Follow the discussion on VO2 max and the effect the ARX and various other training methods have on it.
[01:00:39] Jim discusses new and exciting protocols on the ARX machine that are currently being experimented with.
