[QUOTE="Sean Reed, post: 66156, member: 15349"] Hi Chris, The system that I currently use enables me to load the muscles harder while at the same time putting less stress on the joints/tendons. You may want to consider giving it a try. If so I can post up a program for you. I have not laid out this training protocol yet but I will soon. I have mentioned that it is a no rest between sets system. First, you will want to get medical clearance because the program taxes your cardio system to the max. For example, I start with a giant set for my back. I go from rows to pull downs to pullovers with no rest between sets. I am huffing and puffing by this time. I usually finish this routine in 20 minutes. Drenched in sweat, and still huffing and puffing I make my way to the treadmill. 12 minutes on the treadmill and boom: 32 minutes of cardio AND a complete back/trap/rear delt workout. This training supercharges your body systemically so that it is processing calories like crazy. Your body will continue to burn through a ton of calories for the next 2-3 hours. The criticism of this training is that you must use lighter weight. Lighter weight should mean less muscle hypertrophy and less strength gains. To test this theory, every now and then I will do a regular basic 90 second rest between sets workout. What I found shocked me: I was stronger than I was 6 months ago...but how can this be? My theory is that the muscle does not know it is using lighter weight. It only knows that it is being taxed, and taxed hard. Of course a study of one is hardly scientific evidence. I can only say that this has happened in my case, and with people I have trained. As stated above, this workout taxes the muscles more with less weight. Less stress is on the joints/tendons, and more stress is put upon the muscle. [/QUOTE]
