Het begin van part II:
People need to understand the autoregulatory process or what's sometimes called cybernetic periodization. Basically, they need to understand how to train themselves. When that happens and they finally figure it out, they no longer need to use someone else's program. That's the breakthrough factor.
They can look at the program and try to understand the method behind it and what can be used from it, but they're not going to look at the program and say, "Oh wow, that's just what I've been looking for!" The people who are doing that, they suck! They haven't figured out how to autoregulate their training.
Let's say two lifters are using the exact same workout. We'll use a max effort day with board presses listed first. The beginner, the guy who hasn't made the breakthrough, will do the workout as listed.
Compare that to the guy who's made the breakthrough. He may be thinking, "I don't even feel like doing ****ing board presses. Board presses suck!" But he does a set and sure enough it's just not clicking. It doesn't feel right. If he keeps following the program he might be looking at actually hurting himself.
He decides that he's going to do close-grip incline presses. He hasn't done them in a long time and he really wants to knock them out. So when he hits the close-grip inclines, he's going to hit them with focus and concentration. He's going to get more out of that movement because it's what his body is actually telling him to do.
Later he may decide to do two sets where the program calls for four. Or maybe the program calls for extensions. The guy who hasn't made the breakthrough will follow the program, even if extensions are hurting his elbows. The smart lifter says, "My elbows are killing me. **** it, I'm just going to do some pushdowns."
Het is gewoon madness om je helemaal vast te klampen aan een van tevoren vastgelegd 'schema'. Ik weet dat ik mijn squat hoger wil hebben maar als op een dag de full squat niet lekker loopt kan ik een dagje wide stance gaan squaten. Of als ik een beetje onvoldaan ben m'n hamstrings knallen en een andere oefening een keertje overslaan.
Ik blijf full-body trainen en bepaalde oefeningen bepalen mijn training min of meer (maandag is zware squatdag, vrijdag deadliften) maar voor de rest wil ik meer gaan freestylen. Vooral qua sets, reps etc.
