Glad it helped.Guarden,...No problem, Royce and Tim. Glad it helped.<BR/><BR/>Guarden, another great question, and yes, you answered it yourself, IMO. Yes, when you've got the groove down, focus on brining up WC with assistance. SAID is really interpreted as you always get exactly what you train for. But, is for motor patterns only? No, the same holds true for motor qualities (speed, speed-strength, etc) and joint angles. That's why the type of assistance work can either help you or hinder you. Make sense?<BR/><BR/>And, Kevin, where do I start? Just think of it as "loading"--a nebulous term, whatever that my be, that contributes to CNS burnout. Really, loading is just a form of stress. So when the body can no longer handle the negative stressors of life, including training, that's when the burnout occurs. That's why recovery is so important. What's a good stress and what's a bad stress? Well that's dependent upon the individual and the place in life in which they find themselves. For example, when we first started with Z, it was a negative stressor to a degree. We both felt exhausted and didn't/couldn't perform regular training. Now, at least for me most of the time, Z is a recovery tool. It is a positive stressor. The same is true for ALL training: what was once enough load to promote adaptation (short term negative stressor) is eventually used for a warm-up and/or a recovery tool (short term positive stressor). That I think encapsulates Seyle's GAS theory...I think...Geoff Neuperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429352189298183355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24102082.post-26995000060173439362007-07-24T06:16:00.000-05:002007-07-24T06:16:00.000-05:00is it the overall tonus of the body's muscles that...is it the overall tonus of the body's muscles that contributes to the CNS burnout, i.e. you focus so much on tension during the lift(s) that the body maintains that tension when unloaded? or is it the CNS burnout from maintaining focus for the 'short' period of time while lifting. If its the former I'd think position specific rphase would decrease this the most but if its the latter then the use of active recovery using djm would help more. Or could it be another factor, at the RKC2 Kenneth Jay made a point of saying it's your aerobic ability that determines your recover during rest periods (IIRC). I know mobility or relaxation drills between exercise sets or even reps is nothing new but does do you think it affects one path more than another or is an individual more affected by one or the other. It would seem that relaxation drills are more muscle and position specific would be joint, or Kenneth's point of it being metabolic. The nervous system may rule but nothing in the body works totally as a one way street. Hopefully that's not too much rambling. oh and my blog is accidentperrone.blogspot.com.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017265994325403448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24102082.post-67054595239825601222007-07-24T06:12:00.000-05:002007-07-24T06:12:00.000-05:00Thanks a lot for your thorough answer Geoff, I app...Thanks a lot for your thorough answer Geoff, I appreciate that!<BR/><BR/>How do you differ this from the SAID principle? I mean you have to bench a lot to groove those patterns. Am I totally of the road if I spend a lot of time when learning a new exercise for instance the deadlift, by doing a lot of deadlifts to groove the motorpatern and increase workkapacity, and then when the right pattern is there I rely more focus in assistance exercises to keep the overall workkapacity up, and only train the main exercises when all set?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your time :-D<BR/><BR/>/JacobGuardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504926362286488709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24102082.post-68005888110264165472007-07-24T05:42:00.000-05:002007-07-24T05:42:00.000-05:00Great information.
