Eric Troy recently sent out this newsletter with a free eBook in it regarding Strength vs. Hypertrophy training.
I think it is a terrific eBook. It has so much information made so easy to read.
I've made a few short notes on the article. I think you guys should read this for yourself because it will explain things much better. These points may seem like a bit jumbled, but I assure you that Eric is very coherent.
- A critical look at Wilkins' article called "The Death of Modern Bodybuilding".
- How all these "strength gurus" are packaging strength related information to better appeal to a more bodybuilding-oriented audience while diluting the training effect of both practices.
- What strength training? Force Production? What is force production? You'll have to read the article for this
- "Tissue Leverage" is an old bodybuilding concept being renamed to appeal to this new market of modern strength trainee. It is also a bunch of BS.
- Why GPP is so damn effective and why it is not a new phenomenon.
- How does explosive strength factor into maximum Force Production?
- An indepth look at three major factors which play a critical role in maximum strength production: neural components, the force velocity relationship and average intensity.
- How much of your training is near maximal-end of the lifting spectrum? Are you really lifting heavy weights or are you afraid to do so?
- How does emotional anxiety factor into maximum force production and performance?
- Why it is easier to give out massing advice than giving out strength training advice.
Guys, really...this is all free and discussed in-depth by Eric.
Have a look for yourselves...
