Muscle Building Wave Theory

November 22, 2010

I’d like to expand on my “What we can learn from Ryan Reynolds” muscle building blog post and really explore the idea of “Wave Theory Muscle Building”.
Basically, the idea is as follows:
Very few of us can go all out all the time. Real life tends to get in the way of our workouts and muscle building. Things like job stress, money stress, lack of sleep, colds, flu’s, car accidents, all of this stuff will demand some of our time and energy.
Not only this, but as most of us have discovered, muscle growth doesn’t happen linearly.
It takes some time to ramp up, then it happens, then no matter how hard you push in the gym, it slows to a crawl…especially if you continue to follow the same workout routine or patterns.
Whether it’s satellite cell availability, some sort of downstream regulator in the mTOR pathway..what ever the case may be something slows […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
