Podcast 1 Episode 2 How to train over 50 Podcast using Science #motivation #afterage60 #podcast

If I do 15 reps with a lighter weight and then I hold it, I do another five, I'm getting the exact stimulation as if I'm doing four or five sets. as far as the arpertrophy goes uh it's there's a direct correlation because not only do I take for instance uh those exercises I don't randomly select the exercises are done using an EMG device right so we pre-ested with EMG electromyioraph and which are little electrodes that are on the muscle so if you're training legs what exercise actually stimulates uh the legs the most right so it's just electro feedback back on the legs, how is the muscle being stimulated? So, for instance, like when we do um incline bench, right? We're doing chest. Let's take chest for instance. We're doing incline chest. So, if you just pump out a straight set of 10, — you really your net benefit of that is is not necessarily hypertrophy, you know, because you have to sort of almost go to a little bit of failure. There has to be a little muscle breakdown in order for hypertrophy to happen. So the hypertrophy, the way that we approach it, the way that B40 Body Labs approaches it is we use the EMG basically that you know the science behind EMG. So if I do 15 reps with a lighter weight and then I hold it, I do another five, I'm getting the exact stimulation as if I'm doing four or five sets of 10 to 12 with heavier weights. M. So, it's the exact same outcome, — but at the same time, because it's a lower weight, you're preserving your joints. You're not create creating this super stimulus in your muscle that completely destroys you, and you're able to survive to the next workout. Again, not working out like a 22-year-old bodybuilder, right? So, that's the big part.
