| Description: |
Deepen your knowledge of ‘thorough inroad’ and ‘the real objective of exercise’. Enhance your skill with thorough inroad technique. Throughout the class discussion, we will consistently link what you have learned, and/or deepened what you already knew, to practical examples in your own SuperSlow workout, workouts for you clients and/or relevant discussions in your work about this topic in business.
|
| Purpose: |
Designed as a highly interactive course, students will maximize their skills development. The teacher will use a variety of teaching options to guide the students through the chapter topics focusing on
1) accurate and thorough understanding of the topic 2) advancing the students knowledge by having the student relate the topic to their real world of SuperSlow strength training and business.
The students will enjoy an innovative approach to creating teach-back presentations. If you have had the pleasure of participating in the teach-back structure in another class, then you know how important this approach is to building your real world skill to talk with clients about this subject matter. Additionally, by listening to your peers deliver their teach back presentations, you have an even richer resource to use with your own clients.

| Outcomes: |
C. Expected Outcomes – at course completion, the
student will:
1. Deepen your knowledge of, and enhance your

7. Increase your skill to speak effectively about 1)
standard 2/4 with pre-stretch 2) negative only &
related protocols 3) infimetrics 4) one-minute, 30
second, and similar protocols 5) hyper

| Topics: |
D. Topics
In addition to the student teach-back presentations, the teacher will use a variety of teaching methods to guide the students through the following topics focusing on 1) accurate and thorough understanding of the topic 2) advancing the students knowledge by having the student relate the topic to their real world of SuperSlow strength training and business.
To review and deepen your understanding of, and communicating about, the following distinctions and principles:
1. Thorough inroad, momentary muscular failure,
failure or momentary failure, and muscular failure
a. What does ‘thorough inroad’ and ‘inroad’ mean;
b. What does “momentary muscular failure”
or “failure” or “momentary failure” or
“muscular failure” mean in the SuperSlow
philosophy, why were these distinctions
invented for our use and what
disipline/profession is the origin of
some of these distinctions.
c. The terms ‘momentary fatigue and fatigue’ are
or are not accurate distinctions in describing
what is occurring with a subject/client when
inroading?
d. How do you recognize when your client has
reached momentary muscular failure? What do you
do next?
2. The Ideal Inroad:
a. Is it true or not that almost anything that
effects some degree of muscular
loading will promote some strengthening in
some people? What two criticaldistinctions
does this NOT fulfill that the SuperSlow
protocol does?
b. ‘Inroad’ is the sought stimulus for what?
c. Attempting to define ‘ideal inroad’, what are
the five factors that might be considered?
d. If the ‘ideal inroad’ is a moot point
and ‘thorough inroad’ is the real objective,
whatare three to four reasons clients might
stop an exercise prior to achieving an ‘ideal’
or maximum inroad’ and what can you do about
each of these when coaching a client?
3. Intensity vs Inroad:
Regarding ‘intensity,’ what can be the effects of
1) good isolation [good form] of the targeted
musculature 2) poor isolation [poor form] of
the targeted musculature
4. Inroad Principles
a. ‘Efficient inroad’ is a function of what two
fundamentals?
b. Growth stimulation’ is closely linked to what?
c. What does the body’s recovery system
tolerate less of as inroad deepens?
d. Fill in the blanks: We desire
_______________ ____________ in
______________ _________ with___________
_______________ for ____________ sake.
e. What are the fundamentals of the SuperSlow
protocol that fulfill the requirements for
‘efficient inroad’.
f. Why are the following inefficient methods to
achieve a progressively deeper inroad:
1) standard 2/4 with pre-stretch 2) negative
only & related protocols 3) infimetrics
4)one-minute, 30 second, and similar protocols
5) hyper
5. Thorough Inroad Technique
a. Through visualization, an experienced
subject can create a mental picture of the
physical conditions they experience as
momentary muscular failure approaches.
b. PRIOR to commencing their exercise, do you
have your clients visualize the final
seconds of an exercise? Why might practicing
this BEFORE they exercise be essential to
them practicing it at the completion of an
exercise and how is it helpful in achieving
thorough inroad?
c. Define the following and their effect:
1) off/oning 2) off/oning with Valsalva
3) pre-stretch
d. Describe the set of conditions we are
trying to achieve by the muscle remaining
‘meaningfully loaded.’
e. What techniques or words of encouragement
do you use to help your clients achieve
thorough inroad?
6. More Explanation About Valsalva
a. Why should you suspect Valsalva is a subject
moans or groans or signs during an
exercise and what should you instruct them to
do and not do?
b. ‘The bottom line’ or real objective of exercise
is what?
7. More Notes on Pre-Stretch
a. What undesirable discrepancies does pre-
stretching promote?
b. Though increased muscular contraction intensity
does probably result with pre-stretch, what
proportion of the total event is it?
c. What habits is pre-stretch fraught with that
are inconsistent with SuperSlow and
producingthorough inroad?
8. Pre-Stretch, Leg Press & Buttocks Involvement
a. Why is the leg press far more productive
if you do NOT pre-stretch?
b. The leg press primarily works what muscles?
c. What are the difficult structures to get
at which possess the greatest overall
effect on the rest of the body?
d. In your own words, what precautions
actions) must be followed along with the
SuperSlow protocol to ensure that the
major hip musculature is meaningfully
loaded?
e. If you do what three things in the leg
press, the hip involvement is grossly
compromised?
9. More About Off/Oning:
a. What are the two types of friction and how
does it effect the musculature when it is
said to be ‘unloaded,’ ‘partially unloaded’
by ‘holding’ the movement arm?
b. Why was this statement made: “…you
appreciate the importance of uniformly
continuous contraction during the positive
phase of normal exercise. (Normal
refers to dynamic exercise that includes
both positive and negative work.)” Pg 35
c. What re the effect of ‘off/oning’ as it
relates to #2, above?
d. What are the three components you can detect
when a client is ‘off/oning?
e. Does the weight stack always go in reverse
when a client is off/oning? If not, what
are the factors involved with the lack of
the weight stack reversal?
10. The Immediate – Real – Objective In Exercise:
a. What is the real, primary objective of an
exercise?
b. What is the assumed objective of exercise?
c. How are the ‘real, primary objective’ and
the ‘assumed, secondary objective’ in
conflict?
d. Why, on an instinctual level, why do our
bodies not like fatigue?
e. What can be common reactions to fatigue or
inroad and therefore, what do you
need to teach clients, help them visualize
and continuously reinforce about the
objective [tip: primary and secondary
objectives] of exercise?
f. What are some of the common things you say
to assist clients with #5, above
either before, during or after a work out?
11. Convergence At Failure:
a. At the point of failure, a subject loses
__________ of ___________, and
therefore, sense of ___________.
b. The body’s feedback also convinces the
subject that he no longer has any
______________ .
c. Therefore, the subject’s challenge is to
________ __ _______ ___ __ _____,
_____ __ _____.
d. The correct mentality for the subject/client
is to _______ ___ _________
_________ _________ in a certain manner,
not the machine. The machine goes along for
the ride.
12. Recovery Factors
a. Describe the inter-relationship of
increasing the following recovery factors:
1) inroading and intensity 2) amount of
exercise 3) frequency of exercise
b. What must happen if you increase one factor?
c. What is the typical thought process or
response by your clients to this challenge:
“How can I perform as few exercises as
possible, working as hard as possible,
inroading as deeply as possible, and working
as infrequently as possible?”
13. Partial Repetitions
a. What are the three components of our SuperSlow
protocol/system that eliminate
the need for, and many cases rarely possible,
partial repetitions.
b. To ensure stimulation, complete fatigue
throughout ___________excursion is
desired – why?
c. The objective of the resistance curve is to
accommodate the body to what?
d. Explain the ‘thorough inroad
technique’. “Instead of performing partial
repetitions,until the movement becomes
