Cybergenics Leg Workout
« on: November 20, 2007, 02:38:43 PM »
Can anyone find a link or remember the cybergenics leg workout?  I remember performing this in college and experienced a substantial increase in leg strength and size for about 2 months.  The supplements were crap, but the workouts were killers.  Any help would be appreciated--thanks

Yeah there was a certain mystique around the old Cybergenics workouts; it was oddly enough the only supplement line that ever tried (to my knowledge) tying a workout routine to their supplement line with the inference being that you needed both for it to work.  

I'd like to see examples of some of these.  I remember people talking about just being able to hang with them.  When I was a teenager it seemed to me that Cybergenics was what all the juicers said they used in place of openly admitting steroid use, and by virtue of the fact that the juice they used made it possible for them to handle the routines, and the routines helped to "activate" the juice, I guess it made them better able to say convincingly that Cybergenics did indeed "work."  I don't know if it was my age then or the times, but NO ONE admitted to juicing back then, even the state champs.

load up a bar with a weight you can do 10 reps with and go until failure, strip off about 20% and go again and keep repeating until you're down to the bar, then do high jumps in place until you fail, then do bodywieght squats until you fail, then rest about 5 minutes and repeat again and then again....

look up BFT training by trevor smith cause it's kinda the same thing but cybergenics took it alot farther than trevor did if I remember right....it's just drop sets done to total and absolute failure.
nasser=piece of shit

Cybergenics Chest Workout
by Paul Becker

Cybergenics was the first to take into account all factors of training,
diet and supplements into a complete system. They have an an
intense--and I really mean intense--exercise program, that gives
some very formidable results in increasing strength, while building
lean muscle mass and burning off body fat. The method is very
hard work - but works fast, let me tell you how a friend of mine
busted through a couple of plateaus using the Cybergenics
Phase 1 chest routine. 

Here is the exact workout he used.

Cybergenics Phase 1 Chest Workout

2 sets warm-up Bench Press 35% max 15 - 18 reps

Cycle #1C (Do Not Rest Between Exercises)
Flyes 80% max to positive failure
Dumbell Bench Press same weight as flyes  to positive failure
Barbell Bench Press 50% max to positive and negitive failure
Flyes 40% max to positive failure
Dumbell Press same weight as flyes  to positive failure

Rest then repeat cycle 1 or 2 more times.

Cycle #2C (Do Not Rest Between Exercises)
Parallel Bar Dips no weight added to positive failure
Incline Bench Press 70% max to positive and negitive failure

Rest then repeat cycle 1 more time.

Rest between cycles is only 1 minute, or as long as it take you
training partner to complete his cycle.

If your chest growth is lagging give this workout a try.

OPTIMIZING THE CYBERGENICS WORKOUT:
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. Every cycle must be brought to the point of total negative failure. At the end of each cycle your muscles should be fatigued to the point that completion of the movement without any added resistance is momentarily impossible or extremely difficult (depending on the movement).

2. There should be no rest whatsoever between each set of the cycle. You should only rest long enough between each cycle for your partner to complete his/her cycle. Keep rest time to an absolute minimum.

3. All training must be all-out, utilizing 100% effort. Concentrate everything and focus every bit of energy on every set and every repetition. The set and cycle is over only when raising or lowering the weight is physically impossible, even when 100% effort is being imposed.

4. Stretch hard for 30 seconds after each cycle. This is extremely important to the Cybergenics effect.

5. When doing forced reps, offer only enough assistance to raise the weight. Do not offer superfluous assistance as it is dangerous and counterproductive to the Cybergenics effect.

6. Use music during workout, as it evokes excitement and contributes to the "psyche". This will help to increase concentration and actually release small amounts of adrenaline.

7. Concentrate on raising the weight as quickly as possible while lowering it very slowly, taking up to six seconds to do so. This is extremely important to the Cybergenics effect.

8. Do not count repetitions, as there is no designated number that should be performed. The cycle and/or set is completed only when total negative failure is reached.

I developed Cybergencis formulas and went back and ran the company again in 1995 after Scott sold it to Lincolnshire (1993)Investment Group and it had gone bankrupt and Goodtimes bought it - they hired me to "bring it back to life"....trouble was Lincolnshire had done a lot of damage to it, Scott had left it under some pretty tight FDA consent decrees and the brand had been beaten and bruised over those few years....the kits contained some of the most advanced nutrients (at least for that time) that had ever been used in products...epherda, creatine, MCTs and many herbal extracts like griffonia, guarana, green tea and countless others that had never been used before....between those ingredients and the grueling workouts (I enjoyed writing those) people got results....Scott was truely ahead of his time - and he was the one that schooled Bill Phillips (pre Met-Rx days - way before EAS was even a dream) in the old days....I could tell you some stories....but that was a long time ago and both Scott and Bill turned out to be some of the brightest marketing minds in sports nutrition and a big part of how the industry grew.

no - I am from Florida - worked with Scott in Jersey ( Brick and Tom's River area) - used to do a lot of our training with WOW in Brick (workout world gym) and later ran Cybergenics out of NY city - I would commute every week for over 2 years.....that sucked. Spend many years in Jersey and New York and had my fill of "mall hair" jersey girls - I can tell you that for sure.

As far as being the devil - that would be one of the nicest things said about me in conjunction with the programs - ask the guys (and gals) that trained with me one on one for all of those years (and still do).....every Pro I have trained will tell you the stories of training legs with a bucket next to the squat rack.....I figure I am destined to hell for that for sure and if not that - definatley for all the jersey girls.....

does anyone remember my espn 2 tv show - Cyberfit - ran for 2 seasons before I left - we did some hellish training on that with some of the top pros I was working with at the time including appearances with Vince Taylor (training arms and shoulders) Phil Hill training legs - Charles Clairmont training back and James Roberts training chest - and some other memorable moments - the producers got pissed on m ore than one occassion becuae I had the "guest stars" spending more time pale and pucking than training.....the good old days - thanks for remembering

Essentially good old fashion "Giant Sets". They didint invent those. It's funny how creative they thought they were with these workouts, "train until you drop the weights on yourself and fall over".

Arnold and Franco "warmmed up" with Cybergenics ;D

I'm getting flashbacks just reading these workouts.  They are impossible to do however.  No one is going to positive and negative failure.  It's bullshit, no one ever did it.  But because you could not do the prescribed workouts then you couldn't honestly then claim that their snake oil didn't work.

We all tried.  No one succeeded.*

*I did learn a lot and kicking up the intensity to even attempt what they asked was educational.

Did Trevor Smith incorporate high jumps in his version? Because I don't think he could even do high jumps at his weight.

The workouts alone would bring new results, even if someone could get 50% of it completed.  I'm sure they made millions.  It's all marketing. 

Look at this "My Pillow" guy.  I see him on tv and hear him on the radio everyday, multiple times a day.  One of my relatives bought these pillows... they're average.  It's the aggressive marketing campaign that is selling the product.  That amount of tv commercials and radio spots must cost a fortune.

The workouts alone would bring new results, even if someone could get 50% of it completed.  I'm sure they made millions.  It's all marketing. 

Look at this "My Pillow" guy.  I see him on tv and hear him on the radio everyday, multiple times a day.  One of my relatives bought these pillows... they're average.  It's the aggressive marketing campaign that is selling the product.  That amount of tv commercials and radio spots must cost a fortune.

Yes they definitively made money through their lies.  It was a couple hundred bucks.  The results the workouts brought were overtraining not gains.  Stimulate don't annihilate.  Lots of naive teenage suckers back then with no internet to jade them.

I guess people still fall for stuff like this, but there's less of an excuse now that information that it is all fart powder lies is more accessible.
