Dumbest shit ever. I was blown away when I heard an interview with Arnold and he was getting behind this.

Of course, if you're used to doing 8-12 reps, then do 40 reps...you'll have more lactic acid build up and feel more of a burn...no shit. This doesn't mean you're benefiting more from it though, but targeting slower twitch fibers.

Conspiracies uncovered right here. More bro science with zero research.

Same goes for juicers who are "high rep volume" guys...aka guys who want to prolong their career and realize they can build a ton of muscle on the right drugs with baby weight.

Muscle confusion....that's the ticket...haaha

So what do you consider 'shocking the muscle' ?

Bluez · « **Reply #2 on:** February 23, 2015, 05:57:33 PM »

I agree you can't confuse or shock a muscle.

Sometimes I surprise my own muscles. I just go to the gym telling myself I'll do chest/triceps then I do legs. It works.

Got to "keep the body guessing" oh brother

High reps, low reps, rest pause, time under tension, HITT 1 set Jedi'ism

Nothing shocks them any more. Just heavy ass weight works.

Muscle Confusion. A training system so secret, that even you won't know what you're doing.

-Dick Hurtz

"I used to do 10 reps for chest, now I mix it up and do 15 reps, then throw in seated calves for a super set. I never experienced such gains!!"
-Buster Hymen

"The stationary bike on level 2, is usually my bread and butter for burning fat. Instead, this month I did the stairmaster on level 17 for 2x the time and burned more fat. WTF is happening? This program is CRAZY!!"
-Mike Hunt

"I'm going for size when I train, so I was skeptical of the muscle confusion system. I'm a straight up 8-12 rep guy, so when the muscle confusion plan had me do 100 reps of EVERYTHING with 10 seconds of rest between ALL sets...I was fooking drained and thought I'd puke. Well...I was so sore for a week...I KNEW it was working."

The best contest lighting since the 2004 Ironman. The stainless steel fridge reflects the lights onto the muscle bellies and really confuses the shit out of them. #weiderlightingprinciples

So, trial and error in the real world of the gym is "zero research"?
