NEW ARTICLES ON EXAMINER.COM
NEW! I am now now writing for the Examiner as their new Omaha Health and Fitness Examiner! Here is one of my articles.
Second article. First in series on the Phoenix bodybuilding scene.
TRI-Level Training is a type of training that I implement in my own training with the results as shown
in these photos. I also implement it in working with my clients, adapting it to THEIR level of ability and current fitness.
As my clients progress, I adapt the system to fit their needs. Tri level training is a training system
that takes into account individual recovery ability and needs, and is able to make individual exercise prescriptions.

A recent article in Flex magazine dicussed research undertaken by the Austalian institute of sports which compared
training to failure versus sub failure training, and also multiple sets to failure versus one set to faiure. Guess what group
had the best results??
The one set to failure group with a 10% strength increase versus the subfailure group at 5%. Performing
2- 4 sets to failure didn't improve results., they DECREASED them, coming in at 6%. Sound familiar?
This link only has
the preleminary information, the studies are talked about more in the magazine article. As much as I haven't been much of
a fan of Flex in a long time, it was a well written, logical and practical article.
