The super set is a bit intimidating from a far. Up close, it's a ferocious roaring tiger. And that tiger is ME!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Yeah, baby. I'm trying to figure out if my body was filled with extra adrenaline today facing the super set or if the alternating opposite muscle groups actually helps you during the set or both. I don't know. Maybe Patrick will lay down the science for us. The workout felt new today, I guess that's because it was, but after working out for 87 days straight you think it would get boring. NOPE. Sorry, that's another line, sir. This is the BADASS line. I was about to launch into my last set of V-sit ups/Planks when a gym buddy said to me, "On my next set I'm going to out groan you"!, my reply, "NO YOU WON'T". 192 pounds. New pics up. GO TEAM GO!!!
This all has to do with the "gate-theory" of pain. Basically, your brain can't process acute pain in two places at once. So the opposing muscle group burn cancels out the one that preceeded it, leaving you feeling fresh when you hit up the first group on the next set.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at the effect myself.
I just looked at your new pictures and then I looked at the photo stream. I normally don't write bad language...but Holy Shit! What a trans formative experience. I was blown away.
It is like being reborn! You are in fact a new man.
Go Team Go! Indeed
