Summary: --------------------------------------------------------<br> ♦ Research and Support for Hardgainer Solution 2.0 ♦<br> --------------------------------------------------------<br> A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology in 2017 found that training to failure slows down recovery, supporting the key tenet of recovery emphasized in Hardgainer Solution 2.0.<br> <br> ♦♦ Train like you have something to accomplish, not something to prove. ♦♦<br> <br> • The study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology Dec 2017, demonstrated that training to failure slows recovery.<br> <br> • The hardgainer trainee shouldn’t train to failure at any time, even for one set.<br> <br> • Following a routine used by a pro (who may be on PEDs) leads to overtraining and overuse syndromes.<br> <br> • The true hardgainer has a very specific dilemma of balancing adequate stimulus and recovery for optimum adoptive response.<br> <br> • The study looked at three different resistance training protocols using the bench press and squat. It showed that training to failure slows recovery 24 to 48 hours post-exercise.<br> <br> • Not training to failure enables the trainee to train again sooner.<br> <br> • The hardgainer is already susceptible to overtraining, so avoiding it is critical.<br> <br> • Leave the gym feeling invigorated, not exhausted.<br> <br> • HGS 2.0 is the result of feedback from hundreds who wrote and commented on the original HGS, along with Scott’s own biofeedback and that of his clients. It focuses a bit more on recovery than did the original [although the original did as well…just not to the same degree.]<br> <br> • HGS 2.0 provides enough stimulus to engage adoptive response without tapping into ability to recover.<br> <br> • Whole body training based on innervation methodology with emphasis on inter and intra-workout recovery makes the most sense for the hardgainer trainee.<br> <br> • Scott: Compound exercises tax recovery more than do single joint exercises.<br> <br> [Reference]<br> <br> Moran-Navarro R, et al. “Time course of recovery following resistance training leading or not to failure.” Eur J Appl Physiol. 2017 Dec;117(12):2387-2399.<br> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28965198<br> <br> **Special Offer - Get a FREE week of workouts from my most popular workout program, The Hardgainer Solution:<br> http://hardgainersolution.com/free/<br>
