Are you guys working out with regular super bands? You guys need to upgrade? You need to get yourself some NT loops. All right a couple of reasons you need to number one, Nick Tumminello is an OG in the fitness industry – great guy, great friend of mine, go support him and buy yourself some empty loops number two, they’re great badass product. They’re very versatile. You can use them in so many different situations you can add them to so many other traditional exercises. And you can throw out your old Super bands when you’re doing anything that would require you to put the band around your body, around your shoulders around your hips. They’re going to feel much more comfortable and they’re going to provide a greater result. Number three, you can watch these things.

 

All right, you can just use them get them all sweaty and gross. Doesn’t matter. Toss them in the washer, they’re good. And lastly, they have an anchor for the door. They have a traditional door anchor, you can put it over the top of the door on the side so you can use all different levels to assist. Like I said, you can provide a greater resistance to a lot of traditional exercises by just adding the empty mood and setting it up properly. If you are going to use it for that purpose, you can carabiner it but don’t use the door anchor carabiner to the actual band itself. Make sure that you have a nice secure carabiner or hook to set it to. And as I mentioned before, go support women.  Head over to ntloop.com and grab some bands they also have the minis love these much more comfortable like your traditional booty band instead of the latex versions. So go check them out.

Isometric, Eccentric, and Concentric

Written by

Alright, squad, I want to follow up on the ideologies. I've been talking about the 3P's and the 3I’s and tell you how you take a more well known concept like concentric, eccentric or isometric and apply them to your lifts and understand how they're really the same ideologies

If I were taking a basic barbell deadlift, and I wanted to isolate the concentric pattern of that for my hamstrings and my glutes.

Once again, I’m isolating one pattern of a deadlift to focus only on the concentric portion of the deadlift. So you could argue that this would be an opportunity to put more load on the bar because we’re not going to worry about the eccentric ones.

Isometric

So what I’m doing here, my concentric loading pattern, isolate that.

Whoa, drop the bar. Now. I continue to do that add more weight. And once again, I’m working in isolating only that pattern or portion of a deadlift. Now let’s think about something more like a squat. If I wanted to apply a e centric load and I wanted to isolate eccentric load, in part of a squatting pattern, what I would do

what I would do is focus on tempo on the eccentric portion of that so as I’m slowly going down, I might count to five.

Good, come back up normal tempo, once again isolating the eccentric portion. I can add more weight 12345.

Concentric

Good. Now let’s say ILe What would I do then? I would isolate that position. Okay. So any isometric movement means that the muscles are under tension, but the joint is not moving. So are the joints multiple involved in the movement pattern are not moving. So an isometric squat? I’m holding at the bottom

in order to isolate that position, in a squat, right, the same thing can be done and applied to tons of other movements. If I were to take a bicep curl, for example.

I want to isolate at 90 degrees that’s when I have the most tension on the bicep.

I am isolating a position.

Now to do a full rep. Right? If I want to work on the isometric and the eccentric.

All I’m doing is integrating each pattern the concentric and the eccentric together.

Concentric, eccentric, concentric, eccentric, concentric, eccentric. Now I’m integrating those together, right? And then you can innovate from there. Right? I can throw one up, one down, one up.

Eccentric

One down. I can isolate isometrically one position while I integrate both the concentric and eccentric loading patterns of the other.

Oh, and then I switch. Okay, so this is how concentric eccentric and isometric can really fall into weavin right with the ideas that I’ve been talking to you about, which are the three P’s position, pattern performance, and the three eyes which are isolate, integrate, and then innovate.

They can be applied to your normal lifting, and everyday workouts. So I hope this makes sense. Gives you a better framework on how your body works, how you integrate exercise and how you program your own workouts.

Movement Efficiency: The Concept of 3P’s Position, Pattern, and Perfomance

Written by

Hey what’s up y’all? So, I wanted to talk on the topic of movement efficiency. What are we training for my practical approach to training all of the time with my clients is movement efficiency.

Being able to manage pressure, manage weight resistance load, through positions on patterns, the most efficiency efficiently with the most optimum ability to perform that over a long period of time.

LEARN MORE BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO

It’s great to train for a one rep max, but we live life 24/7 You got to train for movement efficiency, because movement efficiency is strength.   You can’t have one without the other Even if you efficiently train one movement to be as strong as you can. That’s only one position. or if you watch my next video, you’ll understand what I mean by positions, pattern and performance. The ability to move from one position to another is a pattern more efficiently perform those, the better off you are.
