The contrast method in fitness generally means combining a lower speed (heavier) exercise with a higher speed (lighter or no weight) exercise. This method is often used in athletes who focus on high power output, such as track athletes or American football players.<\/p>\n
In today’s Strength Intensity section, you will see an iteration of the contrast method. The RDL and Russian KBS combination offers a unique stimulus to the hinge movement pattern and the posterior chain. The RDL is slower and heavier; the KBS is lighter and faster. The KBS will likely feel lighter after coming directly from the RDL.<\/p>\n
Muscles work differently at different speeds – this is referred to as viscoelasticity. For a muscle to be well trained, it needs to be able to work at all different speeds.<\/p>\n
There are 3 stations only.<\/p>\n
SET UP:<\/strong><\/p>\n Use both the 2 half racks and the 2 rigs for Deadlift so that we can have up to 8 people doing deadlifts.<\/p>\n Bent over rows can be done in front of the sled track, opposite to deadlift stations But leave the sled track empty for the farmer carry. Up to 4 Barbells aligned together (can accommodate for 8 people : 4 on each Barbell).<\/p>\n FOR TIME<\/p>\n per side DO both exercises on the same arm before switching<\/p>\n This station can be done using DB too. No need to stick with KBs. DBs will offer less stability challenge compared to KB.<\/p>\n EVERY 3:20 X 3 SETS<\/p>\n 10 Romanian Deadlift 3 WORKING SETS Record your highest weight and beat it next time. We will see the Bent Over Row alternating on a weekly basis with the Supinated bent over row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Full Body: Tip: CONTRAST METHOD The contrast method in fitness generally means combining a lower speed (heavier) exercise with a higher speed (lighter or no weight) exercise.
