Mechanical Post-X1

Primary Goal: Muscle Gain
Training Phase: Hypertrophy / Metabolic
Training Frequency: 4x/week
Split: Quarter Body
Includes Super Sets
Nutrition Calculator Included

Mechanical damage is one of the hypertrophy stimuli that focuses on helping you add new muscle tissue, rather than just “size”. You can expect to add lean muscle that will increase your potential for strength and a higher metabolic rate.

This program focuses on creating mechanical trauma by spending more time in the lengthened position and overloading it there with both high intensity work and some metabolic fatigue.

Execution is always important, but even more so in this program as your ability to control the eccentric portion of the rep and initiate with the intended muscle tissue will be paramount to reaping the full benefits of this program.

Expect to be sore for about 1-2 days after each workout when you’re doing this program correctly. While soreness is not necessarily an indicator for growth, it is an indicator of an inflammatory response (like mechanical damage to your muscle tissue). So in this case it does indicate that you’re creating the stimulus that will lead to hypertrophy provided that you’re fueling your recovery with adequate nutrition.

Just use the included nutrition calculator as your guide to help you stay on track and manage your macros to maximize your recovery and performance.

Post-Exhaust

The goal is to extend the duration of work for a group of muscle fibers in a portion of the range, which will lead to continued recruitment of high threshold motor units in that range.

In this program we’ll use it to promote mechanical damage to stimulate a hypertrophy response for building muscle.
