Upgrade your “plumbing” to boost your endurance and fat loss | StrongFirst

STRONG ENDURANCE express Online Course by PAVEL

There are times when simply enduring is not enough. One must carry on at a high level of strength or power.

A football game. A wrestling match. An obstacle course in a full kit. Moving grandma’s antique furniture.

For decades such endurance had been built with “met cons.” Then a top sports scientist reframed the question and changed history…

What if instead of training the athlete to tolerate ever increasing concentrations of lactic acid we trained him to produce less of it?

Anti-glycolytic training (AGT) was born.

Our Strong Endurance™ curriculum is the last word in AGT. It consolidates the best of the Eastern European and Western research with StrongFirst’s experience.

For those of you who have been unable to take Pavel Tsatsouline’s seminar, we have filmed a streamlined version. Watch STRONG ENDURANCE™ express in your living room without the risk of getting “volunteered” for a demo in front of the class.

If I am interpreting Pavel's explanation of this manner of training correctly, I have been doing this manner of circuit training for years under the name of PHA (Peripheral Heart Action Circuit). The body weight calisthenics circuit that I do is as follows; 5 ring dips or pushups, 10 squats, 5 chinups or pullups, 10 squats, doing as many rounds of this circuit as possible in 60 minutes at a steady intentional pace that I would consider to be at the lower level of zone 2 cardio, not at a frantic pace as would be prescribed by Crossfit. i'm 64 years of age and typically average 57 rounds of this circuit in 60 minutes. I complete this circuit 6 days per week.

That sounds like heart rate zone 2 or zone 3 training to establish the foundation before adding zone 4-5 HIIT workouts. Seems reasonable.

I'm 2 months into anti-glycolytic training ("Iron Cardio")*. I'm 58 and I feel this is the method for my recovery, strength and maintenance. The real joy is that I finish a session, mild layer of sweat, no gasping for air yet my muscles are spent, and my brain is at rest. The rest days are loosening up via "Relax into Stretch" and are worse than workout days. Point being, de-motivation, that scourge of the western mindset, never appears. It [2x16kg. 1 rep is swing, clean, press and snatch (rack first, save your elbows!). Session is 20 reps in 20 minutes.]. Oh, thanks for a system that also gave my my first full 8-hour sleep in years!

This reminds me of a show where they did tests on Randy Couture (I believe) who, remarkably in the eyes of the scientists, had a lactic threshold that went down as he was attempting a submission.

If I understand you correctly, It IS like always. You have to build the foundation, before you build the House and for a Tower this is even more important.

Does anyone have links to videos and articles going into much more depth on training the vascular system?
I'm trying to improve very poor circulation and need to learn a lot more about this.

[lmowni]

Can I combine "plumbing" and strength training in the same program? And if I can, sould I do it in seperate days or I can do it in the same day and in which order?

[abinavmr]

AXE is the answer..aka zone 2 punches with the kettlebell

[JeffMartinez]

Ok, that being said, what is the answer?

[MarioJBGugisch]

We all heard about Zone 2/Zone 5 heart rate training..
But im wondering how that would apply to other muscles (other than the heart) though..
Lets say if im focusing on chest muscles, focus for some time on sets of 50 reps and after i build endurance/"plumbing" then i can up the intensity?!
Wouldnt that (50 rep sets) also cause muscle fiber adaptations which aren't really desired if my goal is strength?
Then after some time training with high intensity wouldn't the blood vessels just increase resistance again and lose that previous effort?
Or its all done in the same workout? How would i avoid fatigue (to not compromise the high intensity part of the training) if thats the case?

what im getting wrong?

[TheGoodfella]

SO basically zone2 training before any HIIT?

[markmarlatt]

Cyclists have been doing this for years now!
