Mike Mentzer Exclusive Interview! A Bodybuilding Legend... H ello dear friends. Today I have the honor of interviewing a man that wrote history in bodybuilding, either as a competitor or as a trainer. I am talking, of course, about Mike Mentzer . He won the 1978 Mr.Universe with the first perfect score in history - 300 points. He did so using brief and infrequent high-intensity workouts, which he has popularized over the years through seminars, books, and his innumerable magazine articles. "Healthy mind in a healthy body". 1. M.M. L ifting weights places stresses on the body that might be best illustrated by the following. T hese are small efforts causing the sine wave to barely move above the flat line. T hen, all of a sudden, you come to that point in the day where you do a heavy set of Squats to failure. R emember, the idea is not to go into the gym to discover how many sets you can do or how long you can mindlessly endure. 2. M.M. I t actually kinda scared me for a brief time. 3. M.M. 4. 5. M.M. I would like to thank Mr. John Stamatopoulos

Go for the Glutes - usatriathlon.org By Patti WallerPhoto by Jared Slinde/USA Triathlon Triathletes need strength training for power and performance, as well as injury prevention. The gluteal muscles function nonstop during a triathlon. The gluteus maximus extends the hip, such as to pull our leg backward. Here are two key glute exercises I build into strength programming: lateral side steps (with resistance band) and clams. Lateral Side Step Band is placed just above both ankles. Advice: Maintain a low, forward-facing posture. Side-Lying Clam Lie on your side. Advice: If done correctly you should feel the muscles around the hip (gluteus medius and minimus) working. Patti Waller is USA Triathlon Level I Certified Coach, Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist and Trainer and has eight years coaching experience and 12 years competing in triathlon. The views expressed in this article are the opinion of the author and not necessarily the practices of USA Triathlon.

The 7-Minute Circuit Workout for Triathletes In a fascinating analysis of the world of ultra-runners published a 2013 issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning, researchers collected data showing those new to the running world apparently aren't that intimidated by the notion of racing longer than the standard marathon distance, like the 50k, the 50-mile, the 100k and beyond. At least less intimidated than they used to be, according to a new study on ultra-runners published in the November issue. Either less intimidated or more impatient. Data collected by the researchers indicated that one out of four newcomers to ultramarathon race distances with 3 or less years of running under their belt.

Among the former ultramarathon runners, running injuries represented the most common reason for discontinuation of regular running or for deciding to not run ultramarathons in the future. 1.
Mark Allen's 12 Best Strength Exercises I have a few questions for you. Are you over 35 years of age? Do you have a limited amount of training time? Do you want to reverse—or at least slow down—as many aspects of the aging process as possible? Are you an endurance athlete looking for an extra edge? Do you want to boost power, reduce fatigue, guard against injury and increase your late-race energy reserves? Well, who doesn't? More: How to Boost Your Tri Fitness With Strength Training All too many triathletes sacrifice strength training in favor of additional swim, bike or run sessions. I fought going to the gym for years until I reached my mid-30s. Adding resistance training was the next step, but I had a problem.

The #1 Workout To Get You Ready For Ironman Gordo Byrn, the founder of Endurance Corner and author of Going Long, uses what he calls Big Day Training (BDT) as a checkpoint for his athletes training for 140.6. Not only does this workout help to train your mind, you’re also teaching the body pacing and how to digest nutrition over a long period of exercise. “This is the only way to get a taste of how it’s going to feel,” Byrn says. Start out by doing the workout at an easy pace with long breaks (including meals) in between sessions, then move to a race-specific focus for your second time around. RELATED: Linsey Corbin’s Bike Strength Workout Big Day Training workout, the first time • Swim 1 hour • Break, with meal • Bike 5 hours, continuous with very minimal rest or stopping • Run 1 hour easy “What most people find the first time they do that session is that they’re blown away by how torched they are once they get off the bike,” Byrn says. Big Day Training workout, the second time • Quick break, change, recovery drink • Run easy 10K
Dumbbell complex training for faster running Running faster race times requires more than just running further or choosing the right shoe. The scientific literature supports the addition of heavy weight lifting and explosive jump training to endurance running training as a way to improve running performance (Beattie et al., 2014). Strength and plyometric (a.k.a. jump-type exercises) training can improve neuromuscular efficiency (e.g. brain muscle communication ability), increase force production capacity, delay the recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers and help convert plastic fast-twitch type IIx fibers into fatigue resistant type IIa fibers (Ronnestad & Mujika, 2013). The benefits to running are expressed as improved running economy, running speed and time to exhaustion (Beattie et al., 2014). Time-Efficient Training As little “free-time” tends to be available to the average runner, juggling runs, work, friends, family—and now strength and jump training—can be difficult.
