Fred Koch Training System Begins

Fred Koch Training System Begins

The question of sets and reps.

One of the big issues in BB and trainings has always been the sets and reps. One of the issue that has bothered me ever since I started writng here in Norway is this set and rep issue. There are numerous scientific sets and reps versions that can be done. 3-5 reps works the nervous system and gives the muscle a harder look, 6-10 reps works one  set of hypertrophy muscles 10-20 works another type of hypertrophy muscles, so just saying go do 3 or 4 sets of 10 reps is really not true. But to begin to write again on BB whether it be beginning or advanced I have to begin to find a way to explain to you what these rep ranges mean and how much they really have an effect on your results. The biggest mistake any trainer makes is he trains everyday to exhaustion. That is the standard way to train. Walk in the gym, train whatever mood you are in, wait (now it’s a week) and do it again. Never having any idea where your body is at, if you did too much or too little. If you sat back and used a runner for example and they went out and ran until they fell n the ground to exhaustion then rested and did it again in a week. Well in BB you may not feel out of breath that way, but your body sure does. Think about it , it is ridiculous. So I am left with this dilemma. How am I going to explain this set and rep thing? I guess a little at a time. Which I will do in the future. If you want the fast version now  I wrote a paper on it years ago it is called “Defining Progressive resistance”. Definisjon-av-maksstyrke Yes, well ok that tells you what you are doing wrong ,but with all those formulas in there, we know why no one has never done this type of training. WAY to much work.

20 years ago when I was a writer for Ironman Bodybuilding Magazine and had just met my teacher Dr. Tudor Bompa, we used his theories and I designed what was known as the Ironman Bodybuidling Training system. It was a system where we actually designed the workouts on a day to day basis for you based on your personal strengths after you filled out a form and took some tests. Well back then I had a staff of people that we did this with. Now that I am back into the BB scene again I had to come up with a simple way to redue this sytem, without a lot of people doing the computer work. Well, here is my first try. It is called the www.fredkoch.com  Training system.

I will give you a set group of excises for a 3 day or 5-6 day program, You will get a complete instruction bookon how to take your own personal tests, send me the results and I will send you workout sheets with every set ever reps for 6-8 weeks, you retest and we continue. The program is for a 12 month training program. To check more out on the www.fredkoch.com  Training system. Go to www.fredkoch.com
