This particular area of fraud has a major effect on everyone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWkvtPiKFR0 Understanding this area of fraud is a basic part of economic literacy. Consider, for example, how many people believe "inflation" means a general increase in prices. That belief ignores over 5,000 years of history, during which time central banks have diluted the currency as an answer to reducing debts. During those 5 millennia, the usual source of a country's crippling debt was war. Today, the United States has crippling debt due to a variety of causes. Most of them have to do with corporate welfare. That is, a massive transfer of wealth (via inflation and other means) to the criminal class (including banksters). |

The medical industry has long advised people to get moderate exercise. This
advice, like much health-related advice given by the medical industry, is
wrong. For one thing, It
contradicts what we know about physiology. The advice stems from three observations:
Therefore, moderate exercise, which is a tad harder than light exercise, but not as hard as vigorous exercise, must be best. Right? Moderate exercise is defined as exercise you can do while talking but you can't do while singing. An example is a brisk walk (4 MPH). What the medical experts leave out is any concept of the adaptive response or any differentiation between correct training and the kind of exercise their damaged patients engage in. And that is why their advice is wrong. Basically, the medical experts are telling you not to do anything more strenuous than a warm-up. Think about that. Neither moderate nor vigorous exercise will challenge your body in a way that causes it to adapt to the demand. Especially if said exercise is intermittent. Playing pick-up basketball on Saturday afternoons is not going to improve your health or your fitness, and will likely send it backwards due to injuries. So what does work? The answer is a systematic program of intense training, typically done with weights though other methods can be used. But it must include adequate rest of the targeted muscle groups, or the goal will be defeated. |

That need for rest (recovery) is why the split routine is so effective. You
train a different muscle group (and the related joints, ligaments, and
tendons) on each training day. This is how you stimulate the adaptive
response that builds bone and muscle while providing many other benefits and
while not causing more muscle damage than your body can take. Unfortunately, many weight lifters don't understand the need for rest (recovery) and try to train three days a week. Often, the "training" is a "full body workout" which simply cannot take your intensity to an effective level. That's the reason these people rarely make any progress in their fitness level, after the initial six months. Then they give up, often believing that "staying toned" is all they really need. There's no such thing as "staying toned," but there is a persistent reduction in bone mass and muscle mass for those who lower their expectations and give up on weight training. Often, they will give up weight training because their incorrect techniques have produced nagging joint pains and they blame the weights instead of how they are using the weights. Physicians see these people and tell them, "See, I told you to do moderate exercise instead of that weight lifting." One problem is those patients are a self-selecting group that does not include people who trained correctly. The physicians see only the people whose poor training practices got them hurt. It's not the weight lifting per se that has done the damage. It's lifting weights without understanding the principles behind physical conditioning. Typically, this lack of understanding means lifting too much weight and then banging up your joints to complete the movements. Poor form, momentum lifting, and other mistakes take their toll. A practice that is gaining popularity among body builders, martial artists climbers, and other athletes is to leave your ego (look how much I am lifting!) at the gym door and focus on how to make the exercise provide maximum muscle tension with minimal weight. For example, I used to shoulder press with a pair of 55 lb dumbbells. Switching to Y presses allowed me to get the same muscle tension with 25 lb dumbbells. A lot less wear and tear. Then Robert Wichman (Body Transformations in Lees Summit, MO) showed me how to get even more tension using only 10 lb dumbbells. It sounds like I was playing with baby weights instead of seriously lifting, but those reps were very difficult to crank out. Techniques like pre-exhaustion and maximizing isolation allow you to push stimulation to its limit, while greatly reducing the risk of injury. Light exercise and moderate exercise are work avoidance, rather than valid conditioning strategies. They provide minimal benefits that are below what you actually need. They are like showing up to your job and avoiding work all day, then expecting not to be put on the next layoff list. What you want, instead, is to work hard and work smart so that you can get a raise. And that's what good training is all about. Be smart about it, and work hard at it. You can't get good results by training in dumb ways (e.g., momentum training) or by avoiding the work in the first place. The next time a doctor advises moderate exercise, ask to see his or her ripped abs. If you are smart about your training and work hard at it, you'll be able to show that doctor what that doctor cannot show you. | |
