Timing Resistance Training: Unlocking the Muscle Clock for Optimal Performance. Understanding how timing affects athletic performance has been a cornerstone of sport science since its emergence in the 1950s. Recent research has taken this concept to new heights, revealing that our muscles have internal 'time clocks' that respond to exercise programming cues. This book delves into the world of these internal physiological systems, teaching you how to manipulate them to train and perform at your best every day. You'll learn to view your muscles as proactive, independent systems that can be trained to 'think' by delivering timing cues. The book explores various training methods, including biomechanical pairing, complex training, and concurrent training, to help you cue those internal clocks with purposeful exercises. It also addresses the importance of rest, activity-rest cycles, and recuperation, as well as the concept of undertraining. With this knowledge, you'll be able to create your own training programs for strength, power, and flexibility, including sample workouts and long-term programming routines.
