Y3T works over a 3 week cycle, here's how it is broken down -
Week
1 - 6-10 reps per set, usually 12-16 working sets per body part
The
point of week 1 is to induce myofibrillar hypertrophy (did you know
there are two forms of muscular hypertrophy?), stimulate high threshold
motor units and target fast twitch muscle
fibers.
Week 2 - 12-18 reps per set, usually 8-12 working sets per body part
The
point of week 2 is to induce sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (there's the
other form!!) and target slow and fast twitch muscle fiber populations!
Week 3 - 20-80 per set, usually
3-6 working sets per body part
The
point of week 3 is to train with extreme intensity. Every muscle fiber
will be hit, especially slow twitch muscle fibers and the CNS will be
put under great stress. Major blood flow into the working muscle is also
a key component of week
3.
There are many more reasons why Y3T
is structured like this, injury prevention been a key one because
whilst working with higher reps the muscle is taxed significantly yet
the connective tissues are not. At least not to the same extent of
lifting with low
reps every week.
You
are also hitting ALL muscle fibers, rather than just 30-60% which means
your potential for growth is MUCH greater. This is one of the KEY
reasons why people see such dramatic results when they first start using
Y3T, over anything else they've
used.
It's
a very 3 dimensional training plan which I've developed and evolved
over two decades. I'm yet to see someone adopt it as their training and
not build new muscle tissue, with the right diet plan.
