ANATOMY
STRENGTH LANGUAGE X C(LP)
-
Strength is the body's ability to produce maximum force.
-
The process of the body adjusting to a stressor or training that leads to great capacity for force in the future and allows for appropriate recovery.
This happens on a neurological level to help with coordination and recruitment of muscle fibers which leads to increase in muscle size (hypertrophy).
-
Progressive overload means gradually increasing the challenge placed on your muscles over time so your body continues to adapt and get stronger.
In strength-based or Core (LP) style training, that can look like:
Slowing tempo to increase time under tension
Using heavier springs or resistance
Reducing rest time
Increasing range of motion or control
Adding in variation
Essentially, it’s the principle that keeps workouts effective and prevents plateaus. You’re always asking your body to do just a little more than it did before.
-
Hypertrophy is the growth of muscle as a result of progressive overloading and sufficient tension.
C(LP) does this by emphasizing slow, controlled movements under constant tension. This maximizes micro-tears in the muscle fibers which grow back and creates lean muscle growth over time.
-
Ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions over time.
At C(LP) we use minimal rest and maintaining time under tension over longer periods of time results in both musclar and cardiovascular endurance.
-
Force produced quickly.
Power is less emphasized at C(LP) but can be seen in use of cardio bursts and quick transitions.
