To all Weight lifters on OT have you ever heard of this.......

Ok so i just completed my 9th workout using this method, and i just finished bench pressing my last set and as i got off the bench my legs gave out on me abit and i hadnt even worked them!!!!!

My arms and chest feel more ripped and pumped than ever before and it hurts just to move them, and whats so good about this is before i had to workout intensley for almost an hour, now i feel even more pumped and i only did 20 minutes.

Its called " The Matrix Principle"

After my brother had used this for a year he gave the book about it to meand i love it, The Matrix Principle focuses on fast and efficient workouts with little breathers in between different sets mainly around 20 seconds.

Ok so for example take a bench press, most people would do say 8 reps a set and 3 sets with about a minute in between with their 8th rep being their maximun and they cant lift anymore after that.

A standard Matrix bench press for example uses only 40% of your maximun lifting weight however you do 5 full reps, 5 half up reps, 5 half down reps and 5 full again, and after that you feel more pumped than doing 5 sets of the regular benching method.

And instead of having a 3-5min break after that you launch straight into your next set after about 30-45 seconds.

So OT weight lifters thats just an extremely small snippet of nformation on the whole Matrix Principle type workouts, what do you think of it and those that have tried it or heard of it plz share your experiences.

This is first time I've heard of "The Matrix Principle." It sounds like you're doing supersets and high intensity training. They're good.BranKetra

Just a head's up to TC: Supersets have no rest between them. Once the 'super is done, that's when you rest for 10-30 seconds. Ideally, just catch your breath.BranKetra

good old fashioned weight lifting is good enough for me. EntropyWins

are you new to lifting?

also there are 2 "matrix principle" books. which one are you talking about?

"The Matrix Principle: A Revolutionary Approach to Muscle Development"

and

"The Matrix Principle: Revolution in Weight Training"

Yeah I've heard stuff like that before.

My football coach tells us to have 30 secs rest in between sets because it helps us with our exploding power. It is more intense and there is no time wasting. I believe this way of working out is similar to what you're talking about right?

It also puts extreme pressure on your heart I wouldn't recommend.

[QUOTE="sonofsmeagle"][QUOTE="krayzieE99"] more details please.krayzieE99

I never really understood how and why people would workout for 3-4 hours in the gym. You're not doing your body any favors by "over-working" it. Your body can only build muscles and recover so much each day. And you should only work out two muscle parts of your body a day. I see some people working out chest, arms, and legs in one session. That's stupid. Some people have too much pride and ego. But foolish. I find that my best workouts are the short but INTENSE workout regimes. You gotta' feel the burn!

Great information TC!

Oh gawd today I was bench pressing only like 60 pounds reps of 15 and I was worn out on the second set! While I normally bench press much higher weigh :? This might help, thanks a lot tc I'll google more on thisDarthkaiser
