So my last session with Kettlebells and Coffee we talked about MRT, Metabolic Resistance Training, and how that's adding a whole new experience
To hit high-intensity interval training. I had so much feedback and people asking questions that
I decided to do another one
There's a certain thing that we can do with the whole DVRT system that is so compatible
to go with the MRT with the DVRT.
A lot of letters. Let's just explore a little bit
So the MRT, once again, we're taking what we know is HIT training
HIT ... HIIT
whatever you want to call it, and we're flipping it upside down.
So instead of doing 45 seconds of work with a 15 second break
we're doing 15 seconds of work with a 45 second break
You might think that that doesn't seem like a lot, trust me, I was in that same boat when I first heard about this.
How could you get an effective session with only 15 seconds of work at a time?
Well, I found out you can and the whole thing is you have to earn your rest.
So if you're done with your 15 seconds
And you're just kind of bopping around maybe looking to do a couple of the reps of something else
You didn't go hard enough. You didn't earn your rest
How do you know what's the amount of volume that you should do in 15 seconds?
How many reps should you be striving for? Coach Dos lays this out perfectly.
Let's just use the 15:45 protocol in 15 seconds
You should be looking at between 5 to 8 repetitions.
Now, if you're getting five to eight reps, and you're earning that rest
You've got some heavy load going on. Trust me, I know.
And that's what those other hip protocols don't offer is if you're going 40, 45, 50 seconds
And you're only getting 20, 15, 10 seconds of break, you can't maintain
the intensity it's going to start diminishing. If I'm finding out that
I'm getting less than five repetitions
Well, guess what I have to do. I have to lower my weight a little bit to stay within that rep range.
That rep range really makes it special. I mean you have more of a focus now.
It's not just throwing darts in the dark
It's you've got this target and you've got this bullseye and you're aiming for that.
And then of course, if you're getting beyond eight repetitions in 15 seconds,
well bless your heart, get a heavier load, and party on!
A lot of people's gyms, in their home gyms, wherever they are, when performing these sessions
And they're doing 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds of their work
And it's too easy, well, what do they do
They get heavier weight. And if it's too hard, they go lighter in the weight.
But with the DVRT system, if I'm finding out that something's a little too easy
I don't have to change the weight of my Ultimate Sandbag,
I can change my body position and all of a sudden create something totally different!
Let's say I'm doing power cleans, 15 seconds power cleans and I only have one Ultimate Sandbag.
In a 15 seconds I'm cranking out maybe 8, 9, and possibly 10. I'm getting too much volume for the 15 seconds.
So what could I do? I could change it to a staggered stance. Now, I've changed my body position. This has changed the load
It's changed the way that the movement goes so I might now be finding myself getting
5, 6, 7 instead of getting in 8, 9, and 10.
If you're not as fortunate as I am to have a gym with
over 20 Ultimate Sandbags with all these varying weights and you might only have one or two at home
You can definitely change the way things are done. You can change the way you hold the Ultimate Sandbag,
You can change the way your body's position.
You can go from standing, to half kneeling, to tall kneeling.
We can start moving in different planes of motion. We can start moving laterally, we can start rotating.
When I approach these MRT sessions, I have butterflies in my stomach
Before I enter into these sessions. It's so weird like part of me
is like I'm almost too scared to go into and you might be thinking why would anybody want to do that?
Why would you want to be butterflied and scared at your session?
Not everybody needs to be an athlete,
but everybody should be athletic. I mean that's what life demands from us. This real-world strength is athleticism
That's what it is when I have to
quickly lunge to the one side to grab a child
That happens all the time
So life demands that we have that strength and that's what the DVRT system,
hooked up with the MRT protocols gives us is that real-world functional strength. Total body package,
no isolation, being able to move in space
Body control, that's what it's all about. As Coach Dos says, and I love it, programming does not have to be rocket science
But it still has to have some science attached to it
So if you're looking at this and you're thinking I have no idea where to start I created this program
Movement Strength Encyclopedia. It's all based on the MRT protocols and it takes you from the ground up.
I mean our first session
basic and then as you advance, you just keep growing with the system.
So there's a place to start.
You're welcome!
