Q1: What can we expect from the block/program, and what is the goal?
The goal of AMG is to elicit the necessary muscle stimulus to create change in muscle belly size and density. As a person progresses in their training age, hypertrophy demands need to adapt. What started out as the minimal exercise dose of reps and sets to create change and size, gets harder to achieve the longer we train throughout our lives.
What makes “hypertrophy” hypertrophy: Stimulus.
We need to stimulate the muscle groups with Volume ranging between 12-16 working sets per week per muscle group. We need to hit the muscles with a wide range of schemes to achieve an anabolic environment for growth, hitting between 8-30 reps, ideally getting close to technical failure. That means those last few reps are HARD; the weight doesn’t need to be heavy, but the intention and execution have to be maximum effort/intent. Squeeze and feel those few reps of 8lbs/4kgs that feel like 100.
We need to hit angles/ ROMs and maintain tension throughout the whole human movement system. Wide, close, neutral, quarter rep, ATG squats, pronated, supinated, cluster, eccentric, this list can go on and on, but these slight variations are integral to building a muscular physique that will be resilient to injury and pain. We want some soreness. You can expect some; we don’t want pain.
Q2: Who is this program for?
This program can be done by anyone wanting to increase muscle size and muscle mass. This program, and true hypertrophic training is not easy. It’s not exactly “fun” and exciting, and it can be tediously grueling. However, it will create results and will increase your “mind-muscle connection.”
If you want to challenge your mental toughness, this can also be a fun way to see how far you can push yourself and see what kind of grit you have.
Q3: Why should I join the program?
If you have made progress building muscle in the past but find it starting to slow or become increasingly harder to develop. You’ve hit a plateau in your training, are chasing the pump, want to gain some size, or increase muscle tone/density this is for you.
Q4: How much time do I need to set aside?
Typically in my old school training, there would be long 2-3 hours spent in the gym. With the Vitruvian, the intention needed and muscle stimulus it recruits, you shouldn’t have to spend that much time. I wish I had this machine years ago, but now it’s here and you’ll be able to get the same amount of training stimulus in an hour to 90 minutes.
Q5: What tips & tricks do you have to make the most of the exercises?
I have found over the years that certain adjustments and angles target and feel better in my muscles. So I will post on Instagram different setups for hitting different exercises. The main thing is what helps you “feel” the muscles you’re targeting the best. I love pullovers and found setting up in an incline bench press position helps me get a way better full ROM lat engagement for pullovers on Vitruvian than using a single cable or rope.
