Tudor Originals Bodybuilding Phase Part 1

2010-01-20T15:37:00.002+01:00

The bodybuilding or hypertrophy phase of Tudors writings are in my opinion the most direct answer the

the big question for bodybuilders of "How much weight" do I add each workout. There is some much none sense put out in the magazines which all say the same thing " train to exhausion" which we all know scientifically is just not true. As bodybuilders and fitness people we must all admit we are lazy and want the quick fix. Unfortunately as Tudor says "If you fail to plan you plan to fail". This of course takes work.

The second reason that I publish Tudor's originals is the watered down versions of his writings that are starting to appear. I want the serious student of training to see the Master's words so there is no misunderstand.

The Answer to continued gains

2009-11-08T10:50:00.015+01:00

The simple answer is, training to failure or what mood you are in ever time you train is never the answer. Once you understand "Progressive resistance" you will open yourself to gains you never thought possible.

Real Abdominal Strength Training

2009-11-02T16:46:00.002+01:00

Watch here as a 50 kilo female skiier does sit-ups with 45 kilos for reps and then ask yourself what are the possibilities when you learn what true "strength training for the abdominals" really is.

Big Back

2009-11-01T11:47:00.006+01:00

When it comes to training back there is never any science involved. magazines have to publish every month and thus come up with a new idea. Unfortunately to the average bodybuilder or sports athlete this really doesn't help them get better.

The main reason for not getting a better back is the biceps tire out before the back gets a chance to work. The second reason has to do with understanding the real movements of the back.
Hopefully this article and videos ( originally published På Norsk at http://www.treningsforum.no/php/art.php?id=931) will clear up some of these mistakes.

Tudor Originals Muscle Endurance-Bodybuidling,Cuts

2009-11-01T11:12:00.008+01:00

If you have read Tudor's books you will see this is the most misunderstood phase in the annual plan. My feeling is the main reason for this is that most athletes, coaches and bodybuilders have never tried it. The ones that have will attest to how great it works.

For athletes it translates into "force per stroke" . even in sprinting the 100 meters their are around 70 steps, the one who fades last is the winning (muscle endurance).

In bodybuilding this phase is used during a period where the loss of weight from body fatis the goal. this phase forces the body to use fat as the energy sourse. More important is it forcuses the bodybuilders mind on the single goal of lossing fat while maintaining muscle mass.

Tudor Original Maximum Strength

2009-08-24T16:30:00.011+02:00

When I first met Tudor Bompa in 1990 (before e-mail and even wide use of computers) much of the material he sent me was handwritten. I thought many of you would like to see what he had to say before years and years of editors got done with his work.

"Speed, power, agility, injury free, what have all these well known terms have in common? They are all based on the physical strength of the player. You can’t get more agile or powerful without getting stronger. That’s right, strength training time has come."

Jeg leste en interessant artikkel fra Manchester Uniteds hjemmeside som jeg ønsker å dele med dere. Det er et intervju med fitness treneren for laget. Kanskje Start kan lære noe av dem en gang i fremtiden?

Les hele artikkelen her.

In english:
I read an interesting piece from Mancester United's web page that I'd like to share. The piece is from a applicant for the job of fitness coach for the team. Maybe Start can learn something from this view of the future?

"How big a part does a fitness coach play in today's game or have they always played an important role?
The model we're starting to adopt in this country now is like those used in Southern Europe – the Italian model, the Spanish model and to a lesser extent the French model. Historically, the fitness role at a football club was often left to the physiotherapist. Over time clubs would bring in a running coach now and again, but that wasn't ideal because a footballer's fitness is different to that of a runner. Over the last fifteen to twenty years there has been an evolution within the game to adopt a more foreign approach and to have more specialist coaches in specialist areas of the training set-up. There is a much bigger emphasis on the physical preparation of footballers than ever before because of the number of games that players are involved in each season. For that reason virtually every Premier League club now has a fitness coach. Coaches don't just look at the training process nowadays, they look at the recovery process as well. At a club like United nothing can be left to chance. It's part of the manager's vision to leave no stone unturned and he fully recognises the importance of having a fitness coach. Hopefully I can play some part in helping the club remain at the forefront of the game."

Heavy Ab Training "The Answer"

2009-01-25T17:00:00.009+01:00

Why in the world would you train every muscle of the body with heavy weights and not the abdominals? It is just unbelievable to me to think people actually have fallen for the stupid abdominal programs that are written using body weight doing hundreds of repetitions.

Fashions Cover-up

2009-01-18T09:41:00.011+01:00

I can never get over how easy it is to fool people into thinking what is cool. The latest jeans fashion has to be the best.

Check out theses pictures and anyone can see the scam for what it is. since marketing people know that all women are unhappy with what they look like they have to come up with a new way to "cover it". So, what is the answer, lower the pockets and make them bigger. Boom, now anyone looking will have no idea what your ass really looks like. Now, that might be fine for the average person, but you fitness ladies shoud be really mad. All the time you spend in the gym to get a nice ass and you are suckered into wearing these pants to hide it.

This summer was another monumental point in the Thomas Story.

He went from 110 kilos to a ripped 88 kilos this summer,

6 kilos more than last summer, with an obvious increase

in Muscle size and density.

See the pictures of the Thomas story here:

http://www.box.net/shared/ck5qy142qs

Drug Free training: Yes you can!!!!!
There is so much talk about drug training these days in Norway that people seem to forget that it really is possible to get great gains without drugs. Thomas’s story is one of the best examples I have seen in my years of training bodybuilders.
With Thomas and the others we train at Lund we use the old tried and proven way to gain muscle size and weight, take it one step at a time.
Most guys don’t really think they can get bigger, so step one is gain the weight, that could be 5 kilos or 20 kilos depending on what your goal is. Once you have gained weight and see what you look like, then re-evaluate. You may be surprised and not be as fat as you thought you would be.
Once you have proven to yourself you “can” get bigger you can begin to revise your diet to either stay that size or go up or down.
This method of training works every time. See my other blogs for the programs and diets we use for these gains.

Muscle Heads to the rescue part II

2008-08-11T15:56:00.010+02:00

In Muscle Head to the rescue part I, I talked about the eating issues in many female athletes. Earlier this year it was much media attention about eating disorders among many female top athletes. It’s been some months now, and what has become of this media attention? My answer is: NOTHING! Another political storm where nobody said anything... it went away. Unfortunately we are now starting another fall of training with no answers for these female athletes because of the political infighting and media tension regarding the Olympics.

In my opinion, this is why small business will become more involved in sports in Norway. Small businesses can react and get things done in a short period of time and make needed changes without a hundred meetings and political games.

With the help of Proteinfabrikken, AK-28 and Lund Treningssenter (TBI), the attached nutrition project was set up and finished in record time. The results showed that for 22kroner a day, female athlete could have a healthier life and more efficient sports career. See the attached report.

To my english readers this article is the second in a series about the issues of girl athletes that compete at the international levels and how their eating disorders have been covered up so they can compete. This trickle downs to ever girl in sports in Norway. This, combines with the pressures put on the girls by the social pressures of having to be skinny and wear certain clothes has created a national crisis.

The top sports organizations will not endorse the use of protein and other suppiments even though Norway has virtually the strictest regulations in the world on these products.

My feelings is simple. Girls cannot, in 2008 eat enough normal food to get the needed calories a day they need to be healthy and compete in sports. The simple answer is what "muscle heads" learned years ago. Eat the best you can and use protein powders and other suppliments to get the amount required daily.

We shall see if the powers to be give in. Until then lots of girls are asking for help!

Tudor in Norway

2007-10-28T19:20:00.000+01:00

Jeg ble nettopp ferdig med, på hva jeg må si har vært de mest spennende ukene i mitt liv. Som student av Bompa og en lærer med hans materiale klarer jeg ikke forklare hvor spennende det var å tilbringe en uke med han i Sverige og Norge. Det er kun når man kan tilbringe så lang tid med en trener som Tudor, man virkelig kan verdsette hvor avanserte hans ideer er og hvor mye sports verden har å lære. Nå har jeg blogg materiale for flere år fremover.
Tudor fikk også endelig møte Gro-Marit med hennes gull medalje og gav en fin forelesning for studentene på UiA.

In english:
I just finished , what I must say was one of the most exciting weeks of my life. As a student of Bompa and a teacher of his material I cannot even begin to explain how great it was to spend a week with him in Sweden and Norway. Only when you can spend long periods of time with a trainer like Tudor can you really appreciate how advanced his ideas are and how much the sports world has to learn. I have enough blog material now for years to come.
Tudor finally got to meet Gro-Marit with her gold medal and gave a great talk to the students at UIA.

Siste nytt:
M og T historien fortsetter på websport24.com. Her kan du finne basis programmet jeg bruker når jeg setter folk i gang med treningen med et 5-6 dagers program. Siden kroppsbyggere her i Norge ikke er vandt med å trene hver kroppsdel 2 ganger i uken, starter jeg med dette programmet med basis bevegelser. Thomas var inne på kontoret mitt tidligere i uken og vi satt opp hans program for neste år. Nå som han er komfortabel og trygg på at det er mulig å øke i vekt, fokuserer vi neste år på bedre mage og større bryst. Jeg kommer til å snakke om dette i fremtiden.

Trenger du disse øvelsene eller noen annen informasjon vedrørende dette, skriv til meg.

2. Jeg drar til Sverige denne uken for å gi et seminar sammen med Tudor. Er tilbake neste uke for å gjøre det samme i UiA i Kristiansand onsdag 24 oktober. Alle er velkomne.

Latest news
The M and T story is continuing on websport24.com. Here you will find the basic program I am using to start people training on 5 to 6 day programs. Since most bodybuilders here in Norway are not use to training each bodypart 2xs a week, thus I must stat this program from the basic movements. Thomas was in my office the other day and we are setting up his program for next year. Now, after he is comfortable in the fact it is possible to gain weight, this years program will focus on better abs and a larger chest. I will talk about this in the future.

If you need these exercises or any of the information in english, just drop me a note.

I min siste post skrev jeg om at Dr. Tudor Bompa kom til Norge. Det ser ut som om ting blir bedre og bedre. Som nevnt tidligere, når Tudor startet TBI, Tudor Bompa Institute, spurte han meg om å være direktør for Skandinavia. Jeg godtok selvsagt uten å blinke og har arbeidet i 2 år for å få alt organisert, få materiellet oversatt og forsøkt å funnet det perfekte systemet som passer her i Norge og resten av Skandinavia. Nå er jeg endelig i mål og starter i januar det første senteret i Norge for sertifisering. Jeg har et sted å undervise og et vektrom å demonstrere i. Kursene vil primært foregå i helgene og over internett.

Klassene vil starte i januar 2008. For mer informasjon send meg en epost til musclecoach1@gmail.com

Well, I am finally ready. Starting in January I will open the first actual center for certification in Norway. I will have a place to teach and a weight room to teach in. The courses will run on weekends and through the internet.

The missing link to technique /aerobic sports

2007-09-08T13:29:00.001+02:00

Når jeg besøkte US Olympiske Senter i Colorado Springs denne sommeren, fikk jeg muligheten til å snakke med Bill Sands, Phd, om viktigheten med styrke trening i aerobisk/teknikk baserte sporter som langrenn, skiskyting, svømming og løpe sporter som orientering. Spørsmålet var, hvorfor blir teknikken dårligere? Er det pga dårlig aerobisk kondisjon eller er styrke en faktor? Når jeg trente det norske biatlon laget, ble det klart for meg at svakheter i stabiliserings musklene rundt scapula og beinene var hovedgrunnen til at teknikken falt. Dr. Sands belyser dette emnet i videoen nedenfor, og som vil være mitt hovedemne i den nærmeste fremtiden.

In english:
When visiting the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs this summer I had the chance to speak with Bill Sands, Phd on the importance of strength training in aerobic/technique based sports such as X-country skiing, swimming and running sports such as orienteering. The question was, why does technique break down? Is it because of lack of aerobic conditioning or is there a strength factor involved. When I trained the Norwegian Biathlon team it was becoming clear to me that weakness in the stabilizer muscles of the scapula and legs was a major cause of technique failure. Dr. Sands addresses this issue in the attached video. This topic will be one of the top issues I will talk about in the near future.

Velkommen til min blogg

2007-09-02T10:02:00.000+02:00

Velkommen til min blog. Denne bloggen, i likhet med www.styrketrener.no, er dedikert til atleter som virkelig ønsker det beste og som vil se andre synspunkter på trening. Det som gjør denne siden ulik de andre siden er mine muligheter for å oppdatere den selv! Det er ikke som i gamle dager, takket være Google. Bloggen vil både være på norsk og engelsk. Jeg både prater og forstår norsk, så hvis du har noen kommentarer bruk gjerne norsk. Engelske biten er for mine venner og studenter i andre deler av verden som ønsker å få med seg hva jeg bråker og jamrer over. Du kan se under linker for å lese mer om meg.

Som amerikaner i Norge i 10 år har jeg vært involvert i forskjellige sporter og fitness. Jeg har observert og erfart mange ting, og mye jeg ikke har vært enig i. Flere fortalte meg, når jeg uttrykte mine egne synspunkter, at det var kulturelle forskjeller fra Norge og USA og at jeg måtte være tålmodig. Det har jeg nå vært, men ingenting har endret seg! Ingen reiser seg opp og uttrykker meningene sine. Atleter er de samme her som i USA, og de ønsker å høre meninger og synspunkter som kan gjøre dem til bedre utøvere. Takk igjen til Google, vil denne siden være en måte for dere å få andre synspunkter på. Mitt syn basert på min erfaring selvsagt, og så er det opp til deg selv å avgjøre hvor du står.

Denne siden er for atletene, foreldrene og de få trenerne som virkelig ønsker seg det beste. De som har sanset at noe kan bli bedre, men ikke helt vet hva. Dette er noe jeg skal skrive om. "Janteloven" for eksempel, den vil aldri endre seg sa de. For noe tull! Grunnen til at den aldri endrer seg er fordi ingen har mot nok til å innse og stå opp å fortelle det til andre, spesielt unge jenter, hvor dum hele loven. Skam til de trenerne som ikke ser hva dette gjør med de unge og fremdeles ikke gjør noe med det. Det er psykologien i treningen.

Kostholdet for unge mennesker er et godt eksempel. Både for atletene og mosjonistene som ønsker å trene og se bra ut. Det har vært så mye press om dette emnet i Norge de siste årene, og dette har påvirket spisevanene. Desverre har ikke dette presset ført til at andre tar steget og gir svaret til de som lurer på dette. Jeg klarer nesten ikke vente med å bringe dette emnet opp!

Sist men ikke minst, styrketrening eller trening med vekter som er mitt favorittfelt. For mange i Norge er dette et helt nytt felt. Når de største landene i verden bruker styrketrening og avanserte fitness programmer for å øke deres atleter prestasjoner og karrierelengde, ligger Norge langt etter grunnet manglende kvalifiserte trenere. De fleste lagsporter har ingen ide om hvordan å bruke styrketrening for å bedre prestasjonen til sine utøvere. Dette kommer jeg virkelig til å ta opp!

Mange unge mennesker, jenter og gutter, ønsker ikke holde på med sport lengre men vil fremdeles trene og melder seg inn i treningsstudio på jakt etter en fin kropp. Dette skal jeg også dra opp.

Det er det for i dag. Nok en gang ønsker jeg deg velkommen til bloggen min. Jeg håper du vil like deg her og at du finner informasjonen like nyttig og nyter den like mye som jeg liker å presentere den.
