The Pre-Exhaust Training Cycle
The general philosophy applied to Evolved programming across the board can be seen in the blog about lengthened overload. The general principles discussed there will apply to this cycle, as well. However, there are a few big differences. For one, this current cycle is...
The Lengthened ROM + Partials Cycle
Alright, the science continues to pile on with support for training exercises at “long muscle lengths.” There are now 7+ studies in the last few years that all have demonstrated an advantage to training in this manner. At Evolved, we were on top of this a year ago,...
Power Building 2.0
In the winter of 2019/2020, just prior to the Pandemic, Evolved released its first POWERBUILDING cycle. The response was overwhelmingly positive, as the concept of “Power Building” has been at the forefront of program design in the fitness space. Powerbuilding has...
Progressing the Stimulus Blog
Intensity: Progressing the Stimulus Since the beginning of my hypertrophy style programming, I have always favored an approach that increases effort week to week. For the last couple years, this has meant starting a 4-week training block around 3-4 reps from failure,...
Ascending RPE Hypertrophy Cycle
Phase potentiation is the idea that one block of training will provide leverage for additional progress in subsequent blocks. This process was described in detail in the blog post about the “strength and metabolite” cycle, which preceded this current hypertrophy...Recent Posts
