By hacking into the physiology of how your body responds to weights training, and making small changes to your training dosage and nutrition to support these training-hacks, you can enhance your ability to not only build more lean muscle tissue but also get stronger for the same amount of effort as you or your clients are currently putting in.
By combining science of programming together with a deeper understanding of how exactly the human body responds at a cellular level to resistance and strength training, you can create better programmes not just for one-single session, but for months and even years of training!
By understanding the deeper physiological science of what happens when we cause damage to our muscles and nerves, you can become the master of your own biohacking strategies to enhance how both you and your clients get leaner muscle and stronger!
Matt Cotterill has created this super-science filled online course to teach you just how to hack your body and improve your strength and muscle gains.
Chapter 1 General Adaptation Syndrome
To understand that the human body has a general adaptive response to all forms of stress.
An overview of Hans Selye's research and his finding on stress and adaptation
To understand how this general adaptive response is impacted by different magnitudes of stress.
To understand how to use this knowledge to create better training and recovery strategies for our clients.
Chapter 2 Adaptation to Resistance Training – Central Adaptations
Understand the role of forces in the movement.
Understanding the structure and function of the Nervous system
Understand how nerves recruit specific muscle fibres based on Henneman's Size Principle
Understand how the nervous system allows the body to apply these forces.
Understand how the nervous system adapts when we challenge its ability to produce force.
Understand how we can enhance those adaptations via different training strategies.
Chapter 3 Adaptation to Resistance Training – Peripheral Adaptations
Understand the basic physiological structure of muscle tissue,
Understand the sliding filament theory how the contractile properties of the muscle work to produce force
What is hypertrophy and how these contractile properties adapt in response to resistance training
Physical & nutritional strategies to enhance specific adaptations
