EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LACTIC ACID TRAINING: Are you looking to cut your body fat levels while at the same time building some new muscle? Perhaps Lactic Acid Training is right for you! Let’s examine how lactic acid works, then design a workout routine which will allow you to make the most of it. First, let’s review the basics on lactic acid. When you train any muscle group, the oxygen in that muscle group is removed with each successive repetition. This oxygen-less environment delivers a byproduct called lactic acid. It is usually accompanied with noticeable pain, a burn or ‘pump’ as it is famously known. Lactic acid produces small amounts of growth hormone. Growth hormone, of course, builds new muscle and spurns the fat loss process in the body. Overall, this is why we train with weights. Take all of the science out of it, and we’re still moving weights in order to build muscle and shed body fat. The goal of Lactic Acid Training is to stimulate the release of as much lactic acid as possible during your workout routine. Essentially, each workout will be cut into a series of 30 to 50 mini-sessions in which you will train to maximum lactic acid release on each and every set. You will take 15 to 30 seconds to compose yourself, stretch, and break up the acid which has built up in the muscle groups, and then you will target the next muscle group. This will continue from set to set until you have spent an hour maximizing your pump like never before – resulting in the release of growth hormone to build new muscle and shed fat, like never before. Welcome to Lactic Acid Training! The training itself will resemble a standard circuit training routine. You will move from machine to machine, with a few exceptions. You aren’t trying to move a certain amount of weight. You aren’t trying to hit any certain repetition. The bottom line is that you tackle each exercise with the sole intention of releasing lactic acid. Every set should be dedicated to that burn, that pain, that feeling of complete muscle engorgement which is seen at the end of each set when lactic acid is released. Lactic Acid Training gets easier with time. Check out the 1970s film “Pumping Iron” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger for a primer on how the top bodybuilders of the world loved training for lactic acid release – keeping in mind this was 40 years ago when the science was far from complete. Top athletes of that era to today know full well the gains to be made when training for maximum lactic acid release. And now – so do you!
