Edited by Antonio Rubbino Limitations to the law of thermodynamics The idea of ​​"calorie is a calorie" is the basis of dietetics; it refers to the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is a constant, cannot be generated from nothing, nor be destroyed, but can only be transformed. Th

Edited by Massimiliano Ratta The meaning of intensity in training: produce the maximum effort possible in the unit of time. It is not in the purpose of this article to go into the varied descriptive meanings of the term "training intensity", since there are already very comprehensive articles written by professors and competent colleagues on the subject

Edited by Antonio Rubbino The bodyrecomp Hypertrophic Training routine Each session consists of 6 exercises, 4 sets per exercise, repetitions in the 6/8 range per series. The execution rate in seconds is: 1-1-2; a second concentric phase (when you load the load), a second wait in the total shortening phase (when the muscle or muscle group you are training reaches the maximum contraction; a couple of examples to make you understand: when the bar reaches the chin during the execution of the curl, phase in which the handlebars touch in the execution of the crosses) and 2 seconds eccentric phase (t

By Dr. Antonio Parolisi Fasting is a physiological condition of the animal body (including man), which triggers a series of mechanisms that put biological systems in a position to generate energy from bodily storage sources.

Designed in the late 70s by Brian Johnston , it is based on the concept of breaking down the complete ROM of an exercise into several parts (2 or 3, based on the width of the ROM itself), in order to maximize the muscular burden in every part of the ROM (range of motion) precisely

Currently, especially in some magazines of the sector, we are - in my opinion - witnessing a real marketing operation in which the by now classic " genius " on duty " invents " monthly (followed, incidentally, by the inevitable book to support of what is proposed ...) this or that on training (generally, short, intense and infrequent, given that for now the "fashion" is this)

Edited by: Francesco Currò One of the "fashions" of recent times, has been to derive the work protocols of bodybuilding training ... more or less demonstrated (personally I would say, anything but proven ...) evolutionary theories ...
