Mass Machine Training Cardio

Many people have asked:

“What type of cardiovascular training is Tyrus Reed doing to get ready for his contest and how many sessions per week does he do?”

Here are the basics to what he did:

• First of all, he focused on his nutritional habits to get lean and ripped for his contest far, far more than his cardiovascular training strategy.

• Although cardiovascular training has its place and plays its part in the contest preparation process, I believe it is highly overrated in terms of importance in the big picture by most people.

• Tyrus used Mass Machine Training Cardio exclusively – 20-minute high-intensity cardiovascular training sessions.

• Mass Machine Training Cardio delivers RESULTS in a less complicated fashion, in the most effective manner, in the most the most efficient manner, and in the shortest period of time.

• The overriding theme of Mass Machine Training Cardio is that each cardiovascular training session is RESULTS DRIVEN. This means that the “end result” or ultimate goal is to make every session “better” than the last one in terms of PRODUCTIVITY. Once certain standards in terms of productivity are established, you are COMMITTED to never perform anything less than that standard. You will either beat your best effort–or figuratively “die trying” to beat your best effort. And, most importantly, you are always striving to establish a new and higher standard–no matter how challenging it may to beat in the future.

• The Recumbent Bike is used for every single Mass Machine Training Cardio session. That way, each session can be measured and compared EQUALLY in terms of productivity to any other session performed. There’s no room for rationalization and guesswork measuring if a session would have been “as good” if you used the same type of cardiovascular machine or method.

• In addition, no skill is required to go “all out” on the Recumbent Bike. Running, Stair Climbers, Gaunlets, Rowing Machines, and even Elliptical Machines require a certain amount of skill. Mass Machine Training Cardio is all about getting your heart rate up, lungs pumping air, and revving up your metabolism to INITIATE the fat loss process. Many people don’t realize that very little (if any) fat is burned during cardiovascular training–no matter how long or intense your session is. Cardiovascular training, for the most part, gets the fat loss process going–and helps continue it throughout your day.

• If you are easily bored and must have a lot of variety when doing cardiovascular training or you just won’t follow through like you should, then Mass Machine Training Cardio is probably not for you. This form of cardiovascular training is designed for RESULTS DRIVEN people. Those are people who don’t care so much HOW they get the results–as long as they GET the results in the most effective, most efficient, and shortest period of time.

• “More productivity” can mean more calories burned registered when the session is over; more distance traveled when the session was over; registering higher RPMs during the entire session–or parts of it; using a higher resistance level during the entire session-or parts of it; or hopeful, all of the previously mentioned considerations.

• Those are standards that can be concretely and objectively measured. There’s no guessing or subjectivity.

• Whether you choose to use a steady, consistent resistance level or interval resistance training–it doesn’t matter. Remember, you are RESULTS DRIVEN during Mass Machine Training Cardio–not “process driven.” In other words, it doesn’t matter HOW you get better measured results than last time–as long as you get them!

• You should know exactly what you plan to accomplish at the end of each session and what “numbers” you’ll need to beat BEFORE your butt even sits in the seat. In fact, after a couple of weeks of Mass Machine Training Cardio, you should know at given points in time throughout the workout what your estimated RESULTS should be to achieve your desired outcome. You should never be “surprised” at the end whether you exceeded or fell short of your goal.

Tyrus’ specifics:

• 9 months before the contest, Tyrus did 3 sessions each week.

• With about 5 months before the show, he did 5 sessions each week.

• Until about 12-weeks before the show, he did his cardio sessions immediately after his weight training.

• At the 12-week point, he did each session as far away from his weigh training session as possible. This was about 7 hours for him.

• At the 8-week point, he started doing 9 sessions a week. One session during his training days and two sessions a day on his two non-training days.

• All of these decisions were based on the leanness or conditioning he was in at the particular time–and how much time was left before the contest.

• All the way until his show, Tyrus had apple and Skip La Cour’s Mass Machine Whey Protein BEFORE every cardio session and, immediately AFTERWARDS, banana and Skip La Cour’s Mass Machine Whey Protein. Depending on where he was in the contest preparation process, the servings of each were from 2 down to 1/2.
