Doing high intense work without having a proper base=Injury!! Jumping into a training program that requires your body to exert high amounts of force, and remember from physics F=MA, is not advised and will no doubt cause either acute or chronic injury. Increasing the amount of force whether thats increasing the weight lifted or speed at which the weight is lifted causes many neurological adaptations to take place and serves for the basis of further allowing your body to adapt; however, without any base your body is not properly primed to perform such tasks at a high enough intensity to ellicit the proper response needed to effectively benefit from the exercise. Sure you may become a little stronger and start to lose some body fat but at what cost? This is one of the number one areas both trainers and everyday gym goers go wrong. Starting to intense right away and missing out on all of the adaptations that should first take place such as increasing range of motion, improving mobility, improving neuromuscular efficiency, and overall improving basic strength and motor skills. Im one of the biggest advocates that nutrition will no doubt play at least 80% of your results; however, without a strength base you simply cant perform high end exercises properly and expect to really progress at them. It would be like starting a program and doing 10x3 or 8x4 or whatever other higher end set/rep scheme. How do you progress at something when you start so high right away? This is where the problems start. Now Ive been there myself and have had to regress back as well so I by no means am a saint at programming. Again the problem starts when you put far to much stress on your nervous system and muscular system right away then have little room to further progress your training and when you cant do that you cant receive those hard earned adaptations. Same thing goes for cardiovascular work. If you start doing 3 hours of cardiovascular work a week you have to continuously progress to receive new adaptation. By the end of three or four weeks you find yourself having to do 5,6,7 hours of cardio then before you know it youre caught in over training syndrome. Obviously im all for putting in hard work, but make sure you go about it the smart way as well. As always stay healthy my friends!!
