THEORY
The most important point of the Micro Weight System is to control the weight increases, so
that the
body is able to grow in size and strength without failure or injury. This system is only
effective if the weight training exercise is being performed with proper form and with
controlled movement. This system will not apply to any weight training exercises being
done with improper form. With this system, as the weight you are using gets
heavier (even
if the weight increases remain the same), the percentage that you are increasing drops
slightly every workout. For example, if I am working out on the bench press with 350# and
taking 5 oz. increases, I am increasing .09% for the first workout only. This percentage
decreases slightly, with each workout, as the weight gets heavier.
Using this system allows us to find the weight increases that the muscle will be able to
handle consistently without failure or injury. When you increase your workout weight the
percentage of weight used is decreased.
When muscle gets to its maximum size for the amount of blood that it gets, your body will
actually produce more blood vessels in that muscle. This is called Angiogenesis.
This takes place when the body feels that the muscle is to the point where it needs more blood
flow to feed and rebuild the muscle that has grown in size.
Through years of research this system was designed to work with the body to accomplish
maximum performance from a muscle group without failure or injury. In our
research we have discovered that the large muscle groups, such as the legs and back etc.,
are able to handle between 3 oz. and 5 oz. gains consistently without failure or
injury. The smaller muscle groups, such as the forearm, hand, and triceps etc. are only
able to handle small gains of between 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. per workout. In summary, we learned
that by using this weight system along with having proper form and movement in the weight
training exercises, the muscles could grow in strength and size consistently without
failure or injury. This makes this system unique for the body and the mind. To date, we have
been unable to find a point at which there is muscle failure using the Micro Weight System.
KEY
Failure - unable to complete full range
of motion
Injury - damage to soft tissue ligaments, tendons, or muscles
