If
you're a fan of efficient training (I know I am!) and getting the most
out of every single rep you do, you're going to LOVE the concept behind
my new book "Hybrid Training"...
using multiple types of resistance AT THE SAME
TIME to more fully work the target muscle with NO ADDITIONAL EFFORT.
And just to be clear,
when I say "no additional effort," I'm not saying for a second
that these techniques are going to be easy...in fact, they're going
to be MUCH harder than regular exercises simply because your muscles
are going to get NO break as they do in regular exercises. The extreme
muscle-building tension you get from this type of training is absolutely
PHENOMENAL, and has to be experienced to be believed.
When I say "no
additional effort" I mean that you're already training hard - you
need something that will give you better results for the effort you're
ALREADY putting in.
THAT is "Hybrid Training"
From: Nick Nilsson
Tuesday, 9:18 a.m.
Dear Friend,
I want to teach
you one of THE single most powerful and "outside the box"
secrets that I've discovered in my 17 years of training. It's not
something I learned when I was studying for my degree in Physical Education
(though the advanced biomechanics, kinesiology, physiology and anatomy
courses did help!). And it's not something I learned in my 9 years of
personal training either...
But it IS something
I learned when I really started thinking outside the box and looking
for ways to overcome the limitations of specific exercises, like those
I mentioned above (bench press, squats, dumbell flyes, etc.). After
all, they're great exercises...but why not make them better!
The secret I'm talking
about is this: you DON'T have to limit yourself to using only one
form of resistance at a time! Once you know how it's done, you can
easily utilize TWO forms of resistance at the very same time, hitting
your muscles nearly twice as hard with the same amount of time and effort.
This extraordinary
concept is the foundation of "Hybrid Training."
So why is "Hybrid Training" so much
more efficient and so much more powerful than regular training? How
is it going to build more muscle?
|
First, "Hybrid
Training" allows you to keep continuous tension on the
muscles through their full range of motion. Continuous tension
is one of the most powerful muscle building techniques in existence...
your muscles THRIVE on tension and when they get no break,
you get more muscle mass. It's that simple.
Now, when
I say continuous tension, with a "normal" exercise this
means no lockout and no full stretch on the exercise, i.e. no
break. For example, if you're doing a barbell curl, you would
do only the middle 3/4 of the movement, never letting your arms
straighten out and never coming all the way up to the top - just
curling in the middle. By the end of the set, your biceps will
be absolutely SCREAMING from the tension.
But the downside
is, to get this powerful continuous tension in a regular exercise,
you can only use a limited range of motion and a reduced amount
of weight. You have to stop short of the top and stop short of
the bottom AND you have to use lighter weight to even be able
to keep the tension on the muscles long enough to be effective.
Not
with "Hybrid Training"
|
 |
When you put "Hybrid
Training" into effect, you combine TWO forms of resistance that
cancel out each other's weak points and allow you to apply continuous
tension to the muscles through their ENTIRE range of motion. This also
allows you to use more total weight than you'd be able to use with a
pure continuous tension style of rep.
Want
an example? Think of a dumbell press for your chest...the
most powerful part of this exercise is near the bottom where your pecs
are getting the most stretch and the most tension. But what happens
as you come to the top of the press? When you bring the dumbells close
together, you start to lose tension in the pecs and the stress goes
onto your joints and bones. The weak point of this exercise is near
the top.
In the graph below,
you'll see as you move from left to right, you get high tension at the
bottom of the movement (the bottom of the Dumbell Bench Press) and it
tapers down to low tension as you get to the top.

Now think of the
cable flye (lying on a bench between two pulley machines, using the
two single handles to perform a flye movement). Because of the pull
of the cables, you get very little tension on the pecs at the bottom
of the movement. But as you bring the handles together over your body,
the tension increases until it maxes out when you bring your hands together
at the top. The most powerful part of this exercise is right at the
top and the weak point is at the bottom.
In the graph below,
you'll see as you move left to right, you start with very little tension,
gradually building up to maximum tension at the top.

Now, using the techniques
I'll show you in "Hybrid Training," you're going to COMBINE
BOTH EXERCISES into one single movement (and this NOT a superset
but you'll be actually performing BOTH exercises at the same time!).
You will get maximum tension on the pecs at the bottom, stretched position
(from the dumbell press) AND maximum tension on the pecs at the top,
fully-contracted position (from the cable flye).
Note in the graph
below, as you move from left to right, you start with high tension (from
the dumbell press) then as that gradually decreases, the tension from
the cable flye (that you are doing at the same time) gradually INCREASES
until you get to the top.
So rather than completely
losing tension at any point at all in the exercise, you keep tension
on through the ENTIRE exercise and maximize it at the two most powerful
points in the movement...full stretch and full contraction.

Just imagine
how trashed your pecs are going to be at the end of THAT set! And just
imagine the results you're going to get from that trashing!
Now imagine taking
this exercise-combination technique and applying it to every other part
of your body! You're going to learn...
- how to modify
the barbell bent-over row to not only get vertical resistance (from
the barbell) but horizontal resistance (from a cable). When you do
a regular bent-over row, you only get tension as you're pulling the
barbell up. But with "Hybrid Training," you can combine
this with a cable row to get forward-pulling tension on the exercise
as well. You'll get continuous tension that follows the exact optimum
path of the bar in the exercise. Bottom line: HUGE pump in your
back muscles! Even if you've never been able
to feel your back working well before...your muscles simply
won't have a choice with this!
- how to combine
barbell lying triceps extensions with cable lying tricep extensions
to maximize both the stretched AND contracted positions of the movement.
With a regular barbell extension, you get full tension in the stretched
position but almost noting at the top. When you add in the cable extension,
you get full tension at the top as well! I can promise your triceps
will be ON FIRE by the end of the set - it's
one of the fastest ways to bigger arms you'll ever find.
- how to use the
cable cross-over machine to attack the shoulders from an angle they've
never been hit from before...at the same time as you're performing
dumbell presses for the shoulders! You see, in a typical dumbell shoulder
press, you lose tension at the top - the resistance is just being
applied straight up and down. Add in sideways-pulling resistance while
you're pressing (from the cables), and the shoulders are forced not
only to support the weight of the dumbells but actively pull the cables
together overhead. This exercise combination is the CURE for stubborn
shoulders. Even the bottom of the exercise gives you no rest because
the cables are STILL pulling the dumbells out to the sides. It's a
killer cure!
- one of the most
powerful lower-back building exercises you will EVER use. This combines
a regular barbell deadlift with a cable deadlift so not only are you
using heavy weights on the barbell, your lower back is forced to actively
pull up and back against the cable resistance. Let me tell you, this
exercise makes the regular deadlift feel like a walk in the park.
And if you've never felt a pump in your lower back, you're going to
be in for a surprise! At the end of the first set, your lower back
is going to feel like it's made of spring steel.
- how to combine
barbell Preacher Curls with cable Preacher Curls to effectively ELIMINATE
the loss of tension at the top of the barbell version. Imagine doing
a Preacher Curl that doesn't allow you a single second to rest your
biceps. You get a great stretch at the bottom and a HUGE contraction
at the top with FULL muscle-building tension from start to finish.
You'll hardly be able to lift your arm to scratch your nose by
the time you're done with this one.
- how to mash-up
dumbell leg curls with machine leg curls to not only maximize the
stretched and contracted positions of the movement but how to add
an INCREDIBLE amount of tension to the adductors. This will hit
your hamstrings extremely hard. And strong adductors? Critical
for a bigger squat.
I
could go on like this with multiple exercises for your ENTIRE BODY.
The concepts of "Hybrid Training" can be applied WITHOUT MERCY
to every single major muscle group in your body.
The bottom line:
these "continuous tension" exercises will help you gain muscle
and help you build strength at a DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATED RATE.
And the great thing
is, "Hybrid Training" uses equipment
you ALREADY have access to at any gym - cables, barbells
and dumbells. If you don't have access to a cable machine, I'll show
you exactly how to get around that as well, using other training tools
such as training bands!
** Definitely keep
in mind, because Hybrid Training utilizes multiple forms of resistance,
to get the full effect of this training concept
you WILL need to have access to not only free weights but another
form of resistance as well (such as cables or bands) to add into the
mix. **
And I can promise
you, once you learn the secrets of "Hybrid Training," you'll
be hooked!
Now "Hybrid Training" doesn't stop with
the extraordinary results of continuous tension...it
also demolishes another MAJOR limitation of standard exercise technique:
changes in the strength curve.
A strength curve
is something you're already familiar with if you've done any lifting
at all. Even if you've never heard the name before, you know its effects
- it's the change in leverage of your body and limbs as you move through
an exercise. It's the reason you can use more weight at the very top
of the bench press than you can at the bottom... you have better leverage
at the top!
Because if you think
about it, you can only use as much weight as your muscles can
handle at their WEAKEST point! It's like the analogy of a chain
being only as strong as it's weakest link.
Thank about it...when
you're doing standard full-range reps of the bench press, YOU ARE LIMITING
YOURSELF TO THE WEAKEST LINK and it's the single greatest limitation
holding back your strength and muscle gains in that exercise!
In the graph below,
you'll see the thick bar across the bottom. This is the actual weight
you have on the bar. The Sticking Point is that point about 1/4 of the
way up where your leverage is at it's worst. It's exact spot varies
from person to person but when you fail, THIS is where you fail.
This means you
can ONLY do full range reps with as much weight as you can handle at
exactly that point.
But if you keep
moving to the right on the graph, you'll see that the actual leverage
and therefore strength capabilities of your muscles keep on going up!
The problem you see here is that the resistance DOES NOT. You are still
STUCK using only the same, minimal amount of resistance that you were
able to push past the very weakest point of the exercise.

So how do we fix that?
 |
That's where
"Hybrid Training" comes in...it
not only takes the specific strength curves of exercises into
account, it also uses additional targeted
resistance to more closely match the specific strength
curve of an exercise.
In plain
English, it means you get ALL the resistance you can handle at
the bottom of the bench press (through the weakest point) and
ALL the resistance you can handle all the way to the top!
This is something that is typically only possible with machines
built with resistance-altering cams.
But you're
going to discover that it's also possible (and WAY more effective!)
with free weights!
So instead
of wasting the majority of a bench press rep by
using only as much weight as your muscles can handle in their
weakest ranges, you're going to take FULL advantage of the ENTIRE
RANGE OF MOTION from top to bottom.
|
This is achieved
not only with combinations of different resistances (like I gave examples
of above) but through the use of one of the best training tools I've
ever come across...heavy duty elastic training bands.
If you've ever heard
of Louie Simmons and the Westside Barbell Club, you know that they know
SERIOUS STRENGTH. Their membership is like a roll-call of champion lifters.
As part of his strength training protocols, Louie has also pioneered
the use of bands (and chains) for changing the resistances of exercises
to better match the actual strength curves of exercises.
So when we add training
bands to the Barbell Bench Press, check out how the resistance changes...you
use just enough resistance to get past the sticking point, then as you
press up, the bands start adding additional resistance, challenging
your muscles more and more as their leverage gets better and better!

Bands are among
THE most effective training tools you can use...and bands
are what I'm going to teach you how to use to get absolutely ASTONISHING
results.
I'm not only going
to show you EXACTLY how to train with bands but I'm going to give you
all the tips that I've come up with for making these techniques better.
I'll even show you how to adapt the band training to your own available
equipment! This is a detailed "how-to" guide to help you get
the most out of training with bands, not only as great direct resistance
but also as assistance and even by ALTERING THE ACTUAL DIRECTION
of resistance!
You'll learn...
- how to use bands
to lift more than ONE HUNDRED POUNDS above your current one rep max
bench press in a FULL RANGE OF MOTION. This technique seriously overloads
not only the muscles but the connective tissue as well, which is one
of the keys to building REAL BRUTE STRENGTH.
I'll even show you the exercise variation (using the bands) that allowed
me, at a bodyweight of 195 lbs, to bench
press 455 lbs! And here's the best part...I have pretty
much no biomechanical talent for bench press at all! It's one
of my worst lifts. This stuff is absolutely GOLD if you're desperate
to get a big bench!
- different methods
for anchoring bands on bench press, squats and deadlifts to build
extraordinary explosive power out of the bottom of the lifts. The
bottom is generally the hardest part of each of those lifts - these
band techniques will develop mindblowing strength to help you literally
BLAST your way out of the bottom of each of those lifts. If you've
ever found yourself stuck at the bottom of a big lift, you NEED this
information.
- how to use bands
to alter the direction the resistance is coming from. Imagine doing
a normal standing calf raise...picture how, as you come up on your
toes, your heels come up and forward. Now imagine using bands to add
resistance to that small forward movement! You not only get the direct
downward resistance of the weight on the calf machine, you get direct
backwards-pulling resistance against calves as they also try to push
the body forward. The effect on the calves is HUGE - it's a synergistic
application of force that your calves will have NEVER experienced
before!
And this trick can also be applied to the flat bench press to throw
WAY more tension on the upper pecs! Because when you anchor the bands
in a specific way, the upper chest is forced do MUCH more of the work.
It hits the upper pec fibers like you wouldn't believe!
- where you can
get heavy-duty training bands at excellent prices. Forget those
skinny latex aerobics elastics - these bands
are designed for serious punishment. I constantly beat
the tar out of my set of bands with tremendously heavy weights and
they take everything I dish out.
But
it's not just all about weights and massive strength..."Hybrid
Training" can even be applied to bodyweight training!
|
With the
right techniques, you can use bands, cables and free weight to
add resistance to almost ANY bodyweight exercise. Because
bodyweight exercises are, quite simply, some of the very best
exercises for maximizing muscle fiber recruitment. For example,
a chin-up will ALWAYS build a better back than a pulldown. It's
just a fact.
But what if
you can't do a full chin-up on your own? You can use OTHER training
tools (like bands) to help take up some of the resistance of your
body, following the exact strength curve of the exercise - with
proper use, you can get more help at the bottom (where you need
it) and less help at the top (where you're stronger).
It'll allow
you to build up the strength to do full reps of the exercise completely
on your own!
|
 |
And if you can do
plenty of reps on your own and need MORE resistance? You can not only
use bands for extra resistance (in a way that matches the strength curve
of the exercise - less resistance at the bottom, more at the top) but
also use a cable machine to change the direction that the extra resistance
pulls on you (to better match the optimal path of resistance of the
exercise!).
"Hybrid Training"
takes bodyweight training to a whole new level! It can be used with
push-ups, crunches, lunges, chin-ups, and many more!
But don't just take my word for it...check out what these top
professional trainers have to say about "Hybrid Training"...

resistance barbells or dumbbells that come close to creating
constant resistance through the entire range of an exercise,
rep after rep.
Your
eBook solves this training problem
through a detailed introduction of a unique training principle
which combines two different types of blowtorch-intensive resistance
within a select exercise.
I seriously
want to experience the ultimate surge of new muscle growth from
the time I invest in my personal training endeavors, as hundreds
of other bodybuilders do, and one of the ways I can be guaranteed
of this is to master the valuable information contained in your
comprehensive 'Hybrid Training' eBook.
