Review of Bull Strength Conditioning

Jedd Johnson — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:18:06 +0000

If you want to get lean but hate normal cardio and love a challenging workout, then I’ve got great news for you.

Coach Joe Hashey has put something together that is going to help you out, big time: Bull Strength Conditioning.

Joe has put together some of his most intense conditioning exercises that he uses with his athletes and he is unleashing it to the rest of us who want to feel more athletic and look better.

Joe has assembled a go-to list of intervals, circuits, and other back-to-back-to-back combinations of exercises that you can use to elevate your heart rate and start shedding fat.

Who is Coach Joe Hashey?

Joe Hashey is a Strength and Conditioning Coach in Endwell, New York. You’ve probably seen his videos – in fact you’ve probably seen him in our videos, because he’s trained with us many times.

Joe works with athletes on a daily basis and understands how important it is to be able to manage time in a workout.

Joe doesn’t mess around with his training. In fact, he does a lot of the same things that we have been doing here at Diesel for years: Powerlifting, Strongman, Grip, Oly, Bodyweight, etc.

What is Bull Strength Conditioning?

In one word – Intensity! Bull Strength Conditioning is a collection of 21 freakin’ intense circuits that will get you shredded. Joe’s combinations maximize your training effects in a short time.

Best Thing about Bull Strength?

Convenience: My favorite thing about the Bull Strength Manual is that I’m not going to have to page through an endless succession of circuits to find one I want to do. Joe threw in his top 21 blends of training and intensity. I’m going to print it out, staple it together, and flip to a combo for a finisher after each workout.

What Sets Bull Strength Conditioning Apart?

Matching Circuit Disciplines & Names: Not only does Joe set up some rugged pairings, he also gives them a fitting name. How about Leg Murder? One Second Bedlam? Fire? These circuits are no joke!

Negatives about BSC?

Picture Quality: I like to be honest when I review something so there are no surprises. As with any product or program, there are hits and misses, my stuff included. The one thing I did notice about Joe’s new manual was the picture quality – it was a little grainy. That’s the only criticism I can give for this manual. Regardless, you can still see exactly what Joe’s talking about.

Why Buy Bull Strength Conditioning here?

If you buy from my affiliate link and forward me your Clickbank Receipt, I will send you back a done-for-you 8-week Grip Training Program, complete with video demonstration of all the exercises as well as a printable document you can take with you to the gym when you do the exercises. Each workout contains a primary lift and two secondary lifts arranged in pairings that are done back to back. I designed this 8-week program to be the perfect compliment to Joe’s circuit style workouts in Bull Strength Conditioning. This link is an affiliate link and I do get a portion of the sale money – that is why I put together this killer bonus.

Don’t Take My Word for It. Here is some more feedback on Bull Strength Conditioning:

“I was lucky enough to be asked by Joe to review Bull Strength Conditioning and I have to say he is absolutely insane to give it away at this price – put it together with Jedd’s grip training and you’ll be one scary athlete – Get this awesome deal now and take your fitness and strength to the next level!!!”
Barry Gibson

“I highly, highly recommend this program, I just bought it a few days ago, I love it, The bonuses are enough to stand on their own right!!!

COMPLEX TRAINING

Guest Blog Post from Franklin Joyner, Triumph Athletics

The beauty of complex training (CT) is that it’s simple and it works. CT is the blending of strength and speed. In essence, CT is nothing more than a ME exercise immediately followed by a DE exercise. This is an enormously effective style of training. To better understand why it is so effective we will first need to look at the science behind CT.

The Science Behind Complex Training

The Maximum Effort

Every muscle within the human body acts on a specific principle called the All or Nothing Principle. The muscle as a whole can produce varying levels of force, but an individual fiber is only capable of producing its own amount of force. If more force is required, then more fibers are recruited. The key is that when a muscle fiber is innervated by the central nervous system, the fiber is totally and completely activated. There is no varying degree of activation. It is all or nothing.

The Size Principle demands that small/slow Type I fibers are recruited first and as more force is required bigger/faster Type II fibers are recruited to complete the effort. Thus, muscle fiber recruitment is regulated by required force. In the unfatigued muscle, a sufficient number of muscle fibers will be recruited to supply the desired force. Initially, desired force may be accomplished with little or no involvement of Type II fast motor units. However, as slow units become fatigued and fail to produce force, fast units will be recruited as the CNS attempts to maintain desired force production by recruiting more muscle fibers. Consequently, the same force production in fatigued muscle will require a greater number of muscle fibers. This additional recruitment brings in fast, but more quickly fatigued fibers. In layman’s terms, if you want to lift a lot of weight you must teach your CNS to become proficient at innervating the biggest/fastest fibers. The best way to do this is by lifting near maximum weight. This is the primary goal of the ME exercise.

The Dynamic Effort

Dynamic effort is best defined as lifting a non-maximal load with the greatest speed possible. Some examples of DE training are plyometrics, Olympic lifting, and shock training. DE training is important for one main reason: The Recruitment Principle.

The Recruitment Principle holds that the CNS can be trained to bypass the Size Principle and selectively recruit Type II fibers immediately rather than getting them involved only after the entire pool of Type I fibers have been innervated. This is extremely important in sports because of the need for immediate force production. Examples are a vertical jump, swinging a bat, throwing a punch, or even producing velocity on a fastball. DE’s are how the CNS learns to produce immediate maximum force. The reason we do the ME before the DE is Post-Activation Potentiation.

Post-Activation Potentiation

The underlying principle surrounding Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) is that maximum efforts induce a high degree of CNS stimulation, resulting in greater muscle fiber recruitment and force. Thus, you can produce a greater DE after your CNS has been “super stimulated” by the preceding ME.

Practical Application of Complex Training

CT can be scaled for use at any time in a program. We use this type of training most often as a transition between a strength/hypertrophy block and a specialization block. We increase the number and frequency of DE’s in our programs as we progress toward the specialization block (in season). As a result this is a great way to keep strength levels high while being able to incorporate more DE’s.

CT also provides a big bang for the buck for in season training. Because of time constraints during the season, athletes will often have time for only one or two sessions each week. CT allows athletes a time efficient means to maintain both absolute strength and explosiveness throughout the duration of the season. Below is a sample two day program using complexes for in season football players.

Day 1 (Lower)

Squat/BB squat jump 6 x 3/5
DB Lunge/split squat jump 2 x 5/3
Lateral Lunge/lateral bounds 2 x 5/3
GHR 2 x 10

Day 2 (Upper)

Bench/clapping push up 5 x 3/5
Pull up/DE sled row 3 x 5/5
Hang clean & press or jammer 2-3 x 3-5

In the video below I will demonstrate various complexes for all movement planes.
