HIGH INTENSITY STRENGTH TRAINING:
MORE AEROBIC THAN "AEROBICS"

by Greg Anderson

 

The most common question asked by our new personal training clients at Ideal Exercise is: "Where are the treadmills and stationary bicycles?". Most have never heard that great benefits to the cardiovascular system, commonly referred to as "aerobic fitness", can be had through a program of high-intensity strength training with no additional steady-state activity. And while I do certainly spend a great deal of my time explaining why such benefits are certainly possible (and more desirable as it is much more efficient to achieve muscular and cardiovascular benefits in a single program) it usually takes a few workouts before the client understands the depth and magnitude of cardiovascular involvement possible from strength training. As one of my trainees remarked recently (after a set of squats to complete failure followed by 20 seconds of effort against the bar in the bottom position): "My God! (gasp, gasp...) this is more aerobic than aerobics..."

Although (as I shall explain) the statement that high-intensity strength training is "more aerobic than aerobics" is not entirely correct, such an observation on the trainee's part does underscore the profound effect of intense muscular contractions on the cardiovascular system. The current mania for "aerobics" in the fitness industry stems from a misunderstanding of two factors: The function of the cardiovascular system, and the identification of skeletal muscle as the window through which optimum loading of the entire metabolic system(s) --including the cardiovascular system--takes place.

A great deal of the misunderstanding of the function of the cardiovascular system arises from the use of the word "aerobics" to describe a particular exercise protocol. The term aerobic denotes a metabolic pathway within the body which yields energy through the oxidation of fat and carbohydrate. Literally, aerobic means: "with oxygen". Most of us have been taught that to exercise aerobically is to perform long duration steady-state activities which produce an elevated heart rate. Note that said participation of the heart and lungs is entirely dependent on muscular activity. Such low intensity activity is said to primarily stress the aerobic metabolic pathway and allow the body to use primarily fat as a fuel source. Additionally, "aerobics" is thought to provide an increase in endurance and provide a protective effect against coronary artery disease. While I will certainly agree that there are some marginal benefits to the cardiovascular system from a program of such activity, the reality is simply that these effects could be achieved in a safer and more efficient manner through the use of high-intensity strength training.

Many bodybuilders that I have spoken to believe that the inclusion of some type of "aerobic" activity in their program is necessary to achieve optimum leanness. I point out to them that from a bodybuilding standpoint, the issues at hand are both the amount of fat that you don't have and the amount of muscle that you do. Since it is very easy to overtrain by including too many exercises or too much additional activity, it seems that any slight fat loss achieved through steady state activity could be more than offset by compromising the ability to build (or even maintain) muscle as a result of overtraining. In fact, research on fat loss performed by Ellington Darden Ph.D. (and duplicated by Ideal Exercise) showed best results with the combination of high-intensity strength training with a reduced calorie diet and the total exclusion of steady state activities. As Mike Mentzer has pointed out, the body only has a limited amount of adaptation energy. It is not as if you have 100 units of adaptation energy for building muscle and 100 units available for increasing endurance; you have 100 units, period!

The following is a reprint of an article which we hand out to all of our new clients at Ideal Exercise...

Why not aerobics...?

  • "Aerobic" activity is not the most effective form of exercise for fat-loss. Steady state activities such as running, cycling, dancing, etc. do not burn a significant number of calories! One pound of fat can fuel the body for up to 10 hours of continuous activity. "Aerobic" activity is simply inefficient for this purpose!
  • The most important contribution that exercise makes to a fat-loss program is the maintenance of muscle tissue while fat is lost. Strength training is the only reliable method of maintaining muscle tissue. Aerobics can actually cause you to lose muscle tissue!
  • Some supposed "experts" have suggested that the important effect of aerobics is that of increasing metabolic rate. Our question is this: If "aerobic" activities burn few calories while you are doing them, then how many calories will they burn (calories burned = metabolic rate) when you are not doing them? The answer to that question is: very few...
  • On the subject of metabolic rate: Every pound of muscle added to the body of an adult female will require an additional 75-100 calories per day just to keep it alive. The average person, through a program of proper strength training can add enough muscle to burn an additional 3500 calories per week (1 lb. of fat = 3500 calories). The amount of strength training required to effect such a change is less than one hour per week.
  • "Aerobic" activities are dangerous! Running is an extremely high-force activity that is damaging to knees, hips, and back. Aerobic dance is probably worse. And so-called "low impact" classes or activities like stationary cycling are not necessarily low-force. Don't be fooled by the genetic exceptions who protest that they have never been injured-- overuse injuries are cumulative and we are often not aware that we have them until it is too late. In time, the enthusiastic aerobic-dance participant or jogger will probably pay the price for all that "healthy" activity. If that price is a decrease or loss of mobility in one's later years, then "aerobics" have effectively shortened the individual's life-span. Loss of mobility is often the first step toward loss of all biological competence.

Don't I need some form of aerobics to insure good health?
What about my heart?

  • Remember: The function of the cardiovascular system is to support the muscular system--not the other way around. If the human body is logical (and we assume that it is) then increases in muscular strength (from a proper strength-training program) will correlate to improvements in cardiovascular function.
  • You will notice that the word "aerobic" has been set off in quotation marks when it refers to an activity performed for exercise. There is a good reason for this emphasis: There is no such thing as aerobic exercise! We have all heard that activities such as jogging and cycling are "aerobic" while those such as weight training and sprinting are "anaerobic". These distinctions are not 100% correct. The words aerobic and anaerobic refer to metabolic pathways which operate continuously at all times and in all activities. You cannot "turn off" either of these pathways by merely increasing or decreasing the intensity of an activity.
  • A word on intensity: Few of the "experts" who promote aerobics will debate our last statement. What they do say, however, is that gentle low-intensity activities use the aerobic pathway to a greater degree than they use the anaerobic pathway. We agree with this statement completely and feel that it should be taken to its logical conclusion: The most "aerobic" activity that a human being can engage in is sleeping!
  • Consider this: Dr. Kenneth Cooper (author of Aerobics, The New Aerobics, Aerobics for Women), the US. Air Force Cardiologist who coined the term "aerobics" (meaning a form of exercise) and has promoted their use for over 25 years now admits that he was wrong! According to Dr. Cooper, further research has shown that there is no correlation between aerobic endurance performance and health, longevity, or protection against heart-disease. He will admit, however, that such activities do carry with them a great risk of injury. Further, he admits that gross-overuse activities such as running may be so damaging to the body as to be considered carcinogenic.
  • Irving Dardik, MD, former vascular surgeon, contends that: "The basic concept of aerobics conditioning is wrong." He also contends that the best way to train the vascular system is to build flexibility into its response by using short bouts of elevation followed by sudden recovery, then demanding activity again.
  • Elevated heart rate is not an indicator of exercise intensity, exercise effect, or exercise value. It is quite possible to experience an elevated pulse, labored breathing, and profuse sweating without achieving valuable exercise. Intense emotional experiences commonly cause these symptoms without a shred of exercise benefit.
  • Even if an elevated pulse is necessary for cardiovascular conditioning (we do not doubt that pulse elevation may be necessary, but we do not believe that it should be the emphasis of a conditioning program) remember that some of the highest heart-rates on record were achieved during Nautilus research performed at West Point. The West Point cadets commonly experienced heart rates in excess of 220 beats per minute during Nautilus exercise. These pulse rates were maintained for periods of 20-35 minutes.

What about endurance? Won't my athletic performance suffer if I don't do aerobics?

  • Endurance for athletics and recreational activities is primarily a result of three factors: skill, muscular strength, and genetics. Heritable factors (genetics) are considered to be non-trainable or, in other words, you cannot do much about them. Increasing one's skill in an activity is a result of practicing that activity. For long-distance runners skills such as stride length and efficiency can be trained through practice (practice on a treadmill doesn't serve this purpose as it is not the same as road-running). Muscular strength is the single most trainable factor in endurance performance. It is the muscles that actually perform work. When strength increases, the relative intensity of any given task decreases.
  • Athletes often talk about training their "wind". Actually our bodies' ability to use oxygen is not as trainable as once believed. Consider that in a resting state the lungs can saturate with oxygen the blood moving through them during the first one-third of the total transit time. At maximal exertion, saturation speed might slow to one-half of the total transit time. Even with some compromise of pulmonary function (illness, injury, etc.) the lungs can usually perform their job quite adequately. It is the muscle's ability to use the nutrients delivered to it that needs training. This is most efficiently addressed by strength-training.
  • More on the subject of "wind": Most exercise physiologists refer to the phenomenon of "wind" as maximal oxygen uptake. One Canadian researcher has determined that maximal oxygen uptake is 95.9% genetically determined.
  • A 1991 study at the University of Maryland showed that strength training produced improvements in cycling endurance performance independent of changes in oxygen consumption.
  • Covert Bailey, author of Fit or Fat and advocate of "gentle aerobic exercise" now recommends wind sprints to those seeking to become maximally fit. Why wind sprints? Because sprinting is a much more intense muscular activity than jogging. Why not wind sprints? Because as with other running, the risk of injury is just too great! Pulled hamstrings, sprained ankles, and damaged knees are too high of a price for a marginal increase in fitness. Strength training greatly increases the intensity of muscular activity (much more so than sprinting) and greatly reduces the risk of injury!

“I just needed guidance from someone who understood how to help me...”

 

wp0868f59f.png

“When I think of my coach and mentor Bill Sahli, the words brilliant, kind, gifted, genuine, and connected come to mind. Bill is an amazing coach whose life experience and extensive knowledge of bodybuilding and people building make him a gift to those he works with. He knows both who he is and how to help others discover or re-discover who they are.

 

Bill came into my life when I was literally praying for a miracle. I was at a breaking point; over weight, overwhelmed, over committed, and completely lost. I had forgotten who I was as a person; I was desperate for a change. I needed someone to encourage me and most importantly, to believe in me. I had tried and tried to lose weight with minimal results, but I knew in my heart there was a way, I just needed guidance from someone who understood how to help me.

 

My miracle came in the form of Bill Sahli. The timing was perfect! He began coaching me weekly via phone and e-mail. Through his teachings I learned how to change my mindset, which in turn, has changed my reality and my life. He coached me on healthy food choices and fitness routines designed to meet my goals. Through our work together, I was able to re-discover who I am at the core and how to follow my truth. My whole life has changed for the better. I have re-gained confidence, belief, and a positive mindset. I’ve re-discovered my ability to accomplish anything I put my mind to. To date, I have lost 32 lbs and 23 inches of body fat; I feel great! Most importantly, I’ve learned that there are no limits; all things are possible when you believe. Bill Sahli, you have truly been my saving grace, thank you for helping me change my life!”

“Bill,

I just wanted to send you a quick personal note to thank you for the help you have given me...


I greatly appreciate the time you have taken to look at and put forward a solution to my problem. To be honest, all I was expecting was you to suggest dropping an exercise or two and/or re-ordering them in a certain way. Had I not asked your advice, then I think that is what I'd have probably done but then I don't have anywhere near your experience... Your thoroughness is utterly commendable! I certainly wasn't expecting a whole new routine…

Thanks my dear friend for the patience and understanding directing me correctly. Time to train
smarter so I can continue on.

I sincerely thank you once again. Long may you continue to offer such great advice … Regards” - Glynn

I have chosen to go straight through to the advanced training routine with 5 days rest in between workouts. I am already feeling results from it. I did the chest and triceps routine you have there 72 hours ago and I'm not joking when I say I have grown from it already. My right arm is now 19 inches around. My chest is fuller and I feel great. My thanks to you Bill. If you ever want a testimonial for your website i would be honored to write one for you." - James

Jon Paris from Canada says this...

“This book covers all the bases and then some!”

wpc06b318d_0f.jpg

“After reading a few of Bill's earlier books,

RU Serious-The Foundation and High Intensity Powerbuilding,

both of which are of tremendous value... I knew I was in for a treat when I ordered Bill's latest book,

Mind Becomes Mass: Beyond Time-The Final Approach.


When I received the book, I poured a cup of tea and thought I would read through it in a few hours (which is usually the norm for me when I order something new). Was I ever in for a surprise when I saw the table of contents (and took a quick look through the book)! I knew right away this one certainly wasn't going to be read and absorbed in just 1 or 2 sittings.


Rather than being your typical bodybuilding book with a few routines for the reader to follow... Bill starts out by going into great detail about our most powerful and important muscle... “The Mind.”

 

Bill explains how and why we are stronger and capable of so much more than most of us believe, along with the tools to learn how to tap into ourselves and achieve our best (not only with our training, but most importantly, with our everyday lives)!

 

The book also goes into great detail on the effects of stress and how it effects our health. Also the role of our own genetics. Bill explains, in easy to understand plain English, why we should critically analyze what we are doing and why we should open and use our minds... and not follow the herd and not be emotionally tied ...


This book covers all of the bases, and then some! From a Q and A section, To a precise explanation on what the most productive movements are and how to properly perform the movements in the safest manner possible. From a beginner workout, right through to the most advanced ... routines with every alternative and ... technique available to stimulate even further progress.

 

Bill also goes into great detail on diet, regardless of whether your goal is to lose body fat, or gain bodyweight, Bill explains the how's and why's and even goes into detail about how to adjust your diet to your own metabolism.


I've
only scratched the surface here, and am still in the process of reading and absorbing everything in this greatly informative book that Bill has written...  through his decades of experience with his own training and in working with others.

 

Bill is truly a gifted and highly intelligent man and is always giving his time to help others achieve their own personal goals.
I can't recommend this book enough. It is worth far more than it's price.

Jon Paris”

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of reading Bill's latest gem... Mind Becomes Mass...

RE: Mind Becomes Mass: Beyond Time-The Final Approach

GEM!!!

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of reading Bill's latest gem... Mind Becomes Mass... Beyond Time-The Final Approach. Into the first chapter and I was nodding with approval with what Bill discussed about how the mind shapes what ever happens in our lives, inevitably, our training outlook and results. I found this both exciting and creepy as it was so very, very true. In fact, I wrote Bill immediately to share with him how accurate he was, the things he outlined has happened to me, and continue to happen often... just 1 day ago in fact!

After an in depth discussion on how ones outlook and focus shapes everything, and how one can gain mastery over it to better their lives and training (in and out of the gym), Bill moved onto workout advice. No Bulgarian hidden secrets mumbo-jumbo here. Being the man he is, this stuff is simple and straight forward... golden! Being taught by the best, Mike Mentzer, Bill's outlook is just as clear-cut and precise, based on his vast training experience, combined with logical deductions, this wealth of logical information alone could easily serve ones training needs indefinitely.

If you enjoyed Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty II: Mind & Body, then you will absolutely adore Bill's Mind Becomes Mass. It is complimentary of Mike's works, and I couldn't think of a better person to do business with, as Bill is 100% sincere and genuine in his enthusiasm to help others achieve their training goals. I personally want to thank Bill for the time and effort he put into this work of art, which I cherish and will no doubt relate back too time and time again over the coming years/decades on my quest to reach my genetic potential."

“Closing in on 33 years ... I get comfort and grounding from your column... your straight forward, in depth, and logical application... And I must say, I am happy... Keep it up, all the best! - Kevin

Subject: I CANT BELIEVE IT

 

“Hi Bill,

...  I'm 78 years old, have had two heart attacks, have asthma and emphysema along with muscle atrophy.

I... became interested in your Contraction Vacuum Burns because of my waist measurement.

 

I had reservations as to how much energy it would take to perform the exercise. You assured me that I could do this so I decided to try the program. This is to let you know the first week's results.

 

I started on New Years 2010...

 

Friday, January 1st. I weighted 159.6 and had a waist measurement of 45".

Friday, January 8th (after only 7 days on the program)...weight 157.6 lost 2 lbs. Waist 43" lost 2 inches.

 

As you said, the more I do the easier it will become.

 

Thank you Bill, without your encouragement I would have not even tried. I will now be ordering your Mind Becomes Mass Program.

 

Bill in Florida

 

PS. A second thought, I bet this would be a great program for women who are within weight and height measurements but do need waist, oblique and stomach tightening.

 

PSS. Bill, I forgot to mention that I have compression fracture in discs 4-5 and 2 others in the lumbar spine area neither of which are bothered by this exercise.

Bill, I just finished listening to High Intensity Mindset. PowerrrrFULL. GREAT JOB!!! Takes me back to 1967 when I was first introduced to PMA and followed it intensely. I'm still a believer. People could not understand it, but my life did change and lives will change if you BELIEVE. My favorite quote was then, and is now, what the mind can conceive and believe, the mind will achieve.

 

I read Mind Becomes Mass earlier and will read it again but will not have uninterrupted time to listen until tomorrow. At that time I will be ready for whatever you design. (Bill decided to move forward into my Elite Inner Circle One on One Coaching)

“... Unbelievable... My arms are growing and my shirtsleeves are tighter...”

“Just thought i would let you know I started your high intensity training program  (High Intensity Powerbuilding) and I am on my third workout this  Friday, it is unbelievable...even in this small amount of time my arms are growing and my shirtsleeves are tighter...(And I am not doing any direct arm work!) “-  John, UK

“...every time I speak with you... The light at the end of the tunnel seems that much closer...”

it seems every time i speak with you either on the phone or via email the light at the end of the tunnel seems that much closer, it all seems to make perfect sense to me now, im no longer one of those trainers stumbling in the dark searching for answers, so thanks again for your insightful answers.

I will definitely keep you up to date with my progress.

All the best !!” -  Cam, New Zealand

“Yeah...great talking to you too the other night...lots if great memories. Glad to hear you're still hitting it hard. No surprise though...we're cut from the same mold. It's who we are. Hey....thanks so much for that write up on your site...brings back memories. I get side tracked sometimes and start adding stuff to my routine and next thing you know I'm doing too much. It's good to read your stuff and remember what works and where we came from. Jimmy, New York”

___________________________________________________________________________“Hi Bill,

I just purchased your books
RU Serious and High Intensity Powerbuilding on Thursday. There’s a lot of good info and I’m glad I found them, I need to get back on track. I’m not serious bodybuilder or powerlifter. Just an average Joe who workouts out in his basement but I have had some decent size. I had a long layoff due to injury ...

In the past I got off track and did workouts that didn’t work, you know, the various crap in the magazines. But to be honest the majority of my size came from workouts very similar to the one in you
RU Serious book. So I’m going to start with that. Actually, I took this past week off so I started again today and I just got done with workout #1 from the book, though I’m not looking forward to legs in a few days . It felt great to get back to that.

I’m really looking forward to starting the
Powerbuilding workout but at this point I thought it might be better to start with the RU Serious workout.  

Well I just wanted to say hi and thanks for th
e great books.” -  COMA

 

COMA posted in the forum regarding the books and advises another user about both….

 

“…I definitely recommend them, I just bought them both last week. I’m going to do the workout in RU Serious for a while then move on to The High Intensity Powerbuilding  Workout. It looks brutal and I can’t wait to get started on that.” -  COMA

“Subject: Great program

Hi Bill
 
       I am starting to see the importance of proper rest between workouts. I am going to take a 2-3 week layoff. It seems like the more I rest the more muscular looking I get. I feel this will be very beneficial when I start on your
Powerbuilding program. Thanks for all your advice in the past. You are an awesome guy, my friend… Thanks again” - Dave
