REVERSE HYPER FOR HYPERTROPHY: PHASE 3
Controlled Contraction, Posterior Development, and the Transfer to the Stage
ENDLESS APPLICATION
As these have been built in response to the plethora of questions. This includes being intimidated, unfamiliar, or unable to create success utilizing the full breadth of the r-hyper. We now briefly have touched on aspects of Strength, Rehab and Recovery, now Phase 3 as we touch on a wide variety of hypertrophy and muscle development -however- the fact is the phases never truly fully separate.
The angles of our needs, to the positions, then isolating the targeted areas towards our purpose
While the reverse hyper is renowned for training of the Glutes, Hams, Erectors, and decompression of the spine, the machine itself can be used in endless mannerisms. The training dynamics can go as far as the imagination meets anatomics IE bicep curls, tricep extensions, hip abd/add work, calf work, TKE's, neck adaptions, ankle work/mobility, Rows of all types, attach bands for endless kinetic additions: Only a few examples to allow for expanded thinking as we want each to maximize the benefits.
HYPER-FOCUSED CONTROL
Phase 3 is to narrow down the Reverse Hyper to the understanding that, Like all training, when slowed down to be in full controlled contractions, while hyper location focused, we now have a machine that creates "bodybuilder" or hypertrophy style training
This isn't just a gym feel. An 8-week controlled study by Schoenfeld et al. found lifters cued to consciously squeeze and feel the target muscle during contraction built meaningfully more hypertrophy in that muscle than lifters simply told to move the weight. Controlled contraction with focus is what lets you actually target the muscle you're training for.
THE GLUTE STANDARD
Let's hyper-focus on Glute development to include full posterior growth with an added advantage of control. This has been debated for decades, however recently finally been revived back into the mainstream by some of the best IFBB physiques of modern times. We have shown on Rocen-pro countless testings with proven results via video, pictures, and online write ups utilizing all mannerisms written on to include many divisions of IFBB athletics
FROM MUSCLE TO THE STAGE
This learned contraction and control transfers to high-level muscle quality but just as important, the very needed transfer to posing. The lack of bodies coming in top shape with the inability to control and display at the highest levels is spoken on every social media platform to include the very pinnacle stages of the Olympia to Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.
Our goal is to allow more to see and understand the advanced documented advantages of use to create world class physiques.
PROOF FROM THE TOP
In this we have borrowed videos for higher relatability being from the highest levels in the IFBB of the modern day. While we have utilized, and shown use of this machine at the highest levels both in strength and physique realms- we want it clarified these are borrowed as references and in no way taking away from the athletes nor those trainers/coaches they are involved with.
@andreashaw is the leading FBB in the world at this time. With a standing record of 6x Mr Olympia wins to her credit and growing. Being of bodybuilding background, at these levels, allows the perspective that its use now chosen, and proven, allows anyone to advance. The old adage that bodybuilding is won from the back gives deep significance to the full value of the training of this style on the r-hyper, from physical development to posterior control and self awareness giving advantage to posing and stage presence capacities. Which IS the sport of bodybuilding. These are areas debated online endlessly that are seen trained with purpose.
A recent interview between @jaycutler and a leading IFBB bikini pro @laurahcaps could not have come at a more opportune time as Laura states she believes the r-hyper is one of the best choices for glute development. Her accolades, training, and now standing as one of the best IFBB bikini competitors in the world speaks for itself.
THE WESTSIDE THROUGHLINE
As part of our history stemming from Westside Barbell its been important to us to create the information for more to become knowledgeable to the applicable benefits that the Reverse Hyper provides. Designed out of necessity by Louie Simmons as explained in Phase one to offset a broken back. To prove itself in unlimited rehab benefits. Then grow into the highest levels of Strength and Athletic turn out additions. Which includes hypertrophy shown at the highest IFBB levels the world has. This leaves only the question…how great will each become
We've been at the top of the world in more than one field…now it's time for others to get there
