Block 5 “Tarzan Twelve” Features

·         We are now in the tweaking weeds where we use a few additional tips and tricks from the Old Days to get the Most Bang for Your Buck from Blocks 2-4.

·         ALL that follows presumes you are using the sliding rotation of Blocks 2-4 using the 3/1/2/1 Work-Rest Protocol.

·         This adherence is VITAL to reap the additional benefits that follow.

·         Block 5 introduces 8 Fast-Twitch Exercises to “Pre-Fatigue” the given muscle group making that day’s Block Rotation all the more efficient and effective.

·         There are 2-Groups of these Fast-Twitch Exercises [4 in each Group.]

·         They are specifically coupled with pre-existing Blocks for Maximum benefit.

·         See this Article for the primacy of Fast-Twitch Work.

·         These 2 Blocks are #’s 1 & 2 of The Tarzan Twelve.

·         We will go into specific details of when and how to add these to your current rotation, adding no more than 3 minutes to each given training day.

·         Using the 1/1/1/1/2/1 Rotation Overlay—Maximum Explosive Power will be improved and maintained for the long haul. [No worries, those #’s will make sense in a bit.]

·         Next, we will address the additional 10 of The Tarzan Twelve: 9 Targeted Isometric Feats & 1 Single Ballistic Supple Spine Preserver. [Note: These 10 NEVER fall on a Day where #’s 1 or 2 are being programmed, let alone 1 & 2 are NEVER programmed on the same day. We’ll get into those reasons later.]

·         Scalable Steps for each “feat” are offered.

·         We will discuss the 1/6 Rule for Programming that dictates you only perform these 10 of The Tarzan Twelve ONCE per week.

·         We will also dictate the “6 and It” Rule.

·         The Tarzan Twelve will give you overall spinal and joint stability, contribute to the building and maintenance of explosive strength and provide “Eyes on the Prize” targets for putting your strength to the test.

·         Addition to Training Time: 4 minutes ONE single day per week.

·         And as a Bonus we offer a way to tweak your Ab/Core Training.

·         No not new exercises. This method uses the SAME protocol used in Block 2.

·         The difference is the alteration in Programming where we use a 2/2/2/1 to build that rock-hard iron-core.

·         Additional Training Time—None.

·         Again, all these seemingly random digits will make sense once we get into the meat of Block 5 and you’ll be cooking with gas ASAP!

Ready to Go! You can view it in the Store HERE!

Apache Running by Mark Hatmaker

Of the many Native American tribes of the southwest United States and Mexico the various bands of Apache carry a reputation for fierceness, resourcefulness, and an almost superhuman stamina. The name “Apache” is perhaps a misnomer as it refers to several different tribes that are loosely and collectively referred to as Apache, which is actually a variant of a Zuni word Apachu that this pueblo tribe applied to the collective bands. Apachu in Zuni translates roughly to “enemy” which is a telling detail that shines a light on the warrior nature of these collective tribes.             Among the various Apache tribes you will find the Kiowa, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Chiricahua (or “Cherry-Cows” as early Texas settlers called them), and the Lipan. These bands sustained themselves by conducting raids on the various settled pueblo tribes, Mexican villages, and the encroaching American settlers. These American settlers were often immig...

The Original Roadwork by Mark Hatmaker

  Mr. Muldoon Roadwork. That word, to the combat athlete, conjures images of pre-dawn runs, breath fogging the morning air and, to many, a drudgery that must be endured. Boxers, wrestlers, kickboxers the world over use roadwork as a wind builder, a leg conditioner, and a grit tester. The great Joe Frazier observed… “ You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you're down to the reflexes you developed in training. That's where roadwork shows - the training you did in the dark of the mornin' will show when you're under the bright lights .” Roadwork has been used as a tool since man began pitting himself against others of his species in organized combat. But…today’s question . Has it always been the sweat-soaked old school gray sweat suit pounding out miles on dark roads or, was it something subtler, and, remarkably slower? And if it was, why did we transition to what, and I repeat myself,...

Fightin’ Words: “I’m Gonna Clean your Clock!” by Mark Hatmaker

To our ears quaint, in a former time formidable, the expression “ I’m gonna clean your clock! ” was not a mere amusing gibe heard bandied about in a 1930s film but a bondafide threat with a meaning well understood by all. Until the 1940s the pre-dominant mode of mass-transportation in the United States was via railway. Indeed, America had embraced the automobile, but railroad tracks spanned and spider-webbed the nation whereas roads, while plentiful, were not quite what we may expect. In 1927 the first transcontinental highway in the world, Lincoln Highway, was only continuously paved from New York to Iowa. From there paving was intermittent, signage rare, roadside markers almost nonexistent. In the words of one contemporary user of the road, the highway was “ largely hypothetical .” So, while the automobile was on the rise the railroad dominated. Everyone knew railways, had some experience with them and to an unusual degree the railroad was held in a bit of romantic regar...
