Cycling your training to help account for shock, compensation, and exhaustion is an
important part of periodization and refers to which principle? - ANSWER The GAS
principle.
1. "Alarm stage" applying intense training stress.
2. "Resistance stage" muscles evolve and adapt to handling heavier loads and resist
stressful weights more easily and effectively.
3. "Exhaustion stage" continually adding stress will exhaust our reserves and will
cease to function at peak performance.
To prevent the third stage from even happening, you need weeks of going "light";
decreasing the weight and intensity to give your body time to rest and recover.
The need for different phases of training helps to prevent what? - ANSWER
Overtraining
Mix things up a bit. Don't get stuck with using the same program/workouts over and
over again, which will lead to orthopedic stress. Incorporate different modes of

Take the weight that he lifted (320 lbs) and divide that by 80% (0.80 is the percent of
max) and that = 400 lbs.
What would be a symptom of overtraining? - ANSWER Decrease in performance
There are two types of overtraining:
1. Sympathetic: mostly seen in anaerobic clients, this type of overtraining affects the
sympathetic nervous system (speeds up bodily functions; increasing energy needs)
, and results in increased resting heart rate, increased blood pressure, loss of appetite
- which leads to weight loss and decreased body mass, sleeping problems,
emotional instability, and an elevated basal metabolic rate.
2. Parasympathetic: mostly seen in aerobic clients, the opposite occurs. Since this
system slows down bodily functions and conserves energy, overtraining will result in
early onset of fatigue, increased resting heart rate, heart rate recovery after exercise
slows down, and an increase in resting blood pressure.
What is primarily responsible for strength gains in beginner clients? - ANSWER
Neural adaptations
Beginners will see a spike in strength and then hypertrophy comes after. Once they
have more strength, then they'll be able to lift heavier weights for more reps (6 - 12)
= hypertrophy.
What plane of motion does squatting take place in? - ANSWER Sagittal plane
Any exercise where your body moves back to front or vice versa.
