"It is very hard to be aerobically and anaerobically fit at high levels because they detract from each other chemically"
-Paul Chek
"As anaerobic fitness increases the size of the mitocondria goes down and the whole chemical profile switches towards anaerobic. The more aerobic you get the more mitochondrial density you get and the less of an anaerobic profile you get"
-Paul Chek
"There is no research that shows improving your aerobic base of endurance will help out an anaerobic base"
-Kim Goss
Kim Goss talking about strength coach genious Charles Poliquin
he talks about how Charles training the Canadian speed skaters (women I believe). Stopping them doing cardio except in a 6-8 week period over WHOLE year. After dropping %70 to maintain gains. After 6-8weeks no more gains!
Best time being right before season..
The speed skater with the highest VO2Max did NO aerobic conditioning for the 2 months in the strength training phase
I believe Charles has 8 world record holders in speed skating!!!
He had fun trying to get them to stop thier cardio but after they did they started "kicking ass and taking names"
-all on Program Designs Choosing Reps, Loads, Tempo, & Rest Periods correspondance course from the CHEK Inst. (DVD)
Kim Goss, Jerry Telle are a part of some of the lectures..unfortunatly Charles Poliquin couldn't make it.
Kim and Jerry Work with some of the best!!! Of course Paul and Charles do too.
Charles speaks 5 languages I believe. He learned German, for example so he could study German research on strength and conditioning and is in contact with researchers world wide all the time. The man is genious and I don't think there is anything out there to say otherwise.
All these guys work together.
They don't always agree 100% but they know thier shit.
Of course is MuayThai mostly in the short term (anaerobic), intermediate (lactic acid), or long term system (aerobic)?
I believe mostly anaerobic and some intermediate.. but very little aerobic.
Of course thats not proven here but IF it is then there is lots of evidance on how to train the appropriate systems.
