What is Innervation Training?
It's a Circuit Style Body Reshaping program.

Neurological Considerations
Muscles should be understood as a community of motor units which can act independently or together to maximize efficiency.

Benefits of
Innervation Training
Innervation Training Helps Build a Healthy Metabolism
Body Building Style Exercise
Supports Bodily Functions
Traditional body part training is still the superior form of exercise in course-correcting:
And getting these systems
back in sync with each other.
Type-2 muscle fiber stimulation in training can help regress obesity and resolve metabolic and hormonal disorders.
Course-correcting metabolism and hormonal systems involves internal processes that can't be quantified...
Biofeedback is the only way to corrective action. It comes from the inside, out.
When it comes to training,
instead of a focus on calorie-burning,
focus more on tissue-building exercises
that will optimize and balance
metabolic and hormonal
functions over time.
Your biofeedback is the collection of signals and cues your body is telling you about how it’s doing, and how it is responding to things like lifestyle stressors, diet, sleep, workouts, and everything else.
Respect the body and all it does for you, and to realize that the mind, the body, and the spirit are always inter-connected and intra-connected, each influencing the other and communicating with each other.
How do you want to look?
You train to your desired cosmetic look, once you reach your goal, maintain and keep training to maintain health.
Five Fitness Cornerstone Concepts
Biofeedback (inside-out), compared to external feedback (outside-in) will lead to a more engaged, and satisfying experience.
Course correcting metabolism and hormonal systems involves internal processes that can't be quantified... biofeedback is the only way to corrective action.
It comes from the inside, out.
Metabolism is the sum total of all the hormonal and chemical processes of the body, not just calories in and calories out.
When it comes to training, instead of a focus on calorie-burning, people with metabolic issues should focus more on tissue-building exercises that will optimize and balance metabolic and hormonal functions over time.
Calorie burning vs. calorie investing.
Are you just counting calories or repairing your metabolism?
Majority of diets create fat storing machines,
we build fat burning machines.

Train the muscles not the movement.
It’s the muscle that works the weight, not the weight that works the muscle.
Your body naturally wants to take advantage of levers, fulcrums, gravity, and momentum. Your goal is to fight this so that you can get muscles to put out maximum effort.
Train for development and strength will come…
not the other way around.
Aim to feel intensity, even during the beginning reps of a set,
not “just” the final reps.
Let’s be clear.
Physical fitness
and physical appearance
are two different things when it comes to
“feeling and experiencing”
wellness in an authentic way.
Your body that you don’t like,
is also a source of stress.
It looks this way as a reflection
of your inner-self, weighed down by all the anxiety you haul around with you each day by avoiding your:
What most people require for long-term sustainable weight-loss and weight-control, is not a laser-like focus on dieting and weight loss…
What’s needed is a focus on metabolic healing and recovery!
Heal metabolism first, and weight-loss will come.

Qualitative Techniques
“Adding qualitative techniques to the quantitative lift”
Intensity is a real and measurable concept.
What intensity is not is a subjective interpretation of one’s own work ethic.
Exertion is the closest working definition. Come as close as one can to their maximum “workload capacity” equals the definition of intensity.
Research into neurological influences on training and muscle adaptations to training led to the development of Innervation Training methodology.
One of the main tenets of the system is that intensity is a learned physiological process and learned response of the body to specific stimuli.
There is no doubt that neural adaptations play an important role in the overall adaptation to strength training.
Strength increases that are seen as a result of performance are due to adaptive changes in the nervous system that optimize control of muscles involved in the exercises.
Performance and intensity go way beyond just performing “sets & reps” to achieve results, but rather a mastery of performance techniques could lead to greater intensity and therefore greater gains.
Anyone with a better developed body is training at a higher level than most and it is precisely the mastery of different performance techniques that has been the concern of Innervation Training.
Circle of Intensity
The circle of intensity illustrates the ways in which the body adapts to training over time.
Adaptions include:
As we progress down the circle of intensity to the bottom of the circle (around the six o’clock position) we reach a point in training where more volume will no longer equal more progress.
The reason why so many people stop making real gains is that they can’t turn the corner of the circle of intensity because the qualitative adaptations take place by training with greater acuity and with greater biofeedback which equates to massively increased intensity.
This is the kind of training that separates the men from the boys, so to speak, and has little to do with how much weight you lift.
The Overload Principle
The overload principle basically states as adaptations to stress occurs; greater amounts of stress must be applied in order to insure continued adaptive changes.
In other words, as we go from our first day in the gym to several years later, the only real way to get better is to add more work (therefore, the use of the word Quantitative.)
First we add sets, then we add weight, and then we add reps, and so on (add exercises).
As we progress down the right side of the circle of intensity, to the bottom of the circle, we reach a point in training where more volume will no longer equal more progress.
Adding volume just leads to over training, burn out and increased risk of injury.
What happens then, as we go up the left side of the circle of intensity, is that qualitative adaptations occur.
The reason why so many people stop making real gains is that they can’t turn the corner of the circle of intensity.
The qualitative adaptations take place by training with greater acuity and with greater biofeedback which equates to massively increased intensity.
Which has little to do with how much you lift.
Qualitative adaptations bring the muscles closer to what is called “Total Activation potential” TAP aka “Maximum Voluntary Contraction” MVC
These adaptations have to do with the greater recruitment of high threshold motor units:
The high threshold motor units mentioned are the hardest to activate and this
is a qualitative response to proper training.
Highest threshold motor units are not activated until exerted force is 90% or greater of maximum exertion.
Exertion, not strength.
Exertion implies intensity, a qualitative internal cue, much more important than strength, which is quantitative, an external cue.
Therefore, it is “hard training” and not necessarily “heavy training” that elicits these specific results.
Exertion rates 90% or higher in training athletes can only be accomplished by building a certain fatigue level.
High intensity athletes are more concerned with internal cues:
These are entirely different concerns.
The Size Principle
Henneman’s: Size Principle of fiber recruitment” is the grandfather of research done in the area of neurobiology.
·Fibers are recruited from smallest to largest depending on the task at hand.
·The most fatigue-resistant fibers are the smallest while the largest fibers are the most fatigable.
Tasks requiring little effort or dexterity, or tasks requiring a vast workload, will dictate motor neuron firing frequency according to size. Tus, large fibers, which are the easiest to fatigue, are recruited when such a workload demands.
The Size prinicple & Over load principle is a great place to start learning, there are many more, but start here!
Peripheral Heart Action training
Peripheral Heart Action training is about blood circulating to different areas of the body and different body parts at the same time.
In the Hard Gainers Solution program, the classical approach to PHA training to fit the Whole-Body approach has been tweaked.
PHA training is NOT “circuit” training. It is purely about blood delivery and exchange.
It’s about getting a better pump
(a more immediate effect of training),
as well as training the body over time to create better and better pumps
(the cumulative and residual effects of training).
This is very efficient for neuromuscular effects and for training the muscles.
By mixing up the rep schemes and the targeted body parts in each and every workout, we create greater and enhanced neurological pathways to the muscles, and we increase the response from the muscles as well.
Not many experts look at this element of training, especially when it comes Hard-gainers, but Scott have always considered it one of the most important aspects of training.
We implement this tactic into our programs.
Qualitative Training Techniques
Too many do not experiencing their workouts because of a focus on external cues; like how much weight they can lift.
Qualitative Training Techniques
Absolute vs Relative Failure
Relative failure occurs when you can no longer complete a full rep. Always train to at least relative failure for each working set in a development-based program that is based on body part, not movement training.
Absolute failure is the ultimate in intensity performance. Absolute failure is when the muscle can no longer contract with any kind of force.
Duration of overload is more important in forcing an adaptive response than is amount of overload.
Conclusion, the goal of any intense workout is to maximally fatigue the targeted muscles, and you do this by training harder and not necessarily lifting more weight.
Make your focus about quality training, concentration and intensity, and not so much numerical indicators of counting reps, rest time and how much you lift.
