Did you know that you can gain strength and muscle, WITHOUT having to lift heavier weights?

The Slow-Twitch X-haustion (S-T-X) Protocol is a radical departure from the way you’ve probably been training… but that’s a good thing!

If you’re stuck at a plateau, you also need to switch it up to spark growth.

I recommend you check out the full program HERE, but I wanted to give you an idea of how it’s set up:

#

Slow-Twitch X-haustion (S-T-X) Protocol

1 – Pick a weight with which you can get 20-25 reps, and go to failure.

2 – Rest 35 seconds.

3 – Add enough weight to limit your second set to around 8 reps, and go to failure.

4 – Rest 10 seconds.

5 – Using the same weight, go to failure one last time.

#

Example workout, using kettlebell squats:

1 – Pick a weight with which you can get 20-25 reps – let’s say 24k / 53lbs for example’s sake!

2 – Crank out 22 reps

3 – Rest 35 seconds.

4 – Bop up to your 32k / 70lbs kettlebell for your second set

5 – Crank out 8 reps (those legs are BURNING now!!)

6 – Rest 10 seconds.

5 – Using 32k / 70lbs again, crank out another 5 or so reps to failure.

#

You can see how this would really burn out those legs – but the key is that you also get a stimulus that will help you gain strength / muscle, by using the unique slow-twitch pre-exhaust technique so that you do NOT have to use mega poundages to do it.

There is much more science behind the methods, the creators of the program do a much better job breaking it down that I did, see all the details and pick up a copy of the program at the link below:
