CNS
Workout
By Peter Sisco - Review
Review by Rahul Alvares
Yet another good book
by Peter Sisco, CNS Workout (Central Nervous System), though small
and only about 22 pages long, is based on a revolutionary training
principle that you definitely should read about.
Another one of Sisco’s
brainwaves, CNS is an effort to deliver maximum overload to the
body and thence to the Central Nervous System. The program essentially
consists of a Super Rep, which is combination of a few exercises
that apparently sends the biggest stimulus to the Central Nervous
System for triggering massive anabolic growth
I will quote Sisco
to explain CNS training:
|
"When you
do an exercise for your biceps, a signal is sent to the
central nervous system. If the exercise was intense enough,
the central nervous system, on feeling the vulnerability
of the body, will fire into a massive anabolic mode."
|
That means if your
exercise wasn’t at the intensity level required to stimulate
the central nervous system, you ain’t gonna have no muscle
growth! According to Sisco, even when you train the biggest
muscles in the body with the maximum amounts of weights they
can handle, you never really stimulate the Central Nervous System
as much as when you work with the CNS Training Super Rep. Why?
Because the CNS Workout was designed to target the Central Nervous
System.
The strict combination
of the exercises creates a few drawbacks, though. For instance,
what if you don’t like a particular exercise, or can’t
do it for physical/medical reasons. What then? You could substitute
some other exercise for it but I doubt if you will get the best
results that the original program was designed for. Of course,
the principle is important and on learning how and why it works,
you might decide to form your own program, which may be pretty
effective as well.
The name CNS itself
suggests the program was designed to target the Central Nervous
System. That means overall anabolic stimulation with overall body
muscle growth. Now, what if I already have massive legs and I
don’t want to grow them further. But my arms are still small
and I want to make them bigger. Then CNS won’t help me in
my symmetry training. In that sense, CNS training would be a great
addition for a powerlifter or an athlete training for strength
alone.
