Attention! This article has no promotional function. The intent is to expose the cardinal principles of a specific training-diet system, designed to achieve health and anti-aging objectives. For informative correctness, the last paragraph is reserved for an impartial comment on the mechanisms touched upon during the text..
we try to exploit precious resources such as physical movement and diet, developing training / diet systems capable of pursuing very different objectives.
Matevo® is a method designed to achieve and maintain optimal health.
That of "health" is a very broad concept, which is not contextualized exclusively on the physical plane, but entirely embraces the person's body, mind and emotions.
Of course, improving your overall fitness is certainly quite challenging to achieve; it requires commitment and perseverance.
Thanks to training and a balanced diet, however, it is possible to normalize weight, optimize cardiocirculatory and broncho-pulmonary function, metabolic profile, coordination, balance, speed, strength and endurance.
The Matevo® method focuses more specifically on the search for muscle strength, which in turn correlates with greater muscle trophism with global benefits for the body (metabolic, nervous, injury prevention, etc.) - read: Physical Activity and Aging - and on "organizing" healthy eating.
mutual. Various authors agree in affirming that as the training load increases, it is good to take proportionately greater quantities of food. However, no one has set precise parameters to concretely give rise to this essential rule.
With Matevo®, all the main events related to physical performance that can be connected to each other follow a precise mathematical pattern, characterized by inflexible rules just as it would happen in a wild environment, if the practitioner were immersed in it.
Together with "training, the laws that group all beings living in a natural environment cannot be neglected. Only man, slowly over the centuries, has moved away from the ruthless lifestyle of nature, overturning the rules built by" evolution over millions of years for him too.
Matevo®, through precise mathematical directives, reproduces what would happen in nature, without the possibility of choice and free will: what is dictated by the method must be done without any room for personal desires. It is the user who must adapt to what the system forces him to perform, just as nature imposes every moment on all living beings.
Contrary to the so common split routines in traditional body building, Matevo® treats the body as a "whole", training all muscle groups at each session.
Matevo® manages the "training through" recurring movements ", such as pushing, pulling and lifting an object from the ground. By improving the strength in these actions, all related functions will be enhanced as a direct consequence.
This approach should allow for concrete improvements in everyday life and also in the performance of isolation exercises and / or strength machines.
.
In fact, given the back support component on a plane, simply paying attention to complete the ROM and avoid ballistic rebound, the thrusts almost completely prevent cheating.
Once the optimal reference load has been determined, which must be much lower than the real subjective possibilities, the overload in all the exercises of the program will be calculated by means of the inflexible mathematical ratios already mentioned in the paragraph above.
Self "these relationships may suit everyone or not", is probably the most widespread doubt. Let's say that, thanks to the extreme gradualness of the increase, the body tends to adapt to the dictated program.
The increases will be microscopic (eg 1.0 kg per week) and, by means of the various reports, there will be exercises that will increase the kilograms after a single week and others that will not increase at all for two or even three weeks. This will give the body time to gradually shape itself.
D "obligation is the use of barbells and dumbbells, rather than isotonic machines; cables can be an exception.
The Matevo® method routine includes three workouts a week, in which the same exercises are repeated at each session, with a procedure of variance in the intensity and volume between one day and the next, called a stress wave.
Then, we start with day A, in which the repetitions (rep) will be low but the loads high, day B with medium rep and medium loads, ending the week with day C with high reps and low loads.
By repeating the wave of effort cyclically every week, a singular mechanism of trophic development and increase in lifting capacity is triggered, without affecting physical resources and in particular the neuro-muscular component.
The duration of the routine is very short as this is a mono-series method that emphasizes the lifted loads, therefore the intensity, rather than the volume.
Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting aspects of Matevo® is precisely the fact that it provides good prospects for growth throughout the training year.
This is possible with the subdivision of the entire annual work cycle into 4 macrocycles, called phases. Therefore, by increasing the reference load for a certain period in the respective phases, the plateau will inevitably be encountered in each one.
The stop of the increments is foreseen by Matevo® and is overcome by the phase change.
The various phases can guarantee the smooth and progressive increase of the absolute force due to the reduction of the working volume from phase to phase.
In addition, there are annual regeneration breaks and unusual techniques to overcome seemingly insurmountable deadlocks.
individual. The organism would then find a food balance based on the strength obtained, and vice versa.In this way, one also becomes aware of the real muscular and nervous efficiency in the absence of food, and also of the potential for development in overabundance of the same.
The weekend is always free, because it is necessary to obtain a certain metabolic contrast combined with the release function, useful to be able to continue the Matevo® diet in the long term.
The function of the weekend is also to be associated with a return to the socially indispensable "occidentality". For the rest of the week, you are asked to select simple foods, just as they are presented in nature.
All the food strategies proposed by this way of life spontaneously stimulate the anabolic hormonal axes, keeping them at conspicuous levels over the years.
Matevo® provides, for those who wish, precise periods of blood testosterone control coinciding with the maximum load raised in a specific reference phase, to be compared with blood tests carried out before starting this life system and with future measurements in the years of therapy evolutionary.
By the very nature of training (muscle strengthening), it is likely to hypothesize a pronounced increase in the endogenous level of testosterone.
, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases and many forms of cancer.
However, this does not mean that we should take a step back, but forward! To do this, we must first of all accept that the "instinct of self-preservation is totally" out of time "with respect to the modern context of wealthy populations.
Very valid for no less than the last 300,000 years, it continues to suggest that we:
- Avoid moving unless absolutely necessary;
- Eat as much as possible when given the chance.
It therefore becomes essential that the evolution continues. Today the most suitable is the one who can manage instincts. However, this implies the mastery of the previous level, that is the intellect, without which those who consciously evolve would not be able to understand the reason for this evolutionary step.
This is why the theory and methodology of training must be considered as something extremely modern, scientific and progressive, despite having to deal with an identical biological system from the middle interglacial period.
Thanks to the motor it is in fact possible to optimize the processes of adaptation to the stimulus, going beyond what evolution has led us to do. The use of isotonic machines is therefore not wrong - especially in the case of functional limits - just as it is not. a higher degree of "manipulation" of dietary factors - for example, using certain supplements or applying high-calorie and low-calorie cycling that goes beyond daily energy consumption.
