What Type Are You?

Secret to individualising your program is to access what type you are?
What do I mean well one of the best articles I ever read was  "The Five Elements – A New Training Paradigm" by Charles Poliquin
There are 5 types of people who train and only 3 worth mentioning



a) Fire type - they thrive on high volume and high intensity
b) Wood type - their volume and intensity needs to be varied as too much of one or the other makes them over train very easily
c) Earth type - they have the ability to do high reps and handle alot of volume and they can repeat that effort with less rest that the other 2 types above. They burn out if intensity is to high.
Knowing your type you will make better progress strength wise and body composition wise to.
For athletes it is vital as the wrong training method can limit their progress
