Enjoy The Awesome Rewards Of Real High-rep Training

Y3T has become synonymous with adjectives pertaining to its extreme intensity.

But when it comes to Week 3 of Y3T (Yoda 3 Training) and its infamous reputation for high-rep, muscle-annihilation brutality, you can refer to it as “hell week.” And it’s not just for “effect.” High-rep training within the Y3T cycle is a potent hypertrophy tool that can transform a stubborn muscle group into one that turns heads.

In this bonus FLEX feature, I’ll explain Week 3’s fundamentals and how it can help you achieve the best results of your life. There’s also a full Week 3 program to experience for yourself.

Brace yourself: Shit is about to get serious.

WHY DO HIGH REPS?

There’s both mechanical and systematic stress taking place when your body endures highrep training. Muscle fibers are exposed to new rep ranges that carry a bias toward sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, predominately targeting type I slow-twitch muscle fibers. As a result, there is an uplift in “cell swelling,” which correlates with an increase in sarcoplasmic fluid within the muscle cell.

Another noticeable hypertrophy-supporting by-product of high-rep training is a significant increase in blood flow into the muscle. The sheath that envelops the muscle, known as the fascia, becomes more elastic over time, equating to more room for growth within the area. With increased blood flow also comes better nutrient transportation and assimilation, both of which can support recovery and growth.
