I saw the recent posts on his training, thought this may be of

interest.

The EVO TRAINING SYSTEM

by Jay Schroeder, Ultra-Fit

Evo Training is a system of high intensity to supra-high intensity

(high-speed, high load, high volume) shock routines targeting

specific physiological traits which are associated with elite

physical performance.

These shock routines are arranged according to their importance for

the specific athlete being trained. Once entering the Evo System, the

athlete proceeds in a specific order through each of these traits as

their body allows. It is the only system that utilizes this specific

method of cycles and it allows the athlete to receive 4-6 weeks of

development in half that time or less; this could be as short as one

week. Of course the athlete must have already attained a base level

of all of the Evo specific traits. The motto " The will to prepare for

results is more important than the will for results " becomes clear as

you progress through the system.

As the athlete becomes more

advanced, the individual traits can be broken down again into these

same specific physiological traits. Evo training elicits only the

response of the specific trait being trained; nothing else is

effected. It completely eliminates the common symptoms of

overtraining, and can become, depending on the level of the athlete,

specific to the very skill being performed without interruption of

the base performance of that skill. Performance of the athlete is

always at a very high level and, upon initiation of training, each of

these physiological traits can be trained to elicit supercompensatory

results. Yes, not just one level of supercompensation, but multiple

levels. This can be manipulated in such a way as to progress through

the competitive season, choosing which level of performance is

desired according to the level of competition. There is no off-season

any longer because there is no need for the outdated separation of

in, pre, post, and off-season training plans. Built into the system

are the strategies necessary to maintain specific traits for extended

periods of time so that others may be heightened.

The following list gives you some of the important qualities,

training techniques and targeted areas of this system. I am sure when

you read these that they will stimulate thought as to specific traits

you need for your specific sporting interest; the Evo training System

is quite adaptive. Maybe the most interesting fact is that this

system works with all ages and meets all the requirements for both

extending health and performance. And it is designed to be a drug-

free program conforming to all IOC and NCAA guidelines. The Evo

Training System will help you reach a higher level of sport mastery

than traditional methods of periodization would dictate. It will

allow you to set much higher standards than you ever considered

possible.

Balance and Coordination

Nervous System Development

Connective Tissue Strength

Maximal Strength Development

A more Forceful and Complete Response to Catching Falling Loads,

Compared to Conventional Lifting Loads.

All Muscle Groups are Involved in the Proportionate Production of

Strength; the Ancillary Muscle Groups Turn On at the Same

Proportionate Rate as the Primary Movers. This eliminates a chance of

injury during performance of the sport skill and also cuts down on

the number of exercises than an athlete has to master to enhance

their sport skill.

Evo Training influences the following physiological traits. These

traits are built and manipulated through specific methodic schedules

and further broken down into sub-traits:

Maximal Velocity

Maximal Force Production

Strength-Endurance (specific to type 2B fibers)

Starting Strength

Acceleration Strength
