MRT vs Hybrid Cardio

I just got back from visiting Nick Nilsson's place in Arizona only to find

my inbox flooded with question about MRT and whether or not it's the

same as "hybrid cardio". 

Before I answer that, lets review why we do "hybrid cardio" in the first

place..........

Q:  What is a hybrid muscle?

A:   When talking about "super hybrid muscle," I'm referring
to a muscle that has essentially been reconfigured, adding mitochondrial
density, which results in a bigger stronger muscle with more endurance
capacity. This is accomplished by combining cardio and strength training
into a single activity.
By combining cardio and resistance activities it causes the composition
of muscles to transform from predominately type II or type IIb into Type III.
By doing this, we are able to push "beyond our genetic limits".
Having more mitochondria in the muscle cells means that more nutrients
can be processed, giving the muscles the ability to work considerably harder
for longer periods.  They're also able to grow larger and are able to resist
getting tired for longer periods.
Q:   How do I build this hybrid muscle?
A:  With "Hybrid Cardio" or what we like to call "resistance cardio" we can
use weights or other resistance training tools to enhance our training by
tapping into the type III muscle fiber.
I like this form of cardio training because it really gets your heart pumping.
By adding the resistance you increase the intensity and can burn more calories
in a shorter period of time.
It's also a time saver.  Rather than doing weights first and using a cardio
machine afterwards you can combine both into a single workout or even a
single exercise.  Besides in our opinion it's just more fun than jogging on a
treadmill.

Q:  Will Metabolic Resistance Training help build hybrid muscle?

A:  Yes it will because "metabolic resistance training" is a new term for 

something I've been talking about for years called "hybrid cardio" or

"resistance cardio".

It works, it works well and yes it will help you build the super hybrid

muscle fiber that utilizes more fat for energy.

I'm very happy to see that other fitness experts are starting to spread the

word on this.  In fact if you're looking for more "hybrid cardio" workouts to

add to your routine I suggest you take a look at Joel Marion and Craig

Ballantyne's 24/7 Fat Loss program that was just released today for $30 off.

These workouts would make a great addition to your LHM Reloaded program

and can be used as a plug-in.
