THRESHOLD

Threshold, and specifically "threshold intensity" is a key part of my philosophy & principles.

To create change we need a stimulus above what we already receive to encourage an adaptation to take place. This is 'threshold intensity' - ie a stimulus level that forces your body to change and adapt to a new level.

When you train - the key is this QUALITY, not any quantity amount. Think of it as a "money-making" - ie. when you go to work you don't do it for minimum wage reward, you instead aim for maximum pay per the time you worked - "the money-making zone!"

Your body is the same when you train - it's not amount just accumulating time at very low stimulus (ie. the min. wage) - the only exciting area is when you clinch a highly rewarding big dealS and get maximum $ return - this is the THRESHOLD INTENSITY.

We you are in the THRESHOLD INTENSITY it's like you're in a mini "money-making bonanza" - fill your pockets! Exactly like training - it's continuing at that very instant when your systems are 'enjoying' the optimum adaptation environment - if you stop in the THRESHOLD INTENSITY - you turn off your "money-making" and simply go back to "minimum wage" - you're still applying effort, but getting very little reward.

You see it all areas of business - the key to success by all the high-fliers is their incredible return on their time. Every minute they spend on a business deal, they get optimum $ return.
The Pineapple style of training achieves exactly that - OPTIMUM return for your TIME and ENERGY. (Very concise efforts that achieve the optimum results)

Here's a nice quote that exemplifies this (remember the "money-making zone isn't easy - but it's where all the reward and 'goodness' is
“the Iron ore feels itself needlessly tortured as it goes through the furnace.
The tempered blade looks back and knows better”

JUICE-UP!
