Hey it's 2013, and this is my first post of the new year. You know, with the new year ending in the number 13 I thought I'd hear news reports of people stricken with a serious case of, but I guess the entire media was preoccupied with the whole “fiscal cliff” thing.
Anyways I digress, a lot of people make New Year's resolutions around fitness. 'I'm going to loose weight' or 'I'm going to exercise more' are resolutions made with the best of intentions that are mostly forgotten by February. So to kick of the new year I thought I look back at a once very popular, but now basically kaput fitness system. Personal confession time, I tried the Cybergenics system back in the 1990's. My Cybergenics system didn't come with the entire array of supplements shown in the 1992 ad above (I wonder what's in the bottle with the eyedropper top on the very end). There's some high prices on that ad, and lucky I didn't pay that much for my system. I truly didn't expect to look like Franco Santoriello (the bodybuilder flexing in the upper right corner), but I figured even if it helps a little bit it was worth it.
Cybergenics was heavily advertized on TV. Maybe you remember this sexy commercial. If you didn't like that romance cover model-like spot, how about a 'humorous' one with a former SNL funnyman.
Where have you gone,? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo). Well I didn't find any magic in those supplements that came with the system. The real key to the Cybergenics program was in the small 5 X 4 inch 'Phase 1 Manual.' What was the 'Zero-Effort Principle?' It sounds easy, 'zero-effort,' but in reality it should be called 'maximum-effort.' This training principle is basically to go heavy as possible.
You would first determine what is the maximum weight you could lift in one rep for a given exercise, and then work with 90% or 80% of that weight until failure. For the next set go with 70% or 50% to failure, followed with 40% to failure. In order to correctly archive this you'll need a spotter/workout partner, and a proper gym. Sorry if you were thinking you could do this all alone in your basement with a set of free weights. Anyways the Cybergenics people were at one time making a lot of money off the system, and branched out with a number of different products like a 'mega-fat loss system' called Cybertrim.
Cybergenics was a company that was white hot back in the late 80's and early 90's. They pretty much pioneered a program that involved a lifting, supplements and diet before anyone else. The program was really intense! Although the supplements were not very good, the lifting regimen was very unique and within 90 days of lifting, I was ripped. Before, I had no definition, size or strength.
My bench was 150 and this program blasted my gains. I had many guys asking me if I was juicing. At the time I was in off season from wrestling weighing about 125, by the end of the program I weighed 145 and my bench max was 245. My lifting partner wrestled at 105 and was putting up 210 on bench after 90 days. This program was awesome!
