WTF! WOW (Workout Of the Week)

NEURODENSE
Written by : Fabien Loaec

Ok so yesterday we learnt all about NEURODENSE, what it is how it works and why….but first let’s do a quick recap.

What is Neurodense?

The Neuro Side:

Remember there are 5 Unique Profiles

In the realm of Neurodense, the identification of the five distinct profiles (Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Blue) proves to be fundamental. Each of these profiles corresponds to unique neurochemical characteristics, influencing not only the individual response to training but also motivation, performance, and mental well-being.

The need for different programs for each profile arises from the fact that uniform workouts can not only harm motivation but also exert excessive stress, risking the compromise of mental and physical balance.

The RED Profile:
Requires intense training to maintain motivation and boost performance.
NEEDS:
- Intensity - High self-esteem - Neurological work (heavy) - Short workouts - Competitive spirit - High weekly volume - Low stress - Dislikes authority - Extroverted - Indifferent to others’ opinions - Bigger by being stronger 

The YELLOW Profile: on the other hand, benefits more from slightly more varied training with a focus on explosive work.
NEEDS:
- Explosive, agile - Naturally athletic - Plyometrics - Imaginative, creative - Impatient - Utilizes stretch reflex, momentum - Multitasker - Low stress - Good recovery (nervous work) - Quick learner - Competitive - Lead by example - Thrives on challenges 

The GREEN Profile: requires frequent changes in training to avoid boredom and stimulate motivation.
NEEDS:
- Need for variation - Neurological/muscular mix - Adapts easily to all situations - Able to understand people well - Good actors - Indecisive/Procrastinator - Cares about others' opinions - Hates being left out - Can’t say no to please others - High volume with little rest - Good in team sports 

The PURPLE Profile: feels the need for sensation in training; feeling congestion and handling large volumes of work doesn't faze them.
NEEDS:
- Sensation - Muscular work, pump, high volume - Anxious - Hard on themselves - Need to be loved by others - Lends a sympathetic ear - Emotional - Empathetic - Puts others before themselves - Chocking under pressure - Stronger by being more muscular 

The BLUE Profile: is the most prone to stress and anxiety. This profile needs structure, control, and a routine.
NEEDS:
- Needs structure and rules - Perfectionist - Introverted - Pragmatic - Analytical - Patient - Good at following a plan, routine - Doesn’t like to take risks - Observant, not impulsive - Dislikes sudden change - Attention to detail - Needs control of movement - Likes routine 

Adopting specific training programs for each profile is essential to respect individual neurochemical needs, prevent motivation exhaustion, and maintain psychophysical balance. It's a foolproof way to ensure that everyone progresses at their own pace while keeping motivation and well-being in a personalized approach with Neurodense. 

The Physical side:

Keegan Smith's Dense Strength method emphasizes simple, effective, and time-efficient workouts for optimal results.

An example of these kins of workouts:
10D1 Meaning…….
10 rounds (each round completed at the start of every minute)
1 HEAVY rep (this should be hard but also a high chance of completing every round…JUST!)

SO….What does a Workout look like?

Below you will see a breakdown of a week of running through a NEURODENSE workout based on the colour profiles.

Push Movements: Any exercises that are involved with pushing movements
examples:

  • Barbell overhead press.

  • Barbell bench press.

  • Barbell push press.

  • Barbell shoulder press.

  • Barbell push press.

  • Dumbbell bench press.

  • Dips.

  • Push ups.

  • Handstand push ups.


Pull Movements: Any exercises that are involved with pulling movements
examples:

  • Deadlifts.

  • Pull ups.

  • Chin ups.

  • Muscle Ups.


Leg Movements: Any exercises that are involving the legs
examples:

  • Squats (all types)

  • Pistol Squats.

This really is a unique and transformative training style that works personally on the connection of the body to the mind.

We would love for you to take the quiz see where your at and then give this one week an example a go, and see the results.
