Pavel Beran - every series to failure

Pavel Beran is not only a member of the EVLS Team, with whom he recently visited the Brno Gibu Gym as part of the EVLS Gym Tour, but also a member of the Czech Virus Team, a well-known and popular company on the domestic scene that produces nutritional supplements.

Pavel was known in his early days as a sparring partner of the controversial bodybuilder, nowadays more of an MMA fighter Filip Grznar, with whom he had very hard training sessions full of heavy weights.

However, Pavel hasn't been using this strategy for some time now and instead tries to feel every muscle he is training as much as possible. As a result, his reps are very slow, felt, and the muscle is under tension for a very long time.
Another training strategy that goes hand in hand with the previous one is to get the muscle to the very edge of failure.

You may have seen one such workout on our site recently, and that was when Pavel took his namesake Pavel Koukal out for a back workout.

Today we have another Pavel's training video for you, directly from the Czech Virus Team production.

In the beginning of the video we learn that Pavel has been in volume training for two months now, that his current weight is 133 kilograms, and he would like it to go up no more. Now he would try to work it all out and get better, after that he would start the next volume phase, and then he would start the preparation for the autumn part of the competition season.

He would also mention what his current training looks like, and that everyone is affected by a different style of training, but one thing should be common to all, and that is that you just have to enjoy training.

Paul currently focuses on both the slow, or endurance muscle fibers in one workout, which he activates with a first work set that lasts over a minute and tries to get them to fail, and the fast, or explosive muscle fibers, which he activates with a second work set that lasts from 20 seconds to a minute. Here again, his goal is to get these fibers to the point of failure.

But enough writing, and let's hear what training tips Pavel himself will tell us in person.
