There are three biochemical means in which energy is provided for all human action. They are phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative. In other words your body gets energy in three ways depending on the demands of the activity you are participating in. We call these energy sources metabolic pathways or energy pathways. Wether you realize it or not we have been training in all three.
The phosphagen pathway provides the bulk of energy used in high powered activities, those that last less than ten seconds.
The glycotic pathway provides energy for activities that last up to several minutes.
The oxidative pathway provides energy for low-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutes.
There are a lot of complex process that go into energy production and we will skim across that in future blogs but, for this blog I want you to give me an example of an activity that we have done in class that trains each of the metabolic pathways listed above.

Muscle memory is a process where the brain learns certain motions automatically, and conditions the movement of muscles in certain actions. It is useful because if developed correctly, it makes using correct form in exercises easier and more consistant.

In our circuits we need the quick energy for bursts for one individual exercise, the medium length of energy for the first few runs through the circuit and then the last amount of energy for the longest exercises for the remaining several minutes of the metcon circuit.
The phosphagen pathway is used I suppose whenever we do a bench press, push press, etc. for the most weight we can do.
The glycotic pathway was used for the metacons when we have to use a lot of energy over a long period of time.
The oxidative pathway was used on our active cool down day when we played football for about 20 minutes.

pretty much all of th excerzises we do use all three. Cindy is a good example. so are pull ups and crunches.

Phosphagen Pathway- Hollow Man
Glycotic Pathway- Cindy's
Oxidative Pathway- Running the mile
Samuel Reinhold
Phosphagen is used for things like the deadlift and bench press.
Gylcotic for metcons like the Cindy,
And oxidative for things like the mile run.
Phosphagen pathway is used when we do heavy lifting such as dead lifts.
Glycotic pathway is used when we do activites like sit up and pushups
oxidative pathway is used when we do activites such as running the mile or active rest days
-Josh Meltzer
The phosphagen pathway might be used when we are doing maxes. For example the deadlift we did on Thursday.
The glycotic pathway might be used for workouts we do each day including the bench press, squats, etc.
The oxidative pathway might be used during the warm-ups we do everyday before starting our actual workouts, also during our stretches.

The phosphagen pathway is used when we lift heavy weights like a bench press or dead lift.
The glycotic pathway is used when we use our maximum energy like the cindy.
The oxidative pathway is used for running, jump rope, football, etc.
Jin Jung
phosphagen pathway is for bench squat deadlift
glycotic pathway is for metcon like cindy
oxidative is during active rest days

The phosphagen pathway is used when we do a lift like bench press or squat. The glycotic pathway was used for the metacons. The oxidative pathway was used on active rest days when we play a sport for like 30 minutes. - Max Ambrosino

The phosphagen pathway is when we do our deadlift, bench press, or etc.
The glycotic pathway is when we do pushups, pullups, situps, or etc.
The oxidative pathway is when we run mile, play football, and other exercises.
Oxidative is exercised on an easy mile run, or active rest.
Phosphagen is any of our lifting exercises (squats, benchpress, deadlift, jerk press...etc.)
Glycotic is worked by any metcon (Michael, Filthy Fifty, Cindy...etc.)
- Henry Voss
The phosphagen pathway is used in fast muscle surges like the power clean
The glycotic pathway is used inan aerobic exercises such as sprints
The oxidative pathway is used in aerobic exercises such as biking for long periods of time
