 Hey everybody, Lance Quakey here. Today we're gonna discuss the Alactic Anaerobic Energy System. So we've already talked about, you know, an overview of the three energy systems and yesterday's video we talked about the aerobic system itself. That system that requires oxygen to make some energy. Now, what we're gonna talk about today, the Alactic Anaerobic System, that one's different because we don't need so much oxygen to make that work. But the coolest part of this is that it's only one step. I just take a creatine phosphate and I put a phosphate onto an ADP, an adenosine tri, or diphosphate, and make it a triphosphate. So that one little thing, it puts all this negative charge together and that's this potential energy that we can then use for energy later on. That's a little bit more than anybody wanted to know. But I think that's really cool, right? It's this chemistry that's causing this power to be released in muscle contractions and what have you. So the Alactic Anaerobic Energy System, I'm really gonna try not to misspeak during these. So I'm gonna emphasize all these words. The Alactic Anaerobic Energy System is very short, it's just that one step, that creatine phosphate. And because it's so short, you can kind of compare this to the aerobic energy system that we talked about in the last video. Since that one was really complicated, it was really slow, right? Do you remember that? But it's also really malleable. Now, if we flip it and we take away all those little steps, all that little room for improvement and we get down to just one simple step, well, then it sounds like a marketing video. One simple step to creating more energy. If we get down to just one step, there's a lot less that we can impact. Like we can put more creatine in the area and then we can maybe squeeze out a couple extra seconds of energy production from this Alactic Anaerobic Energy System or this Phosphogen System is another name for it. But there's not really a whole lot else that we can do there. We can maybe make more enzymes that are putting that on there. Creatine kinase, I believe. Not important. Anyways, it's less malleable though, much less malleable than the aerobic energy system. So in our training, we're probably gonna spend more time trying, from an energy systems perspective, trying to develop the aerobic energy system as a general physical preparation kind of thing, kind of quality that we're developing. Whereas this Phosphogen System or this Alactic Anaerobic Energy System is providing the energy for most of our weight lifting sets. So like if I do a set of three, that's over in 10 seconds, probably depending on how hard it is. It's over in about 10 seconds. So that is primarily coming from this Alactic Anaerobic Energy System.
