Peripheral Heart Action, better known as PHA is a “system” that we use to construct training templates for the majority of our clientele. It was developed by Dr. Arthur Steinhaus and brought to the forefront of the fitness world by 1960’s legendary body builder and Mr. America/Mr. Universe title holder, Bob Gajda. The PHA method was specifically designed to keep the blood circulating throughout the body during an entire workout. PHA sounds curiously similar to circuit training or even GPP (General Physical Preparedness) but differs in that PHA’s emphasis is not in bringing a localized pump to single muscle group. The basic approach requires choosing exercises that will demand blood to pump to extreme ends of the body. This is specifically so blood doesn’t localize and develop a lactic acid build up. This is where PHA differs in comparison to most traditional training methods. The typical DIVISION ONE PHA workout requires an individual to use a handful of exercises that stress the lower, upper, and, then, centralized musculature with the intention of moving seamlessly between exercises. Now that you have the “know”, let’s go. “YOU CAN DO IT”
