1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of Wisdom Wednesdays. Last

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: week I talked about why we need to lift heavy

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: shit as well as doing cardiovascular training, and just for

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: a very brief review, cardiovascular training or cardiovascular fitness is

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: the single biggest predictor of longevity. And behind that becomes

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: your muscle strength or muscle mass, as they do in

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: some studies, but really it's a combination of having a

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: significant amount of muscle but also using that muscle and

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: making it strong, and that has been shown to have

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: really significant impacts on our not only longevity, but also

11
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: on our quality of life because sarcopania, which is the

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: loss of muscle over time, is one of the actual

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: biggest drivers of poor quality of life. And then if

14
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: you lose muscle mass, particularly our fast twitched fibers, you're

15
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: more likely to fall over and break a hip. And

16
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: we know that if you're in your sixties or seventies

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: or older and you fall over and break a hip,

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: it's a pretty bad prognosis. Now, I just need.

19
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: To flag there's a made of mind who's in his sixties.

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: He's just fallen over and broken a hip.

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: But that wasn't because of cyclopedia that was just bad

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: luck slipping on wet grind, but it's a bloody long recovery,

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: so good luck, Craig. What we really need to be

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: doing then is a combination of cardivascar training and resistance training.

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: So in this I'm going to give a bit of

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: an overview for different scenarios. So starting with both beginners

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and people who just want to have improved functional capacity

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: good quality of life, I think that doing circuit based

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: resistance training two to three full body sessions per week

30
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: is really all that you need, and machines can be

31
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: good in this phase, particularly if you're a beginner, But

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you then want to go to exercises where you're having

33
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: to control the weights, and we can talk about the

34
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: amount of repetitions that you do, but actually when we're

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: doing circuit based training, I actually prefer to use time

36
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: under tension, so that is just for.

37
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: How long you work.

38
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: So ideally we would be doing thirty seconds under tension,

39
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: so you're doing as many repetitions as you can do

40
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: in thirty seconds. For some exercises that's more repetitions, for

41
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: some exercises that's less repetitions, but just having that work

42
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: rest ratio, you would maybe start off if you're a

43
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: beginner at one to one, work for thirty seconds, rest

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: for thirty seconds, and then you want to progress that

45
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: to three to one, right where you're doing thirty seconds

46
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: of rest and ten seconds of recovery. But there may

47
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: be an intermediate step or a couple of intermediate steps

48
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: that you go from thirty seconds ress to twenty seconds rest,

49
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: to fifteen seconds rest, then to ten And I actually

50
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: like to design these with what are known as primal

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: movement patterns, made quite famous by a guy called Paul

52
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Chek who's a brilliant exercise scientist and basically identified and

53
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't just him, but he really brought it into

54
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: the fitness industry. These primal movement patterns. Seven of them

55
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: have been identified. Push, bend, rotate, squat, pull, lunge, and

56
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: then gate. So gate is walking and running, and we

57
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: take car of gate with our cardiovascular training. So the

58
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: way that I like to train this, and I do

59
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: this quite often this type of programming, is that I'll

60
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: do a work rest ratio of one to one. So

61
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing our story three to one, so I'm doing

62
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: thirty seconds on ten seconds off, and I alternate upper

63
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: and lower bodies. So for instance, I do then push,

64
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: then bend, then rotate, then squat, then pull, then lunch.

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: So a couple of things here is really making sure

66
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: in any exercise that you emphasize the eccentric portion. That's

67
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the lowering of the weight, or if you're doing a

68
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: lat pulled down, it's the raising of the weight. But

69
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: it's when you're you're not shortening your muscle, you're lengthening

70
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: your muscle, and a lot of people waste that part

71
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: of the exercise and that's a really important part of

72
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: the exercise. So if we're looking at that sort of

73
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: a training program, I'm just going to give you some exercises.

74
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: So in push this would include all push ups, bench press,

75
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: cable presses, shoulder presses, triceps press, push downs, things like that,

76
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: anything where you're doing pushing movements. Then squat things like

77
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: a back squat, a front squat, a goblet squat where

78
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: you're holding something a weight at your chest, things like

79
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: a sumo squat. You can also do box jumps or

80
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: a squat type of movement. You can do wall squats,

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: and then you can do single leg squats. Then for pulling,

82
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: we're thinking of things like chin ups and pull downs,

83
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: lap pull downs, seeded row, bent over row, kettlebell cleans,

84
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: bicep curls. All of those things are pulling type motions.

85
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Then for bending, that's things like dead lifts, Romanian dead lifts,

86
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: kettlebell swings, stiff leg dead lifts, hip thrusts, and lying bridges.

87
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: And then rotate would be exercises such as wood chops,

88
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: cable rotation, Russian twists, and sitting down with a medicine ball,

89
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: a kettlebell cross clean. And then this thing called a torsinator,

90
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: which is a great exercise and you can look these

91
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: up if you don't understand what they are. And then

92
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: the lunging type things. You have a static lunge where

93
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: one leg is in front and ones behind and you're

94
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: just bending down to one knee hits the ground and

95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: then coming back up. You can do walking lunges with

96
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: weight or without weight. You can do a reverse lunge

97
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: of forward lunch. Then you can do things like side lunges,

98
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: which I am a big fan of clock lunges, and

99
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: then jumping lunges which get into the whole pliometrics things.

100
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: And then you can just run that session where you

101
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: pick one exercise from each one of those and you

102
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: do a circuit. So you're doing six exercises in your

103
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: circuit thirty seconds work and then the rest is anywhere

104
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: between ten and thirty seconds depending on your training history.

105
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: And do that circuit four times. That means you will

106
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: get twenty four sets, and that will probably be under

107
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, depending on your rest period. Certainly, when I

108
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: do the thirty ten it's under twenty minutes, but when

109
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: you include a warm up and a cool down, there's

110
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: minutes and you're done, and you're getting the full body

111
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: movement and doing those two to three times a week

112
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: where you just pick different exercises when you're going in

113
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: for the vast majority of people, that will get you

114
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: really good health and longevity benefits. Now, as your training advances,

115
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: we want to have the principle of progressive overload. You

116
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: need to progressively overload the system in order to continue

117
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: to stimulate adaptation. And the way we do that is

118
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: we increase the weight, or we reduce the rest period,

119
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: or we increase the volume. So you might start with

120
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: three circuits and then eventually you move to four circuits,

121
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: and then you just put a bit more weight on

122
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: as you go because we've got to continue to stimulate

123
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: those muscles. So now let's talk about if you want

124
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: other benefits, So particularly if you want to do more

125
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: traditional type training, or you want to increase the size

126
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: of one or more muscles, or you really want to

127
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: increase your strength. Right, So, there is a difference in

128
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: training for hYP hypertrophy, which is muscle growth, and training

129
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: for strength.

130
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: So hypertrophy is basically.

131
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: A volume game. You want to be doing high amounts

132
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: of volume, and we want certain metabolic adaptations with that volume.

133
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: So we tend to have more sets and a higher

134
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: weekly volume compared to strength training, but we have slightly

135
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: less weight when we're doing hypertrophy. When you're doing strength training,

136
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: intensity is key. If you want to get stronger, you

137
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: have to lift heavier stuff, so we tend to have

138
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: lower repetitions. So typically in strength training you have one

139
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: to six repetition maximum. That means you can't lift any

140
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: more weight. So a six ram is the maximum weight

141
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: you can lift six times. What are am training typically

142
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: is really only done by athletes that's a very high

143
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: injury risk, so it's typically three to six repetitions and

144
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the other time, sorry, you would do one RM is

145
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: to assess your one repetition maximum. Again, but you can

146
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: do just a three RM, so it's not something doing

147
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: this one RM or one RM training isn't not typically

148
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: done for building strength unless you.

149
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: Are that elite athlete.

150
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: So typically, as I said, three to six is the

151
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: range that you need to be looking for whenever you're

152
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: building strength. And again you cannot lift any more than that,

153
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: whereas when we're talking hypertrophy, anywhere from six we used

154
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: to say six to twelve, Now we even see up

155
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: to thirty repetitions can actually get hyperchaphy training, And it's

156
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: not a bad idea, particularly if you're a beginner, to

157
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: do those higher rep ranges, to do more repetitions with

158
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: lighter weight because it's generally easier to do. And and

159
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: in the beginning, a lot of your adaptations are going

160
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: to be neuromuscular, so how your nervous system interacts with

161
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: your muscular system. And then when we're talking about rest periods,

162
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: if you're doing hypertrophee training, you basically want lower rest periods,

163
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: and there's a range of rest periods depending on what

164
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: type of exercises you're doing. When you're doing those big

165
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: compound lifts like squats and deadlifts, maybe up to ninety

166
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: seconds or as low as thirty seconds, So typically either thirty,

167
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: sixty or ninety seconds rest between set. But you're really

168
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: not looking to fully recover because you do want a

169
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: bit of lactic acid to kick off metabolic adaptations, whereas

170
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: with strength training you want to be recovered completely. So

171
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: typically the rest between sets for strength trainings anywhere between

172
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: two and five minutes, and again this will be influenced

173
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: by how long you want to spend in the gym,

174
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: like resting five minute between sets. If you're doing a

175
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: lot of sets, that's a long time in the gym.

176
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: So for thinking again about hypertrophy training to build muscle,

177
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: that circuit that I talked about is still very useful

178
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: for hyperchait feed training for most people on this year

179
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: you're really competitive bodybuilder or you're really wanting to hone

180
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: into things. But this is where you can also be

181
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: doing things like supersets, which can really reduce your time

182
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: in the gym and still get you the same results. So,

183
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: for instance, you might be training pushing polar chest and back,

184
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: so you might do set of bench press and then

185
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: a set of rows straight away, and then you rest

186
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: for your sixty or ninety seconds and then go and

187
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: repeat the super set again. And you can use the

188
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: same protocol if you're doing strength training. You can still

189
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: do super sets and then have your two to five

190
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: minute rest between them to reduce that overall time in

191
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: the gym without really compromising your results. So let's talk

192
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: about what a strength training program might look like. Like

193
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I said, the repetitions are pretty low, typically three to

194
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: six unless you're really advanced, and your sets would be high,

195
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: three to six sets per exercise, and then you've got

196
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: high intensity. You're looking at eighty five to ninety five

197
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: percent of your one R repetition maximum. And then your

198
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: rec peers tend to be a little bit longer, but

199
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: recent research that I've seen suggest that two minutes is

200
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: probably optimal and you might not need more than that.

201
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: We're really here looking for neural adaptations, so the nervous system.

202
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: This is a hard nervous system workout, and you are

203
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: looking to recruit those what we call high threshold motor units.

204
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: They're typically your fast twitched fibers, and these are the

205
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: ones that we tend to lose as we get older,

206
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: which is why I say to people, you've gotta left

207
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: heavy shit right, And we're really looking at less lactate here.

208
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: We're more about that ATPPC, and there's less metabol extress

209
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: and compared to hypertaphe training, so there's a little bit

210
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: more res less of the whole superset thing. Unless, as

211
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: I said earlier, you're in a hurry and you want

212
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: to get in and out of the gym quickly, then

213
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: you can do supersets, and we typically say we're doing

214
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: three to four days a week. You want your total

215
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: volume to be fifteen to twenty five sets per muscle group,

216
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 1: less if you're less experienced, higher if you're more experienced,

217
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: and we could split upper lower, or we could do

218
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: full body right, and we really hear want to be

219
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: doing the big compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench press,

220
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: overhead press, pull ups, those sorts of things, and the

221
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: idea is that we're increasing the weight gradually while maintaining

222
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: pretty good form. So a walkout maybe or a layout

223
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: might be day one, we're going to do four sets

224
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: of heavy squats, five repetitions your five red max. Then

225
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: we might do four sets bench press again on a

226
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: five red max, four sets of ben over rows on

227
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: a five red max, and then four sets of overhead

228
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: press again with five repetitions. Then you might do a

229
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: rest day or do your cardio on day two. Then

230
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: you come in and day three you might do deadlifts

231
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: four or five sets of three to five repetitions. Then

232
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: you do pull ups four and if you're strong, they

233
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: could be weighted. Doing five repetitions are really accentiating the

234
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: ecentric and like lowering very very slowly. You might do dips,

235
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: or if you're strong, you might do weighted dips again

236
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: four sets of five repetitions, and then maybe barbelle cars

237
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: and four sets of five repetitions, and then you do

238
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: another rest day, and then day five might you go

239
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: back to squats and do five sets of three to five.

240
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Then you might do bench press similar five sets of

241
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: three to five, might do some row those five sets

242
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: of three to five, and then overhead press five sets

243
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: of three to five. Now that when you're doing those

244
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: high volume are those high intensities, that is a hard

245
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: nervous system workout, and this will actually significantly increase your

246
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: strength in quite a short period of time and particularly

247
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: if you don't have years and years of training, you

248
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: can get quite significant increases in strength reasonably quickly.

249
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: So hopefully that gives you a bit of an overview.

250
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: But just to summarize, if you just want basic health

251
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: benefits and good longevity benefits, two to three full body

252
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: workouts per week and doing those circuit based training, and

253
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: then if you want to increase the size of particular muscles,

254
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: you could do hypertrophy. And then if your main goal

255
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: is around strength, then we need those higher intensities, those

256
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: higher weights and a bit more rest period. But you

257
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: could also do two full body circuit BIS training workouts

258
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: a week and then do one on particularly on strength

259
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: if you want to get stronger legs, or one high

260
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: percha fee one. So there's no real hard and fast rules,

261
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: and you can mix this all up. And what I

262
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: mean by mixing it all up is that the thinking

263
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: used to be that when you're doing a periodized program,

264
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: which is when you focus on certain things in blocks,

265
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: so you might do four to six weeks of strength training,

266
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: then four to six weeks of hypercha fhee training. Now

267
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: it's actually pretty valid. The research shows you can do

268
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: a strength workout on a Monday and a hypercha feed

269
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: workout on a Wednesday, and so you can actually periodize

270
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: within a week. And that's often when I'll do I'll

271
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: do some all body sessions and then i might just

272
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: pick a strength training session or pick a muscle group

273
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: or a couple of muscle groups and do a hyperchaphy

274
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: session in a week. So you can just be a

275
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: little bit random. Now, if you're an app salute a

276
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: lead athlete, you might mess out on some games there,

277
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: but I think for most of us, it's just about

278
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: mixing it up and keeping it interesting so you can

279
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: change what you do within a week. That's perfectly okay.

280
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: So hopefully this gives you a bit of a guide

281
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: around lifting heavy shit. And like I said, it's not

282
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: completely comprehensive, but it's just about giving you some pointers

283
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: and a little bit of the research so that you

284
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: can create your own program.

285
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: So go lift heavy shit. Catch you next time.
