I definitely believe you can go hard and get a phenomenal workout within a time frame of an hour and a half. After that though your gonna burnout and quit. Nobody can keep that drive that long but 60 minutes seems to be ideal for most people.
How would this tie in to skill/endurance training. For example I am training for a kickboxing match (lets not worry about weight classes at this time, more muscle is good). If I am looking to build strength, explosiveness, and cardio how would I incorporate an exercise that is very time consuming like rounds on a heavy bag?
@@bigz1553 Thanks that makes sense. I am finding that warming up with some light technical work on the bag and then doing strength training a couple of times a week seems to be decent. Then I have days focused on just drilling. I was just curious what others thought. Its still an odd balance as I am not a professional athlete, just a hobbies with high standards lol.
Honestly my golden rule is have four good solid sets per muscle sector/group do it a couple times a week then every now and then throw in some odd ball exercises to hit those hard to hit muscles that traditional exercises don't hit.
Sounds about right. I've been getting in 3-5 sets of 14 exercises since the '90s (after my son was born), when I ditched the 6-day split routine and went back to my high school athletics 3-day, whole-body built around the classics: deadlift, squat, barbell row, bench, and military, super-setted as antagonist exercises (eg, row & bench) or non-related (eg. Deadlift and curls). Excluding warm-up and cool-down, it takes me around 90-minutes. It helps that I do have very good muscular endurance, even at 55. I always have. Probably genetic since I've always amazed my workout partners, often doing 2-sets to their 1. BTW, if I'm tight on time, I can complete a 14-exercise workout in 35-45 minutes using a cable machine. I love not having to lug dumbbells or plates, and the constant tension your muscles are under. But you need to adapt (eg, subbing pull-throughs for deadlifts). And the resistance is often at an odd angle (eg, squats pull you forward and down, not straight down). Still, in a pinch, it's a great alternative with a full range of motion (I dislike machines since machine leg extensions, leg curls, and shoulder presses aggravate old sports injuries).
Like the 3 day total body antagonist super sets also. Sine of my workouts go on for 90 minutes if I'm feeling good and have the time to kill, ut for me the while ide of the super sets and total body is to simplify and save time. The goal is to get in a d out in under an hour. I have a family life. And a full time job. If I didn't have those things, I would spend a lot more time in the gym because it's the only time I really feel good.
A lot of fitness videos assume you have empty gyms and all the machines 😅 I don't even have a dedicated incline bench which is in almost all the chest recommendations
I just quit the gym over this reason. It's impossible to track progressive overload because the time between getting to one equipment to the next to start your next exercise can vary greatly. I'm back to working out at home. Ok, I don't have a squat rack and other fancy machines ect...but I have dumbells, kettlebells and bands and I can find ways to make an exercise harder with these. But the most important thing is that I can accurately control the rest times even when changing exercises which accurately monitors my progress. In the gym I don't know if my progression is due to the extra breather that I get while waiting for equipment or is ut in the actual lifting.
Would've been great if you could clarify that 60 minutes is at programed training loads and doesn't include general warmup, mobility, and activation work. All in, my time in the gym is 90 minutes, and about 60 of that is at programmed loads for sets/reps.
Another fantastic video. I feel good because you re-enforced some of my own ideas on programming but I also got my mind stretched on just how best to calculate. May I ask, this would be best performed in a dedicated studio. What are your thoughts on commercial gyms? Sometimes I have to get very created and think hard about peek times and equipment availability. A Tri Set at Planet Fitness seems almost impossible. (No, I do not train at Planet Fitness just am example. ;p)
Not impossible at Planet Fitnees but you do need to be conscious of the times you go to the gym like you said. My tri-sets are usually like a Kettlebell tri set or KB with calisthenics. I go at 5am so don't need to wait on people but at 5pm then its more of a struggle (when using machines)
I like a 2 hour work because I can spilt easier between runs Strentgh focous on sets low reps With more targeting I feel great between my cardio 3 mile-Tone-Strentgh-Cool down
@@paulscheufler6208 I do super sets with dumbbells. One day I’ll do shoulder press, bicep curls, side raises, shrugs. On other days I do pushups (400-500 throughout the day) with dips and bent over rows. Simple stuff.
How Ive been splitting my workouts is doing Push/Pull/Legs using supersets to hit antagonistic muscles like you talked about, or a muscle that isnt particularly focused on for the day. For instance, I'll do bench press then superset with trapbar shrugs to hit a pull muscle. Its not the greatest design of a workout, but its been effective thus far, and I want to try and continue making it better.
I finally got a barbell at home and want to do 5x5 to get stronger but I also want to get stronger at Calisthenics. Would I be better off throwing a few Calisthenics in at the end or would I be better off doing A, B , Calisthenics, B, A, Calisthencs?
@@serendipity--- I will probably superset once I get stronger. I’m still doing both pull-ups and dips with bands so rest between sets is important while I work on strength
The American Olympics team bench presses 75 lbs which is very good and India does 459 lbs and they get most accolades and recognition. Lets jack American at 1700 lbs there thats execution baby.
Hi! I saw a few of your releases in passing, well, it's clear that these are not weightlifters and the technique of performing movements is not very high, well, that's okay. one request .....do not step over the bar and go around it first yourself, and secondly teach the young people who are in your gym. this immediately and instantly identifies amateurs in weightlifting .The projectile must be respected and only bypassed. This is how they teach us from the first steps in weightlifting. Good luck!
Most of his clients are football, track&field, and combat sport’s athletes. He has videos of actual Olympic and powerlifting clients who have great form.
Leg extensions are bad for the knees, unless you try to turn them into a strength movement, although I would say the bodyweight leg extension aka the reverse Nordic curl is so much better because of the intense pump you get and the intense stretch you get
Nonsense ! I have been doing leg extension every single legs days BEFORE any squats or deadlifts,or leg press. I have ZERO knee pain... stop spreading BS
