Training Intensity and Muscle Recruitment

Exploring the importance of training intensity, this chapter discusses how to assess if one is pushing hard enough during workouts by observing training velocity, emotional cues, and feedback. An analogy of muscle recruitment to using nukes in a fight highlights the need to engage more muscle fibers for effective training. The chapter also delves into individual pain perception, genetic tolerance, and the varying responses people have to discomfort during training, emphasizing the need to progressively challenge clients to assess their true effort.
