Episode notes
Pick Your Own Training Split
- Choose a training split that suits your individual needs instead of copying others.
- Full body, upper/lower, and hybrid upper/lower/full body splits are effective options to start with.
Train Heavy, Adjust for Joints
- Train heavy mostly in the 4-10 rep range for strength and joint health benefits.
- If joints hurt, increase reps to 10-12 or switch to machine exercises that feel better.
Rest Long Between Sets
- Rest 2 to 3 minutes between sets to maximize strength gains.
- Shorter rests cause significant performance drop-off in subsequent sets.
