Episode notes
One Lift A Day Works For Most People
- Do one compound lift per day to build consistency and capture most strength-training benefits.
- Pick progressive compound moves and aim for progressive overload while staying active the rest of the day.
Tiny Stimuli Yield Big Returns
- Very small doses of strength work can prevent muscle loss and drive meaningful adaptation.
- The biggest gains come from consistency, not massive weekly training volume.
Run A Rotating Eight-Day Cycle
- Run an ordered rotation (e.g., the Great Eight) and cycle through one exercise each day rather than forcing a 7-day schema.
- If you miss a day, pair exercises the next day; consistency beats perfect weekly structure.
