Episode notes
Consolidate Stressful Sessions
- Consolidate conflicting stresses by grouping similar sessions on the same day to free recovery days for other work.
- Split strength into lower, upper and full-body sessions and pair intense endurance work with compatible gym sessions.
Don’t Chase Failure Every Set
- You don't need to take every set to failure to stimulate growth; stopping with reps in reserve still works.
- Preserve performance across sets by leaving 2–3 reps in the tank except maybe on the final set.
Plan For Slow Muscle Gains
- Expect slow lean-mass gains and plan for a multi-week to multi-month approach to building muscle.
- Track food for 10–14 days and use body-composition measures, not daily scale changes, to judge progress.
