Transformation Talks

In today's episode of Transformation Talks, you're going to learn how to set up the most effective workout program for your goals, in a world of seemingly endless conflicting information about how to do this.We'll get into different training "splits" (set-ups) for different schedules, how to add cardio, how I personally structure my workouts, and more.Two important notes that'll make sense once you listen:I didn't discuss body part splits in much depth since I don't love them for most of my clients. But that doesn't mean they're bad, or never work. Just not my go-to for most clientsI said lower body "push" and "pull" when explaining movement patterns, as a way of keeping things simple. But to better clarify: a lower body "push" is Squat-type movement, and a lower body "pull" is a hinge, like an RDL or a Hip Thrust.Here's the free program you'll hear me mention at the end of the episode: https://hercules-performance.kit.com/9e5865d1c3I'd love to know what you think, and if you have any question here: mail@samforget.comApply for coaching here for even more guidance and support here: https://samforget.com/coaching/
