Training hard is essential to making gains.
The type of training that you choose will depend on your goals.
My training is focused on building muscle - the longevity organ!
The more muscle + strength that you have, the better your longevity outcomes will be. Not only do I want to live longer, but I want to age well and be strong, vibrant and able to experience all that life has to offer, no matter my age.
My training may vary depending on what goal I am working towards but my foundational training remains the same.
My Guiding Principles & Training Hacks
Lift Heavy - as heavy as you can with good form
Don't count reps - go to the point of failure
Keep the pressure on - increase the weight over time as the failure point moves further out
Be consistent - create resistance/stress on the body every day - life/move something
Train before meals (particularly if you will be having carbs) - this will move the glucose into your muscles
Avoid cold stress/exposure following a strength training workout - will restrict gains
Build strength training opportunities into your day - do squats while you're cooking dinner!
Set your environment up for success - install a pull up bar in a doorway, have weight stations throughout your house, etc.
Switch it up! Change your training routine often and challenge different muscles through varying of your exercises
I don't often schedule long workouts but rather sprinkle strength training moments/sessions in throughout my day
Lifting heavy is my true hack - less time - more gains
A sauna session/thermal stress following a workout may improve growth - give it a try!
I prioritize strength training over cardio to achieve the best outcomes
