But I think for far more people, the gym is a tool to create a body that can do things in the outside world, including feel refreshed.

And so that's why when we started off today and you said, well, in principle, one could get away with training once per week, whole body, but you'd have to put so much intensity, you'd probably feel like garbage for the next two or three days.

And then pretty good for the remainder of the week, maybe divide that into like two or three workouts, right?

Or this lower, upper, lower, upper, lower sounds great,

But five days a week of training, even if it's, you know, varying the lifts, et cetera, just even like commuting the same way to the gym.

I don't want to sound overly lazy here, but again, people have stuff to do.

It would be awesome if people would look at their schedule, I think, and say, you know, how many days a week can I go to the gym and really put real work into it?

Progressive overload, focus training, all these things.

How much time can I really dedicate to that?

And then back engineer the ideal split and way to work out from there.

Is that something that is, it seems, I just want to check myself on this.

I'm not proposing this as much as I just want your thoughts on this as a trainer who's trained so many people and including people who are not physique athletes and just like people who want to like have a great shaped body, be lean, be strong, live a long time, feel awesome.

This is on the sixth floor of an apartment.

No wonder they didn't want you to have weights in there.

You'd drop through the floor.

Yeah, that's hard to do.

I mean, I love training.

And part of the reason I set that frequency at three times per week, I trained four times per week from, you know, from time to time.

But is it I love training and I love making progress.

And I don't like.
