I'll tell you who I think will look better, men and women, I think the people that focus on quality.

And that raises a new question.

See, I would disagree.

I'd say the quantity group.

You mean just heavier for more reps?

I have a thought around the role of the gym and training and recovery as it relates to how one feels outside of the gym.

I don't think I'm alone in this, although I've never heard anyone bring this up

kind of like formally introducing the topic which is for many people including myself the reason i train three times a week different body parts each time i train is because i also like to run the other reason is i love to train but after three or four days a week of resistance training i'm not as excited to resistance train i want to arrive in the gym excited to resistance train

I also have other things in my life and it's not just a matter of time.

If I'm training with the kind of intensity and frequency to maximize hypertrophy,

A lot of times I'm tired.

I need a bit more sleep and I'm not going to get that sleep.

I have a very, very full life.

I often say my dance card is very full and I think I'm not alone in this.

So I feel like for a lot of people, the ideal training frequency for them has something to do with, yes, they want bigger glutes.

And yes, they want to be leaner.

And yes, they're willing to work hard in the gym, but that they also have to acknowledge like the real life constraints.

Like how often are they really able to train five days a week?

Maybe in certain phases of the year they are, but I found it to be very beneficial to kind of set a minimum of three workouts per week in the gym, resistance training, two or three

cardio workouts per week, and then stay with that and adjust the intensity and do these various things that we're talking about so that I wake up in the morning feeling pretty fresh, so that I can focus when I work, so that I'm not dragging, and that I can carry my luggage through the airport like I had to do the other day without feeling like my body's going to explode in pain or something like that.
