I would say what we talked about yesterday, the one set to failure.
Who does it?
Who does one set to failure, two full body workouts a week, one set to failure?
For each body part.
Yeah, on like six to eight exercises, like six to ten exercises per day.
You get the workout done in, you know, 45 minutes.
So you're training an hour and a half a week and you probably could get β
80% of your gains than you could through training for three times that much time.
It's very time efficient, it's just no one ever does it.
I don't know anyone who does one set.
Everyone does multiple sets, but it's a very efficient way to train.
it's a very fun way to train because you come in with a goal.
You're like, I need to try to beat my record.
Well, the only thing I would say is shuffle the lifts around, shuffle the order around and shuffle the variations around.
Because as we've mentioned, you can't just keep gaining strength for years on end.
It doesn't work that way.
We talked about this yesterday.
It gets to a point where you're, I got to a point where I suck at squats, but I was doing 225 for 30.
I was doing my best stiff leg deadlift.
