You do five reps of a squat in three minutes. So however long it takes you to do those and then you rest the rest of the time for the three minutes. Okay. So maybe it takes you 30 seconds to do your five squats and then you have two minutes and 30 seconds to recover. Oh, okay. And you do that five times. So that's five by five.

So if a man and a woman both do that, and we look over time, the relative strength gain, so that means relative to sex and body weight, man will acquire better strength gains than a woman. But if we were to change that recovery for the woman to go five sets on five by five on the two minute, so she does it in 30 seconds and has a minute 30 recovery,

Then over a course of time, she'll have the same outcomes because her body is like, I don't need as much rest. So it starts to kind of downturn with so much rest. So you can put more training stress on and less time as a woman.

So this is one of the things that we're starting to really discover in the strength training research because it's relatively new. We're like, okay, we know that there's these sex differences in the muscle fiber types where women have more of these, you know, endurance type fibers, men have more of the fast twitch glycolytic fibers.

So if we really want to maximize the outcome of our strength training, we need to work to women's physiology where they don't need as much rest to get the same kind of stress and outcome.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Right. So this comes back to the, you know, the fasting. And I get really frustrated when more men will drop alcohol, they'll drop sugar, and then all of a sudden their abs are ripped, right? Yes. They're like, whew. belly fat gone. Yes. But for women, we tend to store belly fat. Correct. And if I'm not drinking, I want results. I know, but it doesn't necessarily happen. No, it doesn't, Dr. Sims.
