And I can shy off a little bit, back off a little bit off of the pull that you were doing because I realized that you just did certain exercises the day before. So I would, if I trained you on, and this gets a little nuanced, but if I trained you on Friday and a pull workout, remember I have different planes of motion I can move in.

So if you were doing vertical pulling stuff, like a pull up or a pull down, I could stress more horizontal pulling exercises like a seated row or a bent over row, right? So I could shift the focus a little bit.

Yeah, I definitely, I mean, I definitely don't advocate seven days a week of full training.

So in that, in that scenario, I'd have you do your conditioning work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And if you were gonna, if you had, you know, your goals were more aligned with fat loss and overall conditioning and you feel like you're not as healthy as you could be there, I would probably take advantage of that Saturday to do that.

But if your priority was the training side of it, getting stronger, building more muscle, then I would take advantage of that Saturday as my flex day to do training.

It could be, but if your priority, again, is to build muscle, then prioritize muscle building. Put that first. Do your cardio conditioning work at the end of that workout. Something might suffer, and the thing that usually comes second is what suffers.

So set count, you know, if you can get in, and again, this is a little bit determined by whether you're going to train on that Saturday. So if you're going to come back and train total body on Saturday, then I know I have an opportunity to maybe do a bench again on Saturday or a variation bench, an incline bench. So I don't have to get all of my chest volume in in that first day.

But typically you're looking for around anywhere between nine and 16 sets or so for that muscle group across the week. So if you were going to do, let's say, the one workout for chest and you're doing, say, three sets per exercise, you're in that range of around three exercises. For chest. Now you don't have to have that.

The volume doesn't need to be as high for triceps because you're obviously training your triceps while you're doing bench press. So you could put one direct tricep exercise in. If it was me, I would put something, my favorite exercise for triceps is the lion tricep extension where I lay on my back on the bench and I do the, some people call them

I think this is one of the most fascinating areas of training that has yet to be uncovered. I actually discussed this with Andrew Huberman at one point. It's very interesting. So from person to person, we know that there are different recovery rates between the people. From person to person, we know that there are different recovery rates between muscles.
