One of the biggest mistakes you can make in your training is not following a training program. Today, we’re discussing why this is the case and how to find the right workout routine for you!
There are many factors you might consider when picking a training program. We run through the following and give you our opinion on how much they actually matter:
- Your age.
- Your sex.
- How strong you are.
- Your training goals.
- Your experience level.
- How you train today.
- Will you enjoy the new program?
- How many days can you train weekly, and for how long each time?
We finish the episode by answering two listener questions:
- Is “greasing the groove” productive, or does it count as junk volume?
- As an experienced novice, how should I periodize for strength?
