Total body strength training sessions will give you the best bang for your buck.
Total body strength training sessions will give you the best bang for your buck.
- Total body strength sessions can be performed up to 3x a week and can take as little as 30 minutes. It's simple to program once you think about movements instead of muscle groups. All you really need is an upper body push and pull, and a lower body hinge and squat movement. Finally, just add an ab or carry into your workout and your day is done.
- Chose compound movement that involve more muscle groups. An example of this would be; deadlift paired with a press, followed by a lunge paired with pull-ups, then finish up with some lying leg raises paired with a farmer walk. You can vary the sets, reps, load, and rest periods.
- The benefits of this type of training are huge! First and foremost, you'll spend less time in the gym! Use this extra time to go for a walk, pick up a new hobby, or be with your family. Secondly, this style of training is WAY more athletic and balanced. You teach your body to work together as it should, as opposed to chest on Monday for 50 sets, back on Tuesday for 35 sets, and shoulder surgery on Wed because you've created a huge imbalance.
Fire it up! Anything worth doing is worth doing right, so Don't suck! Good talk!
