For your compound exercises, ask yourself why do sets of 10? If the last reps near failure matter most, wouldn’t it make more sense to skip the first 7 reps and only do reps that “matter most” Good news it is as simple as adding load and starting the set near failure. Better news, “near failure” isn’t even necessary. You’re using junk volume that leads to a bunch of un needed fatigue which has led at lot of y’all to believe doing more than 2 sets are “diminishing returns” The bottom line, people are pushing reps near failure to recruit the high threshold motor units and your bigger stronger muscle fibers. What they don’t tell you is you can recruit those same fibers simply using high effort. A max vertical jump for example, and sprinting will both recruit those magical muscle fibers. But they are too fast for hypertrophy. You want the speeds to slow down without sacrificing your effort. So you add load…simply apply high effort to moderate to heavy loads and you end up accumulating high quality reps that lead to hypertrophy without all the wasted energy

Candy corn is good The pumpkins are even better Not even a debate

Previously I’ve been an advocate for walking definitely being a form of cardio I’d like to make an amendment and point of clarification It’s a form of cardio and it absolutely shouldn’t be the only form of cardio you do Seems like most people I start working with, one of the biggest changes we make is we use a WIDE variety of cardiovascular training. Implements and intensity need to be varied for everyone
