This is extremely important for in-season athletes

I'm enjoying "less is more" training. 1) Leg day 2x per week is three sets of quad, three sets of hip hinge for the posterior chain, and 3-4 sets of heavy sled which has no eccentric. 2) Upper 2x per week is 3 sets of a push, 3 sets of a pull, and then 4 isolation exercises where I only do one set of each to failure. **I was really skeptical since I've always been a high volume and intensity guy. But I'm responding surprisingly well to these shorter workouts.

I stopped training for a few years due to injury, but decided to do this routine just off of instinct for a couple months now and have found it works as well. Little progress does add up over time and it's better than just quitting.

After a 2 year absence from lifting weights due to an injury and a further 8 months of rehabilitation I am now back to stimulating my muscle. The biggest shock was, how quickly muscle atrophied. Unlike before the injury I now use a combination of Isometrics and very slow 1rep movement, something I did when in rehab. What has blown my mind is the muscular response. Suffice to say I will not be returning to dynamic weight lifting. i.e. 3 sets of 12 as an example. The difference between rehab and now is INTENSITY, using the aforementioned method. Another side benefit is the time factor, no longer hours but MINUTES and no need to visit the gym, another mind bending shocker. The above method allows me to train daily, whilst exercising the same muscles, which shockingly is getting me progress. I guess the micro bursts of intensity isn't over loading my recovery capacity, thus I am able to train and gain. Sleep is so underrated. Good luck in your quest for health. Thank you for uploading and sharing.

@@jadoonharis It's different as from the 1st December 2023 than before. Before it was mostly this kind of approach... Pull up, as one example. 5 seconds up. 5 seconds hold at the top Then 20 seconds, if not longer when lowering for completion. I then hold for another 5 seconds fully stretched out, before I dismount. Dips and Squats performed in a similar manner. .... Currently doing traditional dynamic training but it's brief.. Example.... Pull up 1 set Dips 1 set Trap bar 1 set Chest press 1set Then squat or leg press. Static bike until I am totally whacked . Done daily in under 10 mins. Not looking at bulking up, maintaining what I have and if it adds a little then so be it. Still like to perform the pre 1st December as it adds variety. 😀👍
