I Only Trained MULTIPLE MICRO WORKOUTS For a Week

Doing multiple small workouts instead of one big workout. Is it more effective? What are the downsides? In this video I discover the forgotten secret of doing multiple small workouts a day.

Were you thinking about some kind of "summary" video? I mean you have tons of "experiments", would be great to know what you think about some of them after some time. Maybe kind of tier list video (people love tier lists), which experiments you think are the best to follow and which you wouldnt recommend at all?

[@Error-33]

Thats a really good idea ngl

This makes me think back to one of my biggest growth eras; when I was doing a 45-minute power building split in the early mornings and then had gymnastics practice in the evenings. I gained about 20lbs, increased my primary lifts by at least 20% and all of this as an intermediate lifter at age 24 and studying engineering at college.

[@jmgonzales7701]

im looking into this, because i workout 5x a week full body while i also do muay Thai in the week ends, what i do is to not fatigue is despite doing 5 full body workouts i have separate days which i focus hardsets per muscle group. It is also why I'm planning to try this micro workout because i barely have any free time.

[@satellitesabs3277]

I have chronic health issues and have been having great success with micro workouts over the past year! Makes dealing with fatigue swings so much easier for me without losing muscle 💪🏼

[@L0rd_Br0tat0]

Micro workouts are super useful for certain use cases. The 3 ways I use them is either as a way to fit in some degree of activity when I'm too busy or tired for traditional sessions, as a supplement for specialization volume on top of my main workouts, or as a way to maintain strength and mass when I want to focus on other aspects of my training like flexibility or martial arts.

[@CakeMuffin1]

Results makes sense. Smaller muscles like forearms and calves benefited most from short intense workouts bc they less fatigable and literally evolve to be used whole day. Bigger muscles of course didn't get enough time to be properly stimulated and start signaling to grow. Thanks for doing bro science for us!

[@88divinegrace]

You might benefit from watching some renaissance periodisation videos here on youtube. They have some info on micro workouts, but mostly a lot of general accurate information for muscle building. Your form, cadence and general training can improve a lot. Thank you for sharing.

[@SteveJonesOwnsDSP]

[@matthewkoplin4749]

I do 3 superset workouts spread out through the day for a total of 6 lifts and 4 sets each. Intensity is peaked and growth is good however draw back is insufficient warm ups

[@danmiddleton4581]

in my early years of working out I recall using a form of micro workouts. it was good for my tism, I couldn't focus on my homework for long intervals but a pump inbetween got my tasks done. i remember applying to all chores and tasks. It's good to see someone research into to the point I might bring it back again. Thank you @pigmie

I do 4-5 micro workouts in my garage gym. First, 12 minutes (0.5mi) on the treadmill, then 6 sets to failure of some lift. I notice that warming up with the treadmill lets me lift more.

[@sebrinadickerson3341]

I see this being practical for those stuck at sedentary jobs. As far as I can see, the workouts just need to be from 3-7 minutes to be effective. I think most people could justify taking breaks for a micro 3-7 minutes, throughout the day. This is attainable. It seems from your experience that rest days are still required, though, only confirming the effectiveness of the micros. Re: your before and afters, I saw much more definition in the after pics. Thanks.

[@winstonsearchill3457]

7:40 lmao I like to do small workouts randomly when I sit around a lot but in Summer I sometimes skip them because I don't want to get sweaty, can't imagine to work with those alone. If you train for skills or want to go heavy you also have to warm up every time again.

I often find breaking up my workouts into like 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon is preferable to a 1 hour workout in order to overcome the fatigue problem, where tiredness from earlier exercises affects the potency of later ones

[@kornisonkiseli3248]

I've started doing this and it makes exercising daily much more manageable. Do a shorter time in the gym for big muscles like legs and back and then do other muscles at home with dumbbells. Upped both my volume and intensity that way.

[@jmgonzales7701]

@@kornisonkiseli3248 yes its what i do now. I train 5x a week full body. I can only go to gym 3x so some days like arms and back focus i do it at home because i do weighted calisthenics and dumbell work

[@kornisonkiseli3248]

@@jmgonzales7701 Yeah, it's ideal imo. Can do almost everything with callisthenics and dumbbells. Quads are the only muscle that's tough to train at home. Can do split squats but I much prefer leg extensions and leg press.

I think it would be better to do maybe three 20min workouts in the day or three 30min workouts or maybe just depends on what muscle group how long you do it for but I would say 30 mins max

[@Be_a_Man628]

If anyone wants to try this micro workouts, please do it with intensity (3-5 reps), or else if you do 8+ reps then the volume will acomulate and destroy your body the next day. And about the grip.. When you use grips your forearm gets pumped with blood, which makes your tendons, in a nutshell, "Wake up".

I believe the @bioneer did something similar, where he had 3-4 workouts throughout the day, at 10-15 minutes per workout.

[@fastedaesthetics]

I have been using 2 or 3 micro workouts a day for years now, each one lasting no more than 15 to 20 minutes, using bodyweight calisthenic movements with high intensity works for me, more isn't always better.

[@a.r.j571]

growing some hairs , are we ? * excited to see a bun*

[@33rie_18]

For me, they aren’t really micro workouts, but for the same reasons of intensity and because my gym doesn’t have the belt for weighted pull ups, I do my weighted pull ups at home with a weighted vest I can’t bother to bring to the gym and have around with me the whole time. On my upper days or pull days before I commute to the gym I do my weighted pull ups, and I note that the small break between weighted pull ups and the rest of my workout, I have the strength to follow with heavy bench pressing in the 3-5 rep range, or follow with my bicep training (seated bicep curl, preacher, and then hammer curls) without losing much strength or being too fatigued. However my main concern is that I would think that I am setting myself up for injury because I am subjecting my body to really intense loads with a break, and then ramping it up again, but I have been warming up before the pull ups and then another smaller warm up when I’m at the gym again. So far I’ve been fairing well, but I want to see how things would go after a few more months of this.

[@3X9NLCF]

I was always a gym guy. Pure BB. However I gained the best aesthetic body by 25 min/ 6 times per week functional training plus minimum 6-10 km walk daily.

[@outmaster2348]

When I work out, I mostly do micro workouts just as a habit. The way I do it is I split up a full body calisthenics work and do a single set of each muscle group for each workout. Like if your doing obe punch man's workout you do 25 pushups, squats, situps. 4 times a day to reach 100 then do cardio as a sole workout

[@mr.x808]

Seems to me like your nervous system was going "wtf are u doing?!" and trying to defend itself. Might explain the larger (and perhaps temporary) strength/volume increases in your hands/forearms. I know by experience those are most affected when u burn out your cns. Sudden feelings of fatigue perhaps was your body trying to get as much rest as possible as quickly as possible, by shutting you down kinda, before u fucked it over once again ;) Just random guy trying to make sense out of these experiences you had. several workouts in a day is just a bad idea overall I think.

[@nickg9639]

this is kinda what ive done for past 10 years. (well sorta) i just do 1 hard set, than take a break for as long as i want. then do another hard set. ill take really long breaks but do 5 really hard sets spread throughotu the day its kept me lean my whole life without having to do cardio or diet

[@Prxjetej]

I do this too

[@KillaBitz]

If I've had a long day at work and i still wanted to work out I'll at least try and do a quick 15-20 minutes on the multi gym and a few dumbbell curls while i wait for my dinner to cook.

[@100koochy100]

I've been thinking about this and I am going to do multiple daily workouts for just arms, in addition to my normal workout so, my thinking is stimulating muscle hypertrophy 4 times per day following the less volume more frequency approach.

I found an easy way to do workouts during the day is to put some exercise or resistance bands on the door in the bathroom and use them every time I use the bathroom.

[@MrChazzels]

Something i would love to throw out there is you said early in the video you had random nice weather one day, I think you should look into Barometric Pressure changes to see if thats affecting your workouts. Any time a storm is coming in I feel burnt and sore no matter the season. There are theories that when there is a fall in air pressure cause our tissues (muscles/tendons) to swell or expand. SOOO maybe that could be something to experiment with.

Micro workouts are supposed to be a way to get your exercise in on a busy schedule. If you can bust out some pushups before a meeting or do a few pull ups before you drive over to the school to pick your kid up from soccer practice. It’s a way to work your workout into your day throughout the entire day.

[@sieteasiete681]

I have done micro workouts in the past mostly because i was to tired to do real ones. But then I only did big multiple joint exercises, a few sets but hard. I don't see the point doing several smaller for the more or less same muscle groups over a day. Furthermore, don't you depress the protein synthesis over and over then? Not letting it shoot? Better to run one muscle group, with one exercise, and rest. Lateral raises and one arm curls would not be my micro workout, go full quick and leave it with that. For me that was mostly minimalistic bodyweight exercises, like, do what you can do. Or if you have a bench or a rack do that. But that's my idea of micro workouts.

[@schnills]

Some years back I had a pull up bar in my room door and started doing just as much as it’s not exhausting like 5-10 times a day on my way in and out. It took me 2-3 weeks to get from 3 easy to 10 easy and 7 max to 15 max. In the prior 3 month of typical gym workout 3x/week I did not nearly get that progress.

[@schnills]

By that avoiding the sweat. That was one of the points.

[@trollmcclure1884]

Micro workoutz are all I do. Under one minute is ideal. I see a bar and boom - 4 perfect pull-ups today. It could be 8 and 8 push-ups to keep the symmetry but it has to be a joy not a work. It could be zero to 10 sets of anything a day. Here and there or more at once. Or a day off. I go by feel. It helps to lower blood sugar after a meal. Or to get hungry and anabolic before some protein meal. The muscles absorb food better. No workouts at all is like asking for insulin resistance.

[@cameroncrockatt4026]

I’ve tried adding a micro workout first thing in the morning in addition to my regular works and I think that I got stronger but after awhile fatigue set in. It seems there is only so much that we can do before we need time to recover and adding in more volume stimulated more and required more rest.
