Love the morning workout. The feeling of accomplishment powers my day. I think I need a 4 am workout edge version of that book.

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Haha, indeed nothing compares to a morning workout. Why so early?

Hey Cesar, thanks brother 💪🏼

[@roshandadlani2353]

Great content, is this the next iteration to the exercise plan you shared in the dadbod demolition project. Any chance you could link this back to the routine?

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hey R, these are the basic principles you want to keep in mind if you want to design your own plan based on what is more practical for you. I could make a video on how to put all this into practice through different splits so you can pick what works for you. Would that work?

Great video and congrats on your engagement! If dividing the volume up over 6 days a week is it still ok to do cardiosthenics and just do easy zone 2 between each set or would that be too fatiguing to do daily? Also, when doing 6x a week are we still taking every set everyday to technical failure? Would that interfere with recovery?

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hey Greg, a proper real answer would depend on all kinds of different factors... So, if you don't mind answering, let's start with some basics and I'll see what tips I can give you... 1) How old are you? 2) Average sleep per night? 3) Average stress levels (from 1-10) 4) Training experience (little overview of how long you've been training what have you been doing)

[@gregbattaglia4887]

@@BodyweightMuscle Thanks man, I’m 38, I sleep 6-7 hours (varies because I have a newborn), stress levels are on the higher side due to working a lot and a stressful job plus having a child, I’ve been training since my teens but overtrained a lot in my 20’s and had to stop training for a while because I burnt out badly due to bad form and constantly pushing too hard. I’m older and wiser now and want to be fit for life the sustainable way as you promote so I can be healthy and fit for my family. Thanks man!

[@BodyweightMuscle]

@@gregbattaglia4887 Hey Greg, thanks for your detailed response! Based on what you told me, I'll give you two approaches that you can pick from, depending on what you want to achieve. A) I would recommend splitting your training into 3 strength workouts and 2 zone two cardio sessions if you want to maintain a good cardiovascular condition but make faster progress with strength, and overall feel better. If you want to stay active on your rest days, you can focus on big walks. B) I would recommend splitting your training into 2 strength workouts and 3-4 zone 2 cardio sessions if you want to focus more on cardiovascular conditioning and maintain a good strength level (making slower progress over time) Anything more than that will be counterproductive for your body. I think you'll be surprised with how much progress you can make with plan A). It's the plan I'd start you with if you want to optimize your overall health. More is not always better, and sometimes you can be surprised of what is possible with less but smarter work :) 💪🏼 P.S. Cardiosthenics is a great way to train if your recovery, sleep, stress and all that are at optimum levels, but not that ideal for busy tired dads.

@@BodyweightMuscleThank you, Anthony! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond man. Love your channel!

[@gregbattaglia4887]

I hate to ask you a million questions but I just have one more question if you don’t mind. What are your thoughts on daily submaximal training? I know you’re a big fan of Dan John and he created Easy Strength which is essentially high frequency sub max training. It really appeals to me because it allows the creation of a daily habit. Kboges is also a big proponent of this method and does calisthenics daily and just avoids going to failure so he can return the next day and train again. I find it a really appealing method and was wondering what your thoughts are on that. Thanks man!
