Show Notes

You have three main variables to play with after creating your training split and selecting your favored exercises. Of course, you cannot max out all three, there must be a balance, but do you even know what they are? 

 

In this 3rd episode of Andy's new training series, he talks about the three key variables you must balance: volume, intensity, and frequency. Your job is to create a plan, stick with it, monitor progress and results, and then adjust ONE thing at a time to see if you can make better progress. 

 

Tune in to the episode to learn more about the three key areas and how you can balance them out properly to achieve your goals.  

“You just need to make a plan. Decide what it is that you're gonna do and then run it. And then watch what happens. Track the results. Standardize everything else, your food, your water, your rest, your sleep, your intensity.”

– Andy Naylor 

 

In This Episode:

-Volume - Weight x Reps x  Sets: The volume of the work you're doing needs to go up over time. If not, you have a problem!

-Intensity - How HARD do you train? Most people think they have this figured out when in fact, it's the one thing most people are worst at

-Frequency - How often do you train a muscle or body part? 

-These three variables do not work in isolation - How do you balance the variables so you can achieve your goals?
