One of the biggest mistakes you can make in your training is not following a training program. Today, we’re discussing why this is the case and how to find the right workout routine for you!

There are many factors you might consider when picking a training program. We run through the following and give you our opinion on how much they actually matter:

Your age.
Your sex.
How strong you are.
Your training goals.
Your experience level.
How you train today.
Will you enjoy the new program?
How many days can you train weekly, and for how long each time?

We finish the episode by answering two listener questions:

Is "greasing the groove" productive, or does it count as junk volume?
As an experienced novice, how should I periodize for strength?

Also, check out the free fitness advent calendar in our workout tracker app StrengthLog! It’s live now and gives you a new workout every day up until Christmas Day.

You Should Do More Than One Type of Bicep Curl 25:50

4 วันที่แล้ว25:50

25:50

Which type of bicep curl is best if you want to grow your biceps ? A new, impressive bicep study adds to the evidence that just doing regular curls might not be optimal, comparing bicep growth between two exercises where one was performed with a shortened bicep position and one with a lengthened bicep position. After discussing optimizing your bicep growth, we move on to two listener questions. See the timestamps below! Timestamps: 03:20 - Main subject 15:20 - Question 1: If I want to increase my strength in squats, do you recommend Squat Samba or RSR in your app? 21:10 - Question 2: Do I have to drink my creatine supplement , or can I mix it into food? *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Why Cycle between Bulking and Cutting? 35:49

11 วันที่แล้ว35:49

35:49

If you want to build more muscle mass, is it a good strategy to bulk up first before cutting down to the same weight again, hopefully with more quality mass on your body than you started out with? Bodybuilders do this all the time, but do you really need to if you don’t plan to compete? Another strategy is to stay at the same weight, slowly losing fat while adding muscle mass. That’s what we’re discussing today. Using a new case study in which beginners did a 24-week bulk and cut cycle, we examine their results and talk about ways they could have been improved, and the practical takeaways for you, the listener. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Does Slow Lifting Boost Muscle Growth? 33:02

If you lower the weights slowly when training, will that boost your muscle growth and strength gains? In today’s episode, we’re discussing a new meta-analysis (still in preprint) that pooled the results from eight studies on this topic, to see if an intentionally slow eccentric tempo when strength training produces better results. The results gave us a lot to debate, so let’s dive in! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button!

Will Late-Night Carbs Make You Fat? 36:25

If you eat carbs before bedtime, you’ll become fat. At least, that’s what people have been claiming for decades—but is it true or just another fitness myth? Today, we have a new study looking into whether carbohydrates eaten in the evening are more prone to becoming body fat, and whether it matters if the carbs are of the fast (tasty) or slow (boring) kind. We round off the episode with a listener question about 1RM-based training programs in the StrengthLog Workout Tracker App . Timestamps: 03:15 - Main subject: Will late-night carbs make you fat? 22:00 - Listener question: I’m about to finish my first cycle of a 1RM-based training program that’s given me great results. Should I run another cycle, and if so, how should I adjust my 1RMs? *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button!

How can you measure progress without testing your 1RMs? How do you best deal with plateaus in your training? And what do we think about low-volume, high-intensity training for muscle hypertrophy? The first mailbag of the year is here, and it’s a good one! Read the timestamps below for every listener question we answered. Timestamps: 01:45 - What’s your best tip to mentally handle periods without progress (in both strength and physique) for intermediate lifters? 08:00 - What are the most overlooked features in the StrengthLog app that you would like more people to know about? 14:10 - My current bench press PR is 135kg, but last week I had a great workout and did 10x10 with 100 kg in under 45 minutes. How much do you think I can bench press now if I shoot for a new PR? 19:45 - How would your training be different if you got paid for being in the gym? 23:40 - How can I measure progress without testing my one rep max ? 27:15 - Is cuing straight wrists during the bench press misunderstood, over-, or underrated?

What are the major things to focus on when it comes to exercise frequency, volume, intensity, recovery, and diet that you should think of, and what are the things that people focus on that only have a small effect in relation to the effort? 41:10 - If you could remove one rule or thing from powerlifting, what would it be? I personally would remove the "press" signal. Or deadlifts . 47:10 - Thoughts on low-volume, high-intensity training for muscle hypertrophy? *** Do you like what you hear so far?

How important are carbohydrates for your strength training results? And if you’re planning for a long, grueling workout—should you even bring carbs with you to the gym, to eat or drink during the workout? That’s the main subject for today, aided by a new, randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial on intra-training carbohydrate ingestion in CrossFit-trained adults. In the second half of the episode, we move on to more personal matters: How did Daniel’s bench press competition go?

That’s the topic for today, and we talk about how your body responds to training differently depending on how much and for how long you’ve trained, how your approach to your workouts will have to change during the journey, and why sleep, diet, and other recovery tools become increasingly important the more advanced you become.

Is it a myth that you lose weight from exercise ? A huge new study looked into how much weight you lose for every 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (cardio) you do per week—and the results are disappointing, to say the least. This fits the evidence we already have, so why do people continue recommending exercise for weight loss ? Well, exercise is kind of great for everything else—and an obvious part of a healthy lifestyle. Today, we’ll break down how much fat you can expect to lose if you start exercising more, and explain why our bodies quickly tend to adapt to our new routines, making dietary changes absolutely necessary for weight loss. *** Do you like what you hear so far?
