Without doubt the BEST and most educational video on any topic regarding health and fitness (not just program design)! Literally learnt more in this video than my previous two years of studying. Thank you sir! 🙏🏼
Great video! Distilled down a topic that often people make overly complicated. One thing I'll say with beginners though-- adherance is the biggest issue at the start. You can have a "perfect" program that they don't adhere to. I've found for the first month or two that it's best to start very simple, very light-- something that's so easy there's no excuse not to do it. Then once the habit is built you can go crazy with programming. I did this for myself after a 3 year hiatus from working out. Kept trying to get back into it but just couldn't adhere. Then I started very simple for the first 2 months, and now am on a "real" program. It also helped that I was keeping myself accountable to others.
God bless Dr. Andy Galpin. I have a masters in Kinesiology from Michigan and I think I learn more from these videos than I did in school. Incredibly thankful. Wish my tuition went to his Patreon.
Can you do a video dedicated to DOMS, muscle and nervous system recovery, effect of combining different training modalities on fatigue, and also the cellular physiology of these phenomena? How does one objectively know when they are recovered enough to continually make progress and not actually be hurting themselves? Can we actually improve recovery time or are we constrained by our biology? Is heart rate variability (HRV) a viable tool or is it a gimmick? Would appreciate the 55 min phys on this one. Thanks for your great content!
It is clear but not so obvious with many sports; if I try a basket ball player or a dart player what 's the point to get 10% bench press more. Myself, I start from the champions of the sport, what is needed for that specific sport and I decline the program. You explained well the Matveiv theory and what could be good is what you did not say.
Great info. Would like to know more abt offseason, the high vol training you speak about. How would the intensity like? Constant? Also may I know do you focus on both sports skills and high volume gym training during offseason?
There's one question I haven't found an answer for in any of your videos. How does an old school hip hop fan with your name not use the moniker "Dr.G"?
Great video! Very helpful. But how would one go about creating defenders for a big goal that requires losing body fat? For example “lose 1 inch off my waist”. I can’t think of how to make a defender for this.... thanks!
What if you want to maintain fitness as optimally as possible across time, and not peak (like a soldier or any non-competitive fitness enthusiast) would it then not make sense to have constant variation without a macro and meso cycle and jus focus on micro cycles??
This definition of periodization is incorrect. The word "period" is in the word, so periodization is based on training cycles that repeat. You're just talking about program design.
is there anyone who also need 55 min video on this topic. bdw thanks for the video doc!!
I'd need a 55 day video on this topic. Please, more on this subject!! And thank you so much for all the great info.
yes please
It would be awesome.
I agree. Loved how he presented it and really wanted to dig in more
Yezziirrr. We need this Doc!

How are you NOT charging anything for this super valuable information is beyond me!!!
Thank you!
I'm IN LOVE with this video.
Hey Andy thank you so much for your time, knowledge, and expert teaching skills. You're greatly appreciated!
Incredible value. Thank you Dr Galpin
cant wait for the more in depth version of this periodization video
Absolutely fantastic intro for me to program design. I am focused on my own programming at the moment and delighted to have found your quality work!
Thanks for putting these videos out to the public, they're incredibly helpful!
I wish I had this kind of education during my university years.
SQUAAAAD 🤓
Thank you, dr G for this informational video! 🙌
Andy you will make a great coach my friend, keep learning and helping
He already is
Thank You Dr. G
Thanks so much for this Andy. This is going to be fantastic help for my sports conditioning students.
These are amazing videos!
I’m learning so much, thank you!
Very helpful presentation Andy!

This was fantastic! Still waiting on that taper video.
I love these videos, thanks!
Thanks Andy

How the fuck are these videos not getting more views?
I can't find the video you mentioned at 0:55? any help?
me neither also. May any people help?
There's one question I haven't found an answer for in any of your videos.
How does an old school hip hop fan with your name not use the moniker "Dr.G"?
One love one nation🙌🏼🙌🏼💫👌🏼
This is goooold!

A defender is WHAT IS KEEPING YOU FROM YOUR GOAL. What's keeping you from losing that 1 inch?
Do you have a program for knee replacement?
What if you want to maintain fitness as optimally as possible across time, and not peak (like a soldier or any non-competitive fitness enthusiast) would it then not make sense to have constant variation without a macro and meso cycle and jus focus on micro cycles??
"Move your mass..." I LOVE IT!
17:45 LOL
Laughed so hard you have no idea
Why would you not cover the better way to progress in this video?
🔥🔥
🙏🏻
Yes come on needed this
👍🏻
Defenders? Limitations?
So when volume goes down, performance goes up. It means volumes is bad then I guess.
Got em.
