This was great. Most of the other people teaching exercise on TH-cam display absolutely horrible form and ignorance of proper exercise performance. Everyone ought to keep a workout journal. It amazes me that so many people go to the gym and don't keep track of what they're doing.
@@rhebabaldwin7101 it's sad. Unfortunately, most people will just assume whoever is the biggest or most ripped must know the most about how to train, and end up following absolutely horrible advice. It's a shame more people don't follow Doug, he's one of the very few people on TH-cam teaching people how to do this correctly.
Thank you, Doug - that's great advice. Keeping track of the days after the workout sounds very valaubale for me as i feel exhausted for a few days quite often...
Fantastic advice Doug. Hope you're keeping well. I'll be starting this approach very soon! I notice that I feel the overtraining symptoms you describe but not sure how much of that is lack of sleep, diet, stress related as well. Will have to pay closer attention with a journal and try to tighten up my "life hygiene". Would love to have you back on the show at some point to discuss this video in more detail. Truly some of the best health and fitness advice on the web.
Thanks. Greatly appreciate your time giving these useful tips. Personally I started with a journal, but used Covid-19 as an excuse to stop recording in it when the gym re-opened.
Recovery is the key. A decent portion of the training public stay in the "recovery" portion of the training process for days, weeks, months and sometimes years. They hardly ever progress into the adaption phase , thus they stay confused about their training and disappointed in their results. A large percentage of these people get frustrated and stop training altogether. It's unfortunate.
I would do the 3rd one if I could, but I cannot afford to buy video equipment. My long term goals are as follows: stay as close as I can to a 1RM of 405 in the squat, BW+20 in the chin-up and BW + 45 in the dip.(My BW is ~179 -- 183 lbs.) Finally, I always feel much better after a workout with no (m) -- the symbol which I use to designate a missed rep -- in the workout log for the day. Thanks for this video.
I find that I need 7-10 days recovery between workout days, and I'm especially hungry for protein for several days. The best thing I did for myself was drop high intensity interval training; I feel like I'm going against public sentiment , but it just felt like nothing more than a second set of leg workouts.
Hey Doug - Just wanted to see if you had time to connect. I am a Super Slow trainer in Bellevue Washington (Working for Ann-Marie). Would love to ask you a few questions if possible! Thanks Will
Thanks! Can you do a video for onboarding a new person who’s never done HIT before? I’ve heard you say doing 2-3 days a week for a few weeks and then tapering down. How do those workouts differ? Thanks!
Very good advice Doug. Years ago I did that but after 30-40 years a lot has changed. I have a question. What's your workout frequency look like? I'm already now doing 1 set very slow cadence to almost failure. And also full body or split? Thank you for any device you may have.
Get off youtube? Noooooooo! I've learned a lot from you, AthleanX, Alan Thrall, etc. I scribble out my workout in a little note pad to keep track and I have taken video. The increased speed to catch flaws is a good tip, thanks. I started using my super slow workout as a way to test if I have improved from doing 3x5s or other methods.
I've used the super slow big five every since I read Body by Sience. At 66 years old, I've always felt like dirt for four to five days after workout and thought I was supposed to feel that way. Should I split the big five up into shorter workouts? I'm assuming I should still take each exrsize to failure. Correct?
You could also optimize sleep and diet. Sounds a bit unlikely that big5 once a week would be too much. Or maybe you do too deep of an inroad at the end of each set.
You shouldn't really need to split the big 5 up its when you start have to add exercises like isolating work to it you may have to do an upper lower 3 days a week or a 1 on 1 off. Every other day. 1 hard set to failure 5 sets in total is not alot so id say stick to it for a while. :)
This was great.

LOL. do you know how many people follow , bigscboy for example, as opposed to dr. mcguff? its laughable.

Wow - that was so useful. Many thanks! With greetings from Cape Town...
Great advice 🎉
Great advice. Will apply and see how it out. Thanks Doug 🙏🏻

I keep a journal but never thought to film my workouts--great idea!
Very good. Thank you

Look up "Paleo diet and strength training biochemistry" on YT, from this same man. Everything you said is talked about there.
Good Advice
If I go out from TH-cam how can I watch your advices? 🙂
Lol
AMEN!

Man said Athlean x 😂
How do you train yourself to push pass those last reps to failure?
