Of ALL the variables you can use in your training program, INTENSITY is (in our opinion) the most important. 💪
.
Why? Because using HIGH-intensity means you can keep the amount of training you do LOW. How so? 🤔
.
There are three main training variables you can use to gain. INTENSITY is how close to your max abilities you train. VOLUME is the amount of work you do. And FREQUENCY is how often you train. Every program has a mixture of all three, but each program will usually emphasize one or two.
.
The thing about Volume and Frequency is that when you emphasize either of those, they take more TIME. High volume programs (think doing 10 sets of your main exercise) can take a long time to perform since the amount of work you need to do is so high. And high frequency programs (think 6 days a week of training) take a lot of time since you’ll need to go the gym often.
.
But high INTENSITY programs don’t take as long. You don’t need a lot of high intensity work to signal your body to adapt and start making gains. The volume and frequency can be low if your intensity is high. That lets you save time as you board the Gain Train!
.
You can see an example of this in our video with our trainee, Japheth! He gained the ability to perform a Nordic Leg Curl eccentric with just ONE training session per week. The key? Using high intensity so that he doesn’t need a lot of volume or frequency to gain! That time he saves can then go towards other things he has/wants to do in life! 👍🏾👏🏾
.
Do you want to try saving time and gaining with a high intensity approach too?
