391 - 3 Keys To Optimize Muscle, Strength & Body Composition

391 - 3 Keys To Optimize Muscle, Strength & Body Composition

Author: Jonathan & Blakley Fletcher October 28, 2024 Duration: 8:37

Even if you're not trying to jacked or huge, you still want to optimize your valuable time spent training.

The three main factors you have under your control are:

1: Training Frequency - How often you hit each muscle group.


2: Training Volume - How many sets and reps you do each week


3: Training Intensity - How hard you push, and how close to failure each set is


Because of these three factors, group classes like CrossFit, Orange Theory, F45, HIIT, and Bootcamps often miss the mark with their more random nature.


In this episode we'll explain frequency, volume, and intensity, along with what the research says.
