Transcript excerpt

You wanna get disgustingly athletic, you need to stop training for just one thing. You don't need to live in the gym either. You need to train the physical qualities that actually transfer to being athletic. Because being strong best getting gas running a mile isn't athletic. And being able to run forever better having zero strength or power isn't either. So if I had a busy schedule and wanted the biggest return on my training, these are the three things I'd prioritize. Number one, build relative strength. You don't need six lifting days. Give me three quality full body sessions that best around squatting, engine, pushing, pulling, and carrying. Focus on getting stronger relative to your body weight with movements like weighted pull ups, split squats, RDLs, and heavy carries. The goal isn't just adding muscle, it's producing more force with carrying unnecessary Number two, build rank aerobic engine. You need two or three easy aerobic exposures every week.
