    To run as easily as this, you need to be able to breathe only through your nose. I f you have physical problems doing this, then just see if you can do it for short periods during the run .

  • @barryward6632
    @barryward66325 ай бұрын

    What do you think your cadence is for this easy enjoyable run? - looks like around 165 BPM to me. This is what I seem to fall into when I want to run very easily , smelling the roses along the way. I can run at higher cadences - but I start to feel more "stressed" more "deliberate" - this slowish cadence feels nice and easy for me, could do it almost "forever" - but of course it is very slow.

    Just came across your channel...great stuff here! What's your take on how many exercises per movement group? If i see Steve Maxwell's example routines...there is quite often 2, sometimes even 3 pulling or pushing exercises in a training. What's your experience with this? Just two months in with this high intensity style of training and doing just one exercise and set of a movement pillar. That hurts most of the time enough in this stage is my experience. Can't imagine doing more exercises for the same motion 😄

  • @johnmetcalfecoaching
    @johnmetcalfecoaching Жыл бұрын

    Often with strength training 'less is more.' Personally, I am currently performing one set of one exercise for each of the pillars.

    I’ve been doing a HIT sort of program (inspired by John Heart, a disciple of Mike Mentzer) for general strength and fitness. I’ve seen gains in strength and even mass (which I’m not going out of my way to increase). I use drop sets as well, just to make sure I’m tapping the muscle out. So far, so good.
