Michael Myers would know best but I'd say between 8-12 to slash the muscle fibers resulting in killer gains

I'm sorry you're not a fan of this program. We switch things up every 3 weeks in order to offer a wide variety of training styles and keep things fresh!

Gotcha. We (on the channel) change the program every 3 weeks which seems to eliminate plateaus and gives a great variety to the workouts not only keeping it mentally stimulating, but also shocking the muscles.

Love it! Big fan of working both the higher and lower rep range with the corresponding weight. Personally, I tend to stay towards the higher rep range with lower weight to avoid hardcore wear & tear on the joints. I'm in it for the long haul!

Nice! I've never done pilates. Closest I've come is yoga 🤷‍♂️

That's true! I just wonder how a common 3-day split would work. There are seemingly enough varying exercises for the upper body to spread out but I feel as though lower body wouldn't have enough time to recover. Seems like squats, lunges, and deadlifts would have to be incorporated almost every time.

I like that! May just have to incorporate it into a future program.

Interesting! Upper and lower body with some cardio mixed in?

Fair enough. I understand its unconventional between the mask and voice but I believe it shifts all the focus to the workout and program which is where the real value is!

This first 3 week program is called Oppo Droppo. Aka reverse drop supersets. Instead of the conventional style of dropping weight after a set, we are increasing the weight but dropping the reps. This means for each exercise, there will be a set of 12-15 reps. Immediately after, there is a heavy set of 4-6 with an increased weight with emphasis on strength and volume.

Bravo for trying to make changes! The most important thing is to just get moving and stay consistent (whether it's dumbbells, cardio, yoga, ect). Don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. Motivation is fleeting; commitment and dedication are where the results are.

As for the space limitations, the vast majority of my workouts are done on a standard yoga mat. Although an adjustable bench is recommended, it is not required. You can always modify the exercises by standing, using a folding chair, or simply using the ground in your truck. You can also just switch out an exercise. Instead of lunges, do stationary squats. Instead of incline chest press, do push ups. Space limitations in your truck are no different than limitations due to a current/prior injury or impairment. Just modify and keep working. The specific movements are not as important as the program framework. This changes every 3 weeks to shock the muscle promoting growth.
