Saved by Fernando del Campo
Dr. Doug McGuff, the author of Body by Science (a book I highly recommend), suggests doing resistance training only once every seven to ten days. His research shows that this offers greater benefits than more frequent exercise,
I’ve not seen the need for long anaerobic training sessions in endurance athletes. It’s relatively easy to stimulate the anaerobic system to obtain benefits and, unlike aerobic training, shorter bouts of anaerobic workouts are very effective. So, the second principle of anaerobic training is to keep it short. This relates to both the total time of

See moreIt seems clear, therefore, that high-intensity training offers several positive benefits to athletes, including: • Improved anaerobic and aerobic energy supplying systems, allowing for greater endurance, strength, speed, and power • Faster VO2 kinetics, allowing the blood to carry more oxygen to the muscles • Increased tolerance to high-intensity e

In the context of body redesign, there are two fundamental MEDs to keep in mind: To remove stored fat → do the least necessary to trigger a fat-loss cascade of specific hormones. To add muscle in small or large quantities → do the least necessary to trigger local
