In this video I discuss a few of the most important things I’ve learned about exercise since I started doing high intensity training in late 1993 after learning about it from Mike Mentzer’s Heavy Duty column in Iron Man magazine. Topics include the relative effects of genetics versus training methods on long-term muscular strength and size gains and implications for selecting exercise methods, the need to minimize variation in exercise programming and prioritize mastering the basics, that although the principles of exercise are universal their application must be individualized for best results, and more.
I will be doing an entire series of videos on this, uploading a new video every week in my private discussion forum and online training group. If you have questions about anything in this video, click here to join The HIT List and I will gladly answer them there.
