Thoughts on Exercise Effectiveness, Safety, and Efficiency

On September 2, 2020, I did a live video sharing some thoughts on why it isn’t enough for an exercise program to be effective, but that is must also be safe, efficient, and practical. I also discuss the problems with common rationalizations for following many popular but relatively poor strength training methods (for example, “X is working for me” or “So-and-so got good results doing Y”).

If you want to learn more about how to train as effectively, safely, and efficiently as possible, pre-order the upcoming 3rd edition of High Intensity Workouts here.

I wrote the first edition of High Intensity Workouts years ago in response to the frequent requests from readers for personalized workouts and programs. This third edition will teach you even more about the principles of designing effective, safe, and efficient workout programs and how to optimize them for your body, your goals, and your circumstances.

In High Intensity Workouts 3rd Edition you will learn

• how to design and optimize workouts based on your goals, your condition, and your genetics
• how to select the best exercises for every muscle group with the available equipment
• how to perform exercises as effectively and safely as possible
• how to determine your optimal workout volume and frequency
• when to use full body, split, or specialization workouts
• how to determine your optimal rep range and/or TUL
• when and how to use advanced training methods and techniques
• how to properly track your workouts and physique transformation, and much more

To make this book as useful as possible for you, I invite you to e-mail your questions about high intensity training workout and program design and exercise performance in general, and I will incorporate the answers to as many of them as possible in this book.

Feedback on Previous Editions

“Great book, great workouts! I’m a little hesitant with ebooks, because most of the ones I’ve ordered are a total ripoff (little content, way over-priced). This one is by far the best I’ve seen. These workouts will keep my training fresh for many many months/years. Thanks!”

“Got the e-book and upon first glance Drew, it looks fantastic. I doubt too many people will appreciate what they received. They will only see the routines and hopefully will be thankful and apply them successfully. I see the years of reading and research that had to precede the compilation of those routines and for that I am thankful.”

– Bryan Frederick

“I would definitely give “High Intensity Workouts” a thumbs up. Inexperienced lifters will find this book to be an informative roadmap for their training, and experienced lifters can use it as checklist or motivation.”

– Jim Mardis
