While it can be argued that there is a general recipe for strength training (warm-up, main lifts, accessory lifts, supplementary work), the skill and art of putting together an effective program comes in the individualization of each element.

There are infinite combinations of exercises, sets, reps, loads, and rests, and manipulating any parameter will yield different results. On this weeks episode we dive into different considerations when creating a strength program for an individual (or yourself!).

We all go through times in our lives where there just isn't the time we once had to dedicate to ourselves and fitness.

Unlike many of our other episodes, this episode is geared towards training to be fit for life not training for a specific event or race.
