| 0:00.0 | And when you think about all those things you want to accomplish, |
| 0:05.6 | if we were then to sort of codify them into a bunch of exercises or areas of your health |
| 0:10.4 | that you had to now be thinking about, that I needed to be thinking about, |
| 0:14.2 | what are the most important things? |
| 0:17.0 | So I'm a 32-year-old. |
| 0:18.8 | What are the most important parts of my health that I should be thinking about if I want to achieve all the things that I said to you in my final decade? |
| 0:25.2 | No one in the final decade of their life ever said, I wish I had less strength and I wish I had less endurance. |
| 0:32.2 | So you cannot be too strong and you cannot be too fit. The only time that one would throttle back on the pursuit of |
| 0:39.9 | those is, A, if doing so is coming at the expense of something else, either with respect to your |
| 0:45.6 | health or your life, and two, if the pursuit of that at such an extreme level produces risk of injury. Okay. So, in other words, |
| 0:56.8 | could I be stronger than I am today? Yes. I'll give you an example. We know that in resistance |
| 1:03.9 | training, the sweet spot for pure strength is one to five reps. When your goal is to maximize strength, you need to be pushing one, two, |
| 1:19.2 | three, four, five reps. Once you start thinking about hypertrophy, muscle size, we're starting to think |
| 1:24.2 | about seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve reps. Once we start thinking |
| 1:27.8 | about muscular endurance, we start thinking about north of 15, right? Those are the general |
| 1:32.0 | patterns of resistance training. So if I want to build my muscles because I'm going for aesthetic |
| 1:37.3 | goals, then I need to be aiming above five reps. It needs to be 10 or 12. Yeah, if I'm just purely |
| 1:41.8 | thinking about strength, bigger weights, but lower reps. |
| 1:44.9 | That's exactly right. Okay. And then if I want muscular endurance, which is... It's going to be even higher reps. Okay. Lower weight. Yep. Okay. So, again, we could go into much more detail around that. But just to finish the point here, why do I not do much training at one to five reps? In fact, these days, I don't do any training at one to five reps anymore. |
| 2:03.5 | Why? |
| 2:04.6 | Because... Why do I not do much training at one to five reps? In fact, these days I don't do any training at one to five reps anymore. |
| 2:03.3 | Why? |
