Why Low Volume Training Is The Dark Horse To Get Back In Shape

Why Low Volume Training Is The Dark Horse To Get Back In Shape
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re over 40 and short on time, chances are it’s hard for you to stay consistent lifting weights at the gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet your desire to regain the energy, vitality and body you once had is big.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The issue I’ve seen over the years, and I’ve run into myself, is that most workout programs out there have you working out 60-120 minutes per session.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You end up spending hours upon hours at the gym and doing too much volume.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aside from robbing you precious time from your business and family, this can take a hit at your testosterone levels.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A study done in elite athletes shows that overtraining causes hormonal imbalances.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are young elite athletes who DON’T run a business, who DON’T have a family, who get tons of sleep and who are 20 years younger than you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their ability to recover is significantly higher than yours.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet by overtraining those athletes had a 50% drop in testosterone levels.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s because cortisol shuts down your ability to produce testosterone naturally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you train too frequent on high volume, this leader to overtraining.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And overtraining is more common than you think and it can happen to anyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truth be told you can look great and get six pack lean without having to hit the gym 6x a week or get on TRT.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s the beauty of low-volume training – you get the goods of both worlds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Low-volume, slow motion training is foundation of the Kinetic Method.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Low-volume training is exactly what it sounds like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s reducing:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
– the number of days you work out
– the amount of time you work out
– the number of sets and reps you do
– and the selection of exercises you perform.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the opposite of what most mainstream fitness programs have you do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With low-volume training, you’ll have higher quality workouts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No more wasted time in the gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, you utilize every second you’re there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see that on the image of one of my clients using his Tonal to work out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to low volume, slow motion training he’s able to get in 15 minutes of time under tension in just 28 minutes of training, which is the time your muscles are actually working.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All while lifting over 11k pounds in one session.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you show me where else you get that ROI?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the best advantages of low-volume training is that you’ll be able to hold onto muscle with more sustainability.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s because low-volume training requires lifting with heavier weight, which targets your myofibrils.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This creates myofibrillar hypertrophy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This type of muscle growth is easy to maintain and hard to lose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you take a few weeks off from the gym and then come back, you won’t notice much change in your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the low-volume training dark horse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With high-volume training, you’ll notice a drastic difference if you take off a few weeks — or even a few days — from the gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See how much more sustainable and efficient low volume training is?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine if you now add slow motion movements to the cake = you get transformations like you see all over my website.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only does low-volume training buy back your time, but it also enhances your results in the gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you train with low-volume, you’re giving your body ample rest and recovery essential for muscle growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The body grows while in rest mode, not while it’s on the battlefield of the weight room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The human body needs a lot more time to replenish than you think.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you lift weights, you deplete your muscle glycogen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your central nervous system (CNS) also takes a toll.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do that too often and now your body will start to pump out cortisol.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which will then shut down your ability to produce testosterone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which will then make it harder for you to build lean muscle mass.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which is why so many guys who hit the gym don’t even look like they lift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The only guys at the gym who can get away with very high volume are guys who are on drugs and steroids, as their recovery is faster.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before you hire another personal trainer or fitness coach, make sure to vet them with these questions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your lifestyle as a business owner is different than a full-time athlete.
