The day I realized I don't have to stick to a 7-day schedule and started experimenting with 8-10 day blocks, I made such gains quickly and broke through a very hard plateau. It was like a revelation to me I could skip 7 days as a framework 😂 Long time ago by now, thanks for the reminder Nicklas. Great video.

Bro always finds a way to make basic training methods sound like something new and that apparently all people doing wrong 😂

14 day blocks is a interesting idea I have never thought about

So right with everything you said.
My wife has stagnated but refuses easy runs.
So after 33 years of not running I'm using the MAF method to prove to her easy runs make you faster . Both in our 60's

I guess almost any plan works if we execute it consistently with proper rest (hrv and rest hr in green zone). We often overcomplicate training :) imho

Jogging, running and sprinting. It's that simple.

Honestly, I think that you should never cut calories.

Change what you eat. Change how active you are.

Focus on getting healthy instead of getting skinny or ripped.

Building a bigger engine will get you the physique on it's own with enough time.

(laying more hose) Yeah good blood flow would help with that

Mike Mentzer worked with ten-day blocks. For some reason, it never occurred to me to try this with endurance training. In my humble opinion, the reason endurance beginners train three times a week is that the sense of capability peaks—on average—two and a half days after a major workout; it has absolutely nothing to do with the time required for stimulation and recovery.

The garden analogy is perfect

I write this comment to remind the algorithm to show you this video after 7 years.

It would be nice if you could just say outright what the four kinds of training we need to do are.

Love this! I’m in my mid 30s now, former college wrestler and I always struggled with the training week. Over the last 8 months or so I’ve adopted a new mindset for training that is simply “what’s next?” I have a handful of training days that focus on different aspects. For example, if I have a workout routine that consists of a leg day, back day, and chest day, it doesn’t matter the day of the week, whether work got in the way, whether I needed an extra rest day, etc. If I did legs yesterday, I simply know that back is next and complete it when I can. This has had a tremendous positive impact on the mental part of my training, which has then translated to positive impacts on the physical part of my training.

I've just got an answer to the question that bothered me for so long. Brilliant content.

Nick is the King of analogies 😂 Great video! 🔥

Best analogy I’ve heard

2:14 I always try to lay more hose.

Thank you. I liked the video. I will try to increment my training.
