NEW! Training Differently
This article is based on my experience over the course of the year with ‘training differently.’ As I’ve learned to train differently, I believe I’ve hit on an ideal way to train for virtually everyone.Background:
Ever since I began weight training as a 13 year old, the objective was always to lift heavy weights. This has been true through every training incarnation that has spanned almost a half century. It was even true in more recent years when I have used much better form and longer duration repetitions.It always made sense because I was quite good at using lots of resistance in most movements. I enjoyed training that way and rarely got hurt. I also was able to continue to use amounts of resistance in many exercises well into my 50’s that were about the same as resistance that I used in the same or similar exercises many years before. There was no reason to change something that worked so well.

Can high intensity training be performed in a way that allows for easier recovery, less chance of injury, more frequent training, and possibly better outcomes?
