#213 - Intensity: The Most Misunderstood Part Of Training (And How To Get It Right)
Description
Intensity gets talked about a lot in the gym… but most people are using the word completely wrong. In strength and conditioning, intensity can mean different things depending on who you learned from, what sport you’re in, and what your training goals actually are.
So in this episode, I’m back in the studio with the Red Dot Fitness crew to clear it all up. We break down what intensity really means, how we define it inside our programming, and how you should apply it so you’re training hard without training stupid.
If you’ve ever looked at an intensity recommendation and weren’t totally sure what it meant—or if you’ve been guessing your way through your sessions—this conversation is going to save you time, effort, and a whole lot of frustration.
Enjoy the show!
