Really outstanding. Sign me up as a subscriber. I have been weight training for many years but no one has explained the benefits of training to failure as well as you. Many thanks.
Thanks for the very well explanation. What happens to your body when you are doing HIIT, i.e. 30 seconds sprint to full exhaustion followed by 90 seconds of rest (slow movement) and repeating this for 8 times. With HIITT you are not so much pushing you muscles I guess?
I'm curious as to what you feel about duration for intensity once you get down sub 5 reps. Various studies, anecdotal evidence(looking at power lifters vs bodybuilders) generally show that under 5 reps isn't optimal for hypertrophy. I realize this video is probably more geared to the "average" person who needs to correct metabolic disorder. My curiosity is mostly theoretical about at what point the exchange of duration for intensity stops benefiting overall health/resting metabolic rate vs the other means that strength increases(neuro, etc). I'm also curious about what the body's adaptation is if you reach a certain point with type 2 fibers, say spending a year getting bench to 225, squat to 315, deadlift to 315 and then just increase reps. Will the body maintain that strength level but start switching to using type 1 fibers to move the weight? ie if you go to reasonably heavy weights as mentioned above and then just do the same amount of sets, reps and weight and never decrease or increase, does the body slowly switch to type 1 fibers or is there a maximal limit to how much weight type 1 can move.
I think this is only half of the story. It depends what the athlete wants. There are possibly more body builders who are metabolically unhealthy as compared too endurance athletes? If an endurance athlete trained the way you described they would fail. I think this talk should have been framed another way. Not that one system is bad and another is good, rather that one method achieves one outcome and another achieves a different outcome. Which one is good or bad can only be determined by the individuals own goals. It might be worth listening to Indigo San Milan - the coach/physiologist of the UAE team?
And Mike Mentzer in his later years. I bought the 2 books that he wrote. He does put a lot of focus on recovery especially in the second book because of how metabolically taxing it is to train in this way.
what do you recommend for someone on wheelchair? I can do dumbbells, some chest with resistance bands & battle ropes. no legs for me, only arms and chest.
Hey, if you are able to chin or pull (or latpulldown on cables or bands), dips (or wall press or band chest press), shoulder press with dumbbells (or with bands) and chest supported rows on a machine, with dumbbells or barbell (or with bands) you will be a better you.
Andiam give yourself a stress test , jog for 9 minutes on a treadmill or in the park , and if you have no issues of concern , then you have a lower chance of a cardiovascular event . I’m 67 and jogfor 10 minutes daily , and do resistant training / calisthenics at my local park every other day checkout redstar black star and bam baam amongst so many others to give you some encouragement as well best of health to you.
11:03 find a hungry tiger and put maximum effort in running for your life. Viola, glycogen depleted and a strong message sent to your body that your inadequate and guaranteed you will put in 100%!
Wrong kemp sabe. No one knows the best intensity level because it is hard to measure. What is 80% of your curl intensity. The only fairly accurate measure is muscle failure so that is what is used but how do you know that 80% is not optimum? You are making it up!
Monkey Brain you just answer your doubts. One measurement is thru Muscle failure. If doing A+B over interval = muscle failure. Repeat and increase Either A or B or Interval to get your muscle failure. Other measurements include breathless or point of failure.
There is no measurement, it’s an observation. When it hits you is only slightly subjective, if you’re being honest with yourself. This is not measurement, or comparing to a scale.
So what? Every workou on gym should last 2-5 minutes? For 2 days? Even if that's true it's so sad. I.love spending time on gym. Answer me btw just to try your way. If the only way to build muscle is 2-5 minutes workout.
My guess is what he’s actually saying is try to reach that state of absolute maximum usage EVEN IF that means after like five minutes you’re out of steam
There's values both in steady state cardio and strength training. Fat burning and muscle building are not the only goals in physical activities.
"Always trade duration for intensity." I'll remember this.
DeepOneForThought absolutely let us know how it goes in your training
I have known this a long time but always seem to drift away to other forms of exercise. Thanks for bringing back my sanity.
Great explanation. I’ve been explaining this for years. This is a good analogy
Jay Vincent intensity is key!
Thank you Dr. Naiman. Now I understand. Now off to build the new me👍💪💪😁🏋🏋🏋
Really eye opening. This will change my life!
Linda amazing! Keep us posted on how you’re exercise performance improves

alphamale3141 thank you !
This isn't Ted Naiman's channel? Here is Dr. Naimans official channel: ruclips.net/video/SzcOz38FjaU/видео.html
So helpful!! Thank you. I do orange theory and I love it! High intensity interval training for life. I started at 43, been doing it nearly 3 years.
Best advice I have ever heard. Thank you!!!

Good advice! See also the book 'Body by Science' by McGuff and Little for more on this topic.
Thanks
jbutzi thank you.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Would this be the same for people with damaged Mitochondria?
Those world class marathoners run at 5mpm for 26 miles, and you say all their fast twitch muscles have atrophied? Nuts!
Does a DEXA scan show how much type 1 & type 2 muscle?
Doctor, you should consider getting AAA. And maybe get a new car as well. Pushing cars uphill is very stressful.
Sprinting uphill can do the trick.
I think you’d really want to do it with all muscles, sprinting won’t do that for upper body

what about type 1 muscle workouts for the heart health?
My question, exactly. Assuming you mean the risk of a heart attack!
Heart is getting trained very hard during sprints.
Soooo Arthur Jones was right circa 1970 or so 🤷🏻♂️

There were no studies back then so it was just theory.. :)

does this work at 63 years old
Yes

4 Minute sprint!!????.....Surely a contradiction in terms
