      Keeps you lean and healthy. Too few people do this, they blame the kids for being too tired.
      I've had to modify my exercise routines regularly since beginning to stay at home with the kids 12 yrs ago. People will comment that it's easy to stay fit because I'm home. Reality is that, for me, it was much easier when I was working in an office and had an actual schedule and separate workout area. Only as the kids have gotten older (8 or 9 or older) do I get uninterrupted blocks of time.

    I've actually done this because of dealing with depression. It was easier and healthier to accomplish small tasks frequently than build up to accomplish long marathons. As a result, not sure if you mentioned this, you have endorphin spikes throughout the day as well that I think is healthy for your brain and body and stress levels, but that's purely my experience not any science.
    I actually apply this to just about everything in life, especially studying, and it has had really fantastic results that I won't TLDR here, but glad to hear someone who probably knows more of the science than I do analyze and promote the concept. Short side note: I would love to see the effect of shorter schedules on productivity in the workplace at large. It has really improved literally everything I do in life in multiples, most importantly the joy from things I thought I hated.

      @@ashtonhamilton5931 I wouldn't necessarily spread sets of a single exercise out throughout the day. I would finish the single exercise at least within about 20 minutes. For me, say I'm doing back, I'll do the hardest and most important first, like pullups. Throughout the day (especially since I don't want to get sweaty all day) I would do assistor muscle training. Biceps curls, lat pull, forearm curls, etc. The other muscles I use to increase pull ups and back strength. I can usually train them without getting super sweaty and exhausted so it works well in between other activities throughout the day. Same for the other major compound lifts on other days of the week.

    have you heard of martial arts coach, Firas Zahabi, and his training philosophy?
    he says you should only work out in a way that elevates your energy level. so basically pick something up, play with it, put it down, repeat as soon and as often as you are able to do it without getting tired.
    try this: get a couple of 5 lbs dumbbells, shadow box till you're no longer having fun, put them down, have a cup of tea, now hold a 20lbs kettle bell and practice your dance moves. rest when you're not having fun anymore and only return once you're completely relaxed ~10-20 mins~ then try dunking in basketball! great workout! etc. etc.
    build lots of strength, raises your caloric requirement by like 2000~ because you're essentially working out 100+ times a day

      If you do a single exercise at a time you don't get sweaty. It's not for endurance exercises but it works well for strength or exercises that focus on some of the peripheral supporting muscles. Also for the exercises you hate doing (squats in my case), it seems easier psychologically if you do them as a one-off.

    I was hoping you'd cover this subject at some point. I've been using a twice-per-day routine for about one year now and I've never had so much increase in strength, size, overall fitness, and this considering I am a 57-year-old hardgainer. While the entire routine is a bit complicated to go into here, the short version of my two-per-day is:
    - Each workout tops out at around 40 minutes.
    - I exercise only two muscle groups during both workouts, using supersets so the workout stays under 40 minutes.
    - I perform no more than 8 sets for each muscle (two different exercises of 4 sets each), per workout.
    - The morning workout is heavy weight/low reps. The evening workout is light weight/high reps.
    - Morning workout is straight non-nonsense reps, not to failure. Evening exercise is very slow eccentric, always to failure.
    - Although I exercise the same two muscles in a day, I always use different exercises from morning to evening, i.e. hit it from numerous angles.
    - I do two days on, one day off for two complete weeks, then deload on the third week with VERY light weights, lots of brisk walking, stretching, and some easy bodyweight exercises.
    Rinse/Repeat.

    • @bxmully
      @bxmully 4 года назад +1

      Try doing heavy weights with slow eccentrics and fewer reps. Longer rest periods between these sets. And always doing at least two warmuo sets with lighter weight and higher reos to prevent injury from hopping into heavy weighted reos right away.
      Personally I noticed the best strength gains that way. It helps build myofibril in muscle tissue as opposed to sarcoplasm growth which is seen in your typical hypertrophic regiment.
      You will see an increase in muscle desnity and strength rather than size. This is actually how to build better resting muscle tone. Straight hypertrophy only for extended periods kf time gave me less define more puffy looking muscles even if I had a lower body fat percentage.

    • @AngryOscillator

      ​@@bxmully Not everyone needs warm up sets, go look at Laird Hamilton for example. I never warm up, never had a problem. I mean, I wouldn't try a 1 rep max... but then I never have so 🤷‍♂️ don't see what the benefit is myself, aside from ego. By doing supersets he is not only gaining the strength from the high mechanical tension but will also be stressing the cardiovascular system
      He IS lifting heavy, the light weight stuff is muscular endurance. If every light lift caused sarcoplasmic growth then runners would be in BIG trouble after a while! Also, what 'typical hypertrophic regiment'? This isn't the 80s anymore, few people tell you to rep for 20, its all 8-12, which is solid hypertrophy developing the number of sarcomeres.
      Muscle tone? Really? Again, this aint the 80s. True you can get that sarcoplasmic pump for a bit and puff up but if you are doing anything else then muscle tone is... I want to say bro science but Jane Fonda is springing to mind 😁 I'm confused though because 'better resting muscle tone' is legit, but its more about neuromuscular facilitation than the composition of the muscle itself. Gotta lift heavy bro 😁 or keep solid time under tension a la gymnasts and such. Both of which the OP is doing.

And I do a last workout of 30min at the end of the day(mostly calisthenics)
    I started doing this for 2 months now, I was an absolute beginner in fitness, I did not do thar on purpose, did it just because this was the best way to do enough sport with my schedule.

In 20 minutes you can do around 10 sets of chest with short rests. If it was chest day and you were short of time you could easily do 5 or 6 heavy sets of chest in 20 minutes. Convenient if short of time or energy and sometimes benefiical not to do loads of sets and waste too much energy.

I still do 30 min to 1 hour tabata sessions of kickboxing, stretching, running and skill sessions several times a week. I’m now going to start adding pull-ups and handstands into my quick sessions. Thanks for the vid!

    Blocks of 20 minutes at time works well for me, and allows for more types of workout within the week. Perfect for maximum intensity. Only down side, after a few months your endurance really plummets. But a once per week 2 hour session can offset that.

    I've already reverted back to doing this after seeing your recent gem of a video on functional training. Reminded me of my later years in school. Wasn't quite as strong or powerful as I am now, but I felt a lot more active throughout the day, because I'd be more active, rather than isolating exercises as I've been doing for way too long. Thanks for being the spark for that. There's definitely a lot of truth in this sort of training, especially if you want to be more athletic overall, physically and mentally. Oh yeah, around 3:37 be careful with one arm push ups like those, over time it can wear out the cartilage in the shoulder joint because of the angle of the arm. Try archer push ups instead. If archer push ups feel too easy, wear a weighted vest. Cheers butt 👍

    Hey man, thank you for this inspiration. I train regulary in the morning without any breakfast for 30-60 minutes. And i started working out in a gym since January. I was so motivated that i did too much at the beginning and became sick. My immune system wasn't prepared for that i guess. Then i read about the "Open Window Effect", that can happen if you train too much. That really took a lot of my motivation... since i don't have the best immune system due to a autoimmune disorder. But maybe splitting the workout like you explain will help me with adapting to more training^^ Thank you :)

    Very well done. I usually don't listen to a great deal of commentary however, yours was spot on for what I'm trying to achieve. I'm over 50yrs and I don't eat carbs and things have been going great. The action or activity throughout the day adds more energy to the workout. You can do more destruction to the muscle to break it down. Great video. Please create a video regarding older guys working at it. Thanks.

  • @ruiseartalcorn
    @ruiseartalcorn 2 года назад +1

    I've trained this way from time to time over many years. It works, for all the reasons mentioned in this video. However, I found that by spreading the training throughout the day I was constantly thinking about the next mini workout. One can become a little obsessive about getting enough sessions in each day, which can be rather dominating. For me, a short workout in the morning (usually of an aerobic nature) and some strength training in the late afternoon was a better fit.

  • @prob_io7299
    @prob_io7299 4 года назад +2

    I have been doing a spread workout schedule for a couple of months now and it's spectacular simply put.
    I work about 3 muscles every day in a spread workout 3-4-5 times a day, and then take 3 days rest which also helps with the muscle recovery quite well.
    Even when I do rest days from a muscle group I work on another.
    Great.

  • @nothingtofear
    @nothingtofear 4 года назад +1

    Makes sense. I was a commando, the course was at least 2 big physical sessions every day but the day was also interspersed with press ups, fireman’s carries, burpees (commonly known as bastards) and leopard crawls. We ran between every location and carried weight most of the time. During periods of my life when I have been unable to ‘train’ then I would just bang out some press ups to failure or sprint between locations. The only problem that I see is over use injuries but this can be avoided by varying the training. Also do you ever take a rest day, I only use active rest, rest is rust! Keep up the amazing work.

He started doing this 5 times throughout the day after his retirement last year. So far he has lost about 80 pounds. He also walks a couple times per day for about 20-30 mins.

It really could help doing 3 or 4 extra sessions of weight workout because i dont have an entire hour extra per day to do it. Thank you so much bro, im kinda really surprised that there is no scientific research about this.

    Applied this method before. Mini sessions spread over a longer period of time. Especially when preparing for my outdoor sea and hiking expeditions. Didn't go to a gym and lift traditional weights. Lot of calisthenics, combat sport drills and the occasional short run. Ended up being fitter than I've ever been. Size gains too with surprisingly good speed and agility too.
