So thats why Redefining Strength's Unicorn Wrangler, Lynne C, has me doing all kinds of density intervals! Wowza! They are no joke. Team 1% pushing thru 7 reps of the rocking forward lunge ever so slowly! Thanks again, Cori!
With density intervals that I have recently adopted. It has helped me increased my weights with biceps curls and shoulder press. It truly works!!! I am super proud of myself for making a breakthrough after years of being stuck at a certain weight. Thanks Cori! Love the babies. They are so grown and forever adorable.
So I use anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute generally for each interval. But it does depend on the goal of the moves. And how long I would have client rest would depend on the schedule and workout breakdown. In a full body routine, I may do an upper two intervals, lower two intervals, upper two intervals and then rest or if it is longer intervals of work and two moves only in a compound set, maybe then 60-90 seconds of rest. BUT that even depends on the goals. Sometimes, as odd as it sounds, shorter intervals with heavier loads, I then include MORE rest after!
It resembles the mechanical drop set technique, where you start with a hard variation of an exercise until technical failure and immediately follow with an easier variation.
So you could use it as a dropset, lowering the intensity or load, but it is also not just that. You can use two forms of progression and even see it more as a compound burner set over a drop, going more compound to isolation. So often one isn't easier...but simply different. That's the beauty of it. There can be those different usages!
Well, she’s not in my head, but she kinda is !! Cracked me up at the beginning. 😂 who creates these sketches? I’m doing a Density Lift & Sweat program on Defining Strength. Great program!
Some ultra-runners passed me up a hill on my hike 3x today. I asked them finally, "how many times do you go up and back?" One of them answered: "Enough!" Getting the message today--it's not just about reps..THANKS!
I use to do 3 sets of 12 reps when lifting weights. I've switched to timed-sets instead. For running, I do intervals. 0:28 Is that Cori, the fitness goddess? 😄
So many options. And 3 sets of 12 has value. But sometimes we need progression through the same but different to even be able to go back to that and maximize those reps more!
I’m with you, I don’t think I fully understood either. I even read the script. I’m a new baby to strength training but it sounded like she’s saying instead of doing 3 sets of 12xreps do 30 seconds of the exercise? And switch up weights or movements or timing? I don’t really know for sure, you’re not the only one 😅
I LOVE learning from you every week :)
Thank you! I'm so glad the videos help each week!

YAAAASSS! The method behind the "madness" haha And I love that combo with the rocking lunge. It's a deceptive one!
@@redefiningstrengthOC What's the rocking lunge? I love learning new things.
@@ChittarupaYogaI believe rocking lunges are also called pendulum lunges, if that helps. You can find a YT video showing the move
@@liteicedcoffee thanks

WOO HOOO! Love you've seen those strength gains!
Thanks for another great video Cori!! Love this style of workout. Looks like it has been helping you build some muscle this year!!??💪💪
It's a good one! And yes, I've been loving density intervals and timed strength workouts for that increased intentionality and pushing past failure!
Great video Cori. Very informative. Watching in 🇬🇧👍
Thank you! So glad it helped!
I love your videos very creative and informative ❤
Glad they help!
Thank you very much Cori
Thaaaaank you. You always bring it. 😍
Thanks! :-)
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
So glad it helped!
I love this concept! I plan to try it out this evening.
Have fun!
So much to learn from you, thank you.
So glad the videos helped!
Cori- loved this!! Can you give any idea of what time to use and then rest after 2 exercises before moving on??
I was wondering about that too.

I was about to say the same thing…how different/similar is density workouts to drop sets & pyramid sets?
I am wondering too.

@@redefiningstrengthOC awesome. Thanks for explaining.
Thank you so much!😊😊😊
Glad it helps!
Interesting! Thank you. 😊
Glad it helps!
You look great!!
Thanks!

Coach HOOK EM by that I mean superlative job
hehe thanks!
@redefiningstrengthOC my pleasure and edification coach thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule in responding

Sounds awesome! And she is so funny, I enjoy her intros.
hehe I owe Ryan for this one :-) And yay! Glad you're liking that! It was a fun one to experiment with and then get to share!
RYAN!!! 😊

YES! It's about the challenge to create results!
Cool pants 👍
Thanks!
Methinks you have won the genetic lottery.
Go back and look at my videos from when I started the channel. You'll see the changes hard work over the last decade can bring.
@@redefiningstrengthOC I will.

0:28 Is that Cori, the fitness goddess? 😄
That sounds more efficient. I used to do the same thing and have switched, but now I am going to try what she suggests here.

Wow❤
But what is density interval? You assume that everyone understands the term.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't assume. I take the video to explain in in detail actually :-)

Amazing 🩵💙🩵💪🏻
Your intros 🤣🤣🤣 Yes to density intervals!
Thank you!
like the IDT from the old T-Mag from 20+ years ago . .
nothing new here, except get your attitude straight and just do it . .
Not claiming this is new. But often not used or remembered and it is a killer tool :-)
