Thanks M. Heatrick ; I've been looking forward this type of content for a while and now I also have some written articles about it. I'd love to get precise examples of successful scheduling from different work lives (sedentary -a driver is stationary not sedentary XD unless he's driving on simulations XDDD) but you already have my gratitude
Glad you found those videos! Yes, they’re here: Part 1 ruclips.net/video/XGVx8ofPTwE/видео.htmlsi=hrBXVj4laUtc3NLo Part 2 ruclips.net/video/l9zkoZQq0vE/видео.htmlsi=AFV8QdDy9nqV58ZA
A physically demanding job where you exert your body 8 hours a day at varied levels of intensity gives you a different type of fitness than intensive training for 1.5 hours a day. When I was younger I was involved in agricultural work for a couple years. I was really fit. Even if it was hard, it was in hot weather, I could just carry on doing it until the job was finished, just ignoring the discomfort and hardship. I was bone dead tired in the evening but the next day in the morning I was fresh and could repeat it. If you want to have intensive fighting training while working, I would suggest you seek a job that is your general fitness training. If you have not done something like this before, it takes a couple months, then your body has built the strength and stamina to comfortably do it every day. The advantage of this is, you get into a habit of not quitting as soon as something gets a bit uncomfortable. The little mimimi voice in your head that tells you to stop doing something because it's hard just simply stops and you can task your body to do the job, end of story.Within reasonable limits of course, but that voice that tells you to stop will shut up with increased training and you not answering it. At that point the physical work becomes okay and even mentally relaxing. Because a lot of physical jobs are less mentally stressful than for example office work.
Yes, what you describe is building “work capacity” - and that’s “work” in the mechanical sense of “work done” = force x distance The capacity to do work, exert effort over a distance. Lower efforts can be endured for longer, higher efforts inherently can’t. Higher efforts cease quickly whereas as longer efforts “grind” and there’s more time to mentally give up instead of fail to complete due to physical limitations. With repeated exposure to a given workload, your body will “accommodate” it, and that ceases to become a challenging stimulus and becomes background noise. It’s only with progressive variation in workload that your body continues to adapt (improve). A body with great work capacity can tolerate more work without failing. However, the recovery side of things must be balanced or things head south regardless. 😁👊
I'm the 3rd captain on a freighter. Can I be successful if I save money with 4.5-month working periods and train for the remaining 7.8 months? I am 26 years old and currently have 3.4 years of training history.
If you can still train while on the freighter, to maintain progress, then it could be possible. If there’s no training while on the freighter, you’ll detrain too much and lose your athletic gains.
"software engineer" ouch... I still do my best every morning but it's not easy. I'm currently following a functional training program but I'd really like to add more Muay Thai to my life. I miss it s lot!
@@heatrick totally! Actually today is the first day of my third month of functional training and the changes are evident. I even have more energy! I'm fully committed to this so in the near future I can restart my Muay Thai training without injuries and/or weaknesses.
Ok! So you have physical days as a result of your work, and then relative rest days from that work. You could treat your work days as pseudo “training” days when planning your weekly schedule, to ensure it’s accounted for and that you have enough recovery to maintain progress. Here are a couple of videos that go into planning your weekly training schedule… ruclips.net/video/XGVx8ofPTwE/видео.htmlsi=UA1NMKHbaiMzWgWt ruclips.net/video/l9zkoZQq0vE/видео.htmlsi=HEUI-K7RIbkkKs-z
Love how you put it into terms and you opened my eyes to the validity of physical jobs and training
Thanks, much appreciated :)
Such a great channel!
Thanks so much! :)

You’re welcome, glad it's helpful 😊

Keep your training to the priorities, and it's surprising how much progress you can make even on a "time budget". :)

Whats this balance thing you talk of? Lol
😆 All consuming 😜
I'm a mover. I work part time
