Thanks for this podcast. I started with 1Day with 2 Session like a week a go. I did it out of a need to do more training with more recovery in between. It already works. I feel more recovered and feel less fatigue than training 3-4x2hour sessions week. Best thing I ever implement in my training.
@@tupacsoulja same. My girl doesn't get it. Got to deal with her asking, if I am training for other women to like me. Or if I am cheating. etc. They don't undestand that you are doing it for your fucking self man. I put my foot down and said "LOOK THIS IS FOR ME and no one else, I want to know how far I can take myself with dedication" Other guys go party or dring every other day. Some others may just sit at home watching TV or play video games not paying attention to you either but wasting their fucking life's. We go to the gym. I think I also have ADHD and going to the gym helps me deal with the extra energy. Also it allows me to meet people with the same drive to take themselves to another level. I need gym time like I need food and sleep. If I cant fuck because I destroyed my body at the gym then wait for my rest day woman. Damn. I hate when they try to make you feel guilty for doing something for yourself. You are your own person.
upper lower? am i the only one who runs chest/back day 1 bis/tris/rear side delts day 2, day 3 quads hams calves forearms? works great for me, best bicep and tricep growth i've ever had. will likely go back to PPL to focus chest/back but im still growing with back/chest days.
I’m currently on 3 to 5 sessions per day. 10-20 minutes per session with only 2-6 working sets and at least an hour between sessions. It works with my schedule because my gym is on my delivery route and I cross it multiple times per day.
Having just built a home gym, I am training twice a day now and it’s a dream. This podcast couldn’t have come out at a more opportune time. Thanks, Steve!
When mike is asking who the hell goes to the gym to do 5 sets of curls? Dude, I don't have to go anywhere to do 5 sets of curls, I don't even have to leave my room 👍😁💪
An interesting caveat in terms who this training might be good for, are those of us who never have enough time to get a solid, SINGLE session in. For instance, if you're working 12 hours a day, not counting your commute to and from work, along with having a family, splitting up your sessions in a intelligent manner might be the best bang for your buck way to get the most out of your time in the gym. Now, obviously this really only pertains to those like myself who have equipment at home, and possibly those that frequent a gym that is on the way to or from work. However, it is doable. What I've been experimenting with is doing a push/pull (not push pull legs). Monday & Thursday : AM session is quads and chest. So for instance, Incline bench, squat, dips, lunges. The PM session would be side delts, triceps and calves followed by cardio. Tuesday & Friday : AM session is back and hamstrings. Something like RDL, Pull Up, Cable Row, Hamstring curls. PM session would be biceps, traps and rear delts followed by cardio. AM sessions along with PM sessions can be done in a super-set fashion with a minute or so between sets, if you pair the movements correctly. So not TRUE super-sets, but it does allow you to condense the sessions further if you're short on time. Squat and bench for instance, might be a tough to pair together, so worst case scenario you do straight sets on bench, then do straight sets on squat, and then super set dips and lunges. If you can't super set dips and lunges with 30 seconds to a minute between sets, you're sandbagging. The same goes for db rows or cable rows and super setting that with something like leg curls on days 2 and 4. Do the first 2 big exercises in straight set fashion to get the most out of them. Do whatever you want in the PM session. Super set or don't, the session will be short enough over-all that it shouldn't matter. On the last 2 workouts of the week, swap exercises for variety keep volume manageable and realistic. When you have long days, trying to get that one longer, single session each day can be a real task. If anything, the psychological aspect alone when thinking of doing 2 shorter sessions is of real benefit, as opposed to thinking about finding enough to get an adequate single session in, whether before or after work, not to mention the other things you have to do.
Thank you for sharing this! I feel like I'd be a little concerned about training twice daily on a busy and stressful day already, having to warm up and potentiate etc! But I'm not bashing it, definitely could be useful for some! - Coach Jess
@@ReviveStronger Agreed, it can be a bit much. Of course when one is working a substantial amount of hours, any reasonable program can end up being a bit too much unfortunately when required effort is put forth. After experimenting myself, I've found 2 a day training with a busy schedule, particularly if done on a 4 day a week split, is better suited to an upper lower. You can super-set more conveniently on both your upper and lower day and the typical accessories on each of those days work well when you throw them in a quick in and out PM session. Thanks for the reply.
@@commonsense5188 love your comment. Any advice on how you’ve found 2 a day using Upper Lower? Organising my training now for 2 a day based on Upper Lower 4 days a week training
Hadn't gotten around to this one, but it was mentioned on one of Mike's RP presentations on comparing hypertrophy routines. Excellent. Additionally, good lord Charly's smooth baritone voice is enviable. 800 lbs squatters and their deep voices, it's a conspiracy, man.
Now I understand!! Eat more easy to digest carbs(rice/white bread etc) and lean proteins(turkey chicekn or lean red meat or lentils) and low in fat(10%) and if you want to eat butter eat in small amount and at dinner vs in early morning breakfast(because it takes time to digest...) and lift heavy and sleep well and then you automatically become bodybuilder!!
Good video, but I really wanted Charlie to detail what one of his two-a-day training/eating is like. After Jared went off on his rant, you forgot about that.
I'm just sitting here surround by my training equipment feeling smug thinking "Who goes to the gym to do 5 sets of curls? **looks at the kettlebells and barbell by the wall** I mean...."
I do 2-a-days when I need to, either physically, mentally, or logistically. It really IS a luxury, though, as it implies one has the time and freedom to do so.
Awesome video! It was one thing that was a bit unclear to me. Do you ideally want 2 meals in before your PM session (assuming your session is 5-6 hours later)
It depends on the individual how much but the total meals don't matter. Loading up on carbs and electrolytes is the most important. There's quite some literature on nutrition and 2 a days
Great Vid! I've a question about weekly MRV. I feel like i can not reach MRV for lots of muscle groups even if i up volume a ton and stay around an average RIR of 2. I really have to end Mesos intentionally by lowing the RIR, instead of autoregulating its length and just go to failure if i see performance decreases. It becomes so exessive that i'm even over-recovered after a 10set HighBar Squat Session on RIR 1 so that my performance on the next Leg Press Session improves just two days after. I would guess my MRV for back around 50 sets, 6 times frequency. Im average height, weight and i trained long enough to have a pretty good guess on RIR. Im still not advanced so my weights used obviously aren't high. I still don't think these are the reasons my MRVs are so huge. I just dont know how to program right, if i am capable of accumulating so much volume. Should my Mesos take like forever, should i accumulate very aggressively or maybe even start with a much higher MEV right from the start and then just progress normally from there on? And how many muscle groups can i even train together so i just don't end up smashing tons of junk volume bcs reaching per Session MRV first. Thanks gentles.
Mate I’m exactly the same, I think it’s just a case of running longer meso’s and adding sets aggressively so if your not going in to a session sore and performance is good just add two to three sets to that muscle group per session, it just gets annoying spending hours in the gym trying to hit muscles to local MRV and you can’t get there, I think the best option is to keep a couple of muscles at MEV.
Pre workout for am and protein shake if pm session lands after 5pm. However if when I get am session before 9am and pm session before 3pm I have definitely used pre workout for both sessions.
