Summary

Muscle Intelligence has opened the doors temporarily for new members ready to start in January 2023. We train Champions. If you’re interested, click here to see if you qualify.

99 times out of 100, the real reason you stop during your training is not because the muscle you’re training fails. This means there’s a lot of room to improve the DEPTH (intensity) of your workout.

Increasing depth is way more than just putting another plate on the bar. It’s about training more intensely with full control. And to get there, it’s not just about your PHYSICAL BODY but also MENTAL ABILITY.

In today's episode, you'll learn:

The POWER OF FOCUS and mindset to develop depth in training
How to select exercises for YOUR optimal training
The 8 Big Bottlenecks stopping you from getting results in training
A big frame, small frame approach to maximally challenge the muscle
How to find the path of maximal stimulation

Don't forget to pick up the episode guide at muscleintelligence.com/learn.

0:00.0	This is a great lesson for everybody listening.
0:10.1	If you're taking the mindset of, I have to, into your workout, you're missing the point, right?
0:18.0	Take a mindset of curiosity, take a mindset of exploration, and take a
0:22.6	mindset of focus and depth into your workout, right? So what does depth mean, right? So the world we
0:29.1	live in is very superficial. It's very focused on breadth rather than depth. If I could give you
0:34.2	guys a piece of advice, I give an example, actually. I had a gentleman who's in my coaching team came up last weekend and he's here for four days.
0:41.0	And normally in the workouts that I prescribed for him, he's probably doing 12 to 15 sets per body part, which a lot.
0:47.0	He's a big guy, a muscular guy.
0:49.2	And he's like, oh man, you know, I think I can do more.
0:51.0	I'm not really in time constraints.
0:52.3	I'm like, okay. So how many sets do you think we did when he was here? One and he was destroyed, right? So what was the
0:58.8	difference? Quality and depth. Depth isn't in a literal sense of like squatting deeper. It's like
1:06.0	how far are you taking a set, right? It's like normally the sets are very superficial. You
1:10.2	kind of stick you kind of
1:10.8	stick your big toe and you're like, okay, I'm down, that's enough. The focus is lacking,
1:14.3	execution is lacking, the ability to take the set deep is absent, you know? And so one of the
1:20.8	greatest pieces of advice, us as coaches can offer you guys, is train depth, right? Train the ability to go deeper. And sometimes when we,
1:31.2	when we focus on breadth, meaning I want to do more, coach, I want to do more sets, do more exercises.
1:38.1	What do we miss? We miss the depth, right? We go, we go wide and not deep. And when you guys learn to go deep first,
1:47.6	your results will be exponential. So first, it's quality, right? Has to be the prerequisitive
1:52.6	at all, like move well. We're talking about that today. And then it's like, how do I take a single
1:58.2	set as far as I physically can? The exercise experience, let's talk about that.
