| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence podcast. I'm your host, Pemplekowski. Today we're going to talk about how I approach training now after 40, specifically what I do the second I walk into a gym to make the most of my day. |
| 0:11.6 | So one of the biggest challenges that a lot of guys are having is they're not getting the results for the amount of time, effort, and sacrifice they put into the gym. |
| 0:19.5 | The reality is most people are going to |
| 0:20.9 | blame things like testosterone. They're going to blame the nutrition. And yeah, those are definitely |
| 0:24.6 | important. But what I recognize after literally being in thousands of gyms, maybe now around the |
| 0:30.0 | world, is that probably 95% of guys just simply don't get it done in the gym. You just don't know |
| 0:35.6 | how to train even when you're like, |
| 0:38.8 | man, I do pretty good. Like I work pretty hard. And I'm not trying to really cool anybody or put |
| 0:44.0 | anybody down. I just want to give you some perspective on how to make the most of every single |
| 0:49.9 | rep, every single set, ultimately every single workout in the gym. And let's say walking a brand new gym, never been there, or the one you go into every day. |
| 0:57.5 | Following the same canned workout that you pull from somebody on YouTube is obviously a really |
| 1:01.9 | stupid idea because you're not the same as them. |
| 1:04.4 | And I think people don't acknowledge the differences person to person. |
| 1:09.1 | So I'm going to give you a four-part framework today to help you |
| 1:12.3 | understand really how to be most effective with every single rep, every single set, every single |
| 1:17.6 | workout. It's a relatively complete framework that, you know, I teach to coaches all around the |
| 1:21.2 | world. For many of you that do or don't know, we now have a really successful coaching |
| 1:24.7 | certification program that we launched in 2023, that we literally travel |
| 1:28.3 | all around the world now, teaching coaches how to be maximally effective. We call it a framework |
| 1:32.5 | for rapid results. There's two levels now, level one, level two, which are different. But teaching |
| 1:37.6 | some foundational things to a coach also benefits you as an athlete or a consumer. I'm like, |
| 1:43.6 | how do you teach an average person who may or may not be really good? |
