Maximalism isn’t always the best. Minimalism is probably better suited for more people even if it doesn’t get that much attention.
Bodybuilding guy gave his bro 1 push, 1 pull, 1 leg exercise per week.
Let’s learn how to train like a minimalist.
- Strength
- Health
- Muscle mass
Strength
1 heavy set done 1-3x per week will induce significant strength gains for most people.
Most important thing is exposure to heavy loads.
Get away with very little total lifting - as long as it’s very heavy, in the 1-5 rep zone.
30-60 minutes per week is enough to obtain “maximum risk reduction” in terms of all-cause mortality, CVD, and total cancer.
