Optimal Workout Structure
Discover the 80/20 rule for resistance training, emphasizing that 80% of workouts should be below failure, while 20% can push limits. For endurance, focus on building capillary beds with minimal "burn" for 80% of the time, using the remaining 20% to activate brain health through lactate metabolism. A balanced 3:2 workout ratio offers an effective protocol for enhancing both cardiovascular and brain function.In this clip
