How do I structure my weekly workouts for the January to March hypertrophy training phase according to Andy Galpin's yearly fitness periodization as discussed in the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimize Your Training Program for Fitness & Longevity | Huberman Lab Guest Series and the clip Annual Training Cycle?
I have a question about this episode Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimize Your Training Program for Fitness & Longevity | Huberman Lab Guest Series and this The Power of Planning. In the episode How Strength and Endurance Training will Save Your Life (and your Sex Life too!) and the clip Diverse Training Approaches in the series with Andy Galpin, they talk about incorporating various aspects of fitness into a yearly program that changes every quarter. How should goals be set? Should all aspects have equally intense goals, or should the focus be on one aspect per quarter?
