Where It Began
- There’s a chat about music and cowboy boots. (2:00)
- Vinnie used to love “ski skates.” (6:00)
- A little backstory on Vinnie’s early interest in sports. (9:00)
- He loved the show “The Wide World of Sports” while growing up in the 1970s and ’80s.
- This is how he got introduced to Jack LaLane.
- He started mimicking what he was learning.
Weightlifting 101
- You’ll want to take notes. (27:00)
- Both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) training are important.
- Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (29:00)
- It’s important to balance with both pushing and pulling movements.
- Compound movement is moving more than one joint at a time. (31:30)
- Auxiliary exercises are good for isolation and definition but aren’t as necessary as compound movements. (34:30)
- Compound movements will also save you time.
- Reps and Sets (39:00)
- Vinnie has tried various protocols.
- He describes what his preferred method is.
- He likes three sets: one for warm-up, one for just short of failure, and one until failure.
- Do not go to failure when you are alone for moves like bench presses when doing free weights, etc.
- Do not drop or throw your weights around—you’ll just look like an asshole. (42:00)
- You don’t have to go to failure if you’re noticing an increase in strength over time.
Leg Day
- Never skip Leg Day. (45:30)
- His four preferred exercises for this are squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press. He picks at least three of the four every time.
- He describes a twice-a-week workout, which can work great for maintaining muscle strength. (50:00)
- Basic bodyweight exercises can be effective, too!
- Where there is a will, there’s a way! You can do all of this!!
