Bang for Your Buck

  • Vinnie had a consult with a woman focused on ultra-running who trains hard. However, the harder she trains, the harder it becomes to succeed. (2:45)
    • Vinnie (and other coaches she has hired) has told her she’s training too hard.
    • She needs to focus on what she’s doing when she’s *not* in the game. (14:00)
    • He uses his own training history as an example.
      • Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00) 
  • Training with a planned “down” schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00)
  • The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45)
  • It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50)
    • Vinnie’s workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts.
  • What should people be doing on their “rest” days? (37:00)
    • Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is “active rest.”
    • Mobility exercises are an option as well.
  • Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don’t want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00)
  • Vinnie advises what to do on your “off” days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00)
  • You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace.
  • Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00)
    • He explains what a “four by four” is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).

Using Your Time Well

  • Vinnie’s video workouts also include a digital exercise tracker and PDF printouts for each exercise. (4:00)
  • Vinnie loves the 4-day routine. (13:00)
    • It includes both “to failure” days and less-intense days that are still effective workouts.
    • This allows you some flexibility.
  • Childhood playgrounds of a couple of decades ago are very different than today’s equipment. (18:00)
  • Your body adapts over time; however, Vinnie explains that flexibility is built into the workout. (28:00)
    • Life gets in the way, and missing a workout once or twice every 3 months or so won’t be a problem.
    • But if you miss more than that, you will not see the results you want.
  • What about ab exercises? (33:15)
    • Vinnie only does abs on pull days or leg days.
  • The Winter Olympics are on, and this leads to talking about the sport of Curling. (38:00)
  • The biggest mistake a person can make with these workouts is *not* doing them. (46:00)
    • Find ways to make the most of your time. Use your time well.
  • There is such a thing as *over* exercising. You need to have active rest days. (48:00)
  • “Active rest” is movement such as walking, skating, or other activities between strength-training days.

Your Health Is Most Important

  • This episode is another in a helpful series about strength training. (2:00)
  • Today’s episode focuses on Vinnie’s 6-day routine. (11:00)
    • Vinnie is very busy, but he builds the 6-day routine into his schedule.
    • He shares a variation of the 6-day workout that can help you stay consistent.
  • Vinnie understands that not everyone has the same level of schedule flexibility as he does; however, he thought the 6-day workout option would be the most popular. (29:15)
    • However, the video bundle (2-day, 4-day, 6-day workouts) has been most popular. (33:00)
  • Once you get consistent and start feeling better, you may add more days. (37:00)
    • Vinnie’s brother Mark has been increasing his workouts.
  • Your health is the most important thing. (47:00)
  • Many people overthink and fall into “analysis paralysis.” Just begin! (48:00)

Keeping It Fresh – Episode 2758

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2758- Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss the practice of periodization by keeping it fresh to optimize your strength training and health.

Keeping It Fresh

  • What is Periodization? (6:15)
    • Vinnie’s workouts have periodization built into the program.
  • Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: “macro, meso, micro.” (12:30)
    • Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh.
  • Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00)
    • Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00)
  • Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00)
    • Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up.
  • How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00)
    • When you’re not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you’re getting bored. (39:00)
  • There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00)
  • If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.
