Training Principles for Lifters 30+: Build Strength, Save Time, Stay Consistent Training can feel overwhelming, especially with so many conflicting voices in the fitness world. In this episode, we break down the key principles of effective, time-efficient strength training to help you build physical freedom, longevity, and resilience—without wasting hours in the gym. Many lifters struggle to balance fitness with the demands of real life. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, training smart is essential to staying strong, capable, and injury-free. This episode lays out the fundamental principles of resistance training, how to maximize results with minimal time, and why strength is about more than just muscle—it's about building a body that supports your long-term health and daily life. If you're looking to train efficiently while maintaining consistency, this episode is for you. The Key to Sustainable Strength Training One of the biggest factors in a successful fitness routine is sustainability. Many people create unrealistic training schedules that don't fit their lifestyle, leading to burnout or inconsistency. Instead of aiming for an unsustainable six-day-per-week program, consider what is truly realistic for your life. For most middle-aged lifters, two to three resistance training sessions per week—totaling around 90 minutes—can be incredibly effective. Aiming for 8,000-10,000 daily steps further supports overall fitness without adding excessive strain. Remember, consistency over time matters more than short bursts of intense training. By focusing on a realistic, sustainable plan, you set yourself up for long-term success rather than short-lived motivation that fades away. The Most Efficient Exercises for Strength & Longevity Not all exercises are created equal. To get the biggest bang for your buck in the gym, prioritize movements that work multiple muscle groups and joints simultaneously. These include: Squats (engage legs, core, and balance) Deadlifts (train posterior chain, grip strength, and overall power) Pressing Motions (like bench press or overhead press for upper body strength) These compound movements build muscle, strengthen connective tissues, and reinforce natural movement patterns essential for daily activities. If time is limited, focusing on these fundamental lifts ensures you're making the most of your gym sessions. Additionally, barbells are a powerful tool due to their scalability, availability, and ability to progressively overload—allowing you to steadily build strength over time. While machines have their place, free-weight movements generally offer more functional benefits for long-term fitness. Making Strength Training a Lifestyle, Not a Burden One of the biggest barriers to consistent training is the feeling that it's a burden. Instead of treating workouts as a chore, approach them as an investment in your future self. Think of training like cooking—just as a good meal balances salt, fat, acid, and heat, an effective program balances strength, mobility, and endurance. It's also important to trust the process. Results don't happen overnight, and progress requires faith in the system. Strength training is about more than aesthetics—it's about preserving function, preventing injuries, and feeling like a beast well into your later years. By establishing core training principles and sticking to them, you can cut through the noise of the fitness world and focus on what truly works for long-term health and physical freedom.

We discuss the complexities of fitness coaching, the importance of effective communication, and the challenges of misinformation in the industry. We explore how coaches can better connect with clients, the significance of evidence-based practices, and the societal influences that shape health choices. The discussion emphasizes personal responsibility and finding balance in life amidst overwhelming media consumption.  In this conversation, Andrew and Jon discuss the pervasive influence of outrage culture and social media on mental health and personal well-being. They explore the balance between entertainment and self-care, the importance of understanding diverse opinions, and the dangers of engaging with rage bait and clickbait content. The discussion emphasizes the need for healthy boundaries in social media consumption and the impact of mental energy on daily life. Takeaways We often forget how much knowledge we have as coaches. Empathy is crucial in reaching the end user effectively. Effective communication is key to educating clients. Not all information available is beneficial or accurate. Scrolling mindlessly can detract from restorative time. Recognizing the impact of social media on daily life is crucial. Engaging with evidence-based resources is important for fitness.

This week with Alex Bush: Focus on the key principles of training, such as proper form and technique, rather than getting caught up in minor details. Hypertrophy training is beneficial for individuals of all backgrounds and goals, not just bodybuilders. Patience is crucial in training and nutrition, as results take time to manifest. The gym should be seen as a place to build up the body rather than just burn calories. Individualization is key in training and nutrition, considering factors such as body structure and exercise execution. Short-form content on social media can be contradictory and lack context, making it challenging for consumers to navigate fitness advice. Coaches should prioritize serving their customer base and providing individualized guidance, rather than seeking validation from other coaches. Home gyms can be convenient, but commercial gyms offer a better environment for hypertrophy purposes and variety of equipment. When it comes to nutrition, tracking food intake and prioritizing protein are key for achieving fitness goals. Recommended supplements include magnesium, vitamin D, and fish oil, but individual needs may vary. Low-fat diets can be challenging and may require careful tracking and monitoring of fat intake. Extreme dieting and restrictive eating practices are not necessary or healthy for the majority of people. Eggs are a good source of micronutrients but should not be relied upon as the sole protein source due to their high fat content. The 'What I Eat in a Day' trend can be misleading and may not be applicable to everyone's dietary needs and preferences. Instead of focusing on exact macros, it is more helpful to use recipes as inspiration and learn how to combine different food sources. Following someone else's diet without considering individual differences and preferences may lead to dissatisfaction and lack of results. Excuses and results are mutually exclusive - to achieve desired outcomes, one must take responsibility and take action.

Episode 158: Strength Training PrinciplesFuture Dr. Hasan explains the importance of adding muscle strength exercises to our routine physical activity. Dr. Arreaza asked questions about some terminology and reminded us of the physical activity guidelines for Americans.    Written by Syed Hasan, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.An Introduction to Strength Training Principles.Arreaza: Hello, everyone. Welcome to episode 158. [Introduce myself]. We are recording this episode right before Christmas but by the time you listen to this episode it will be 2024, so Happy New Year! It has been a busy time in our residency, we had lots of interviews, parties, and, of course, lots of learning and teaching. I apologize for our absence in the last few weeks, but we are back for good. We have Syed today, hi, Syed, please introduce yourself.Syed: Hi Dr. Arreaza, and hello everybody. My name is Syed. I am a fourth-year medical student at Ross University School of Medicine. I'm also a lifting enthusiast. One of my many goals in life is to look like I lift. Until I reach that goal, I will take solace in the fact that at least I sound like I lift. Arreaza: You are getting there, keep going! Give us an intro for today's episode. Syed: (laughs) Thanks! Well, today, I want to present a framework with which to approach resistance training. The benefits of weight training are well-known, and a quick Google search gives us plenty to learn about them. But a clear framework for resistance training is a bit more difficult to come by. So, in this podcast, I will attempt to provide you, the listeners, with such a framework. By the end of the episode, my goal is to get most of you to start thinking about strength training seriously. Arreaza: I'm excited to hear it. I'm ready to learn more. I exercise, but I have to confess that I need to add more lifting to my routines. I enjoy cardio exercise, especially if I'm listening to my favorite music or watching a Netflix show. So, today I will go to bed being a little wiser. I have low gym literacy, but I think many of our listeners will appreciate my silly questions. Syed: (laughs) If you're thinking it, it's not a silly question, Dr. Arreaza! Before we begin though, some housekeeping. Because there is some technical stuff like names of muscles, their function, and exercises to target them, we will add a quick glossary at the end of the attached transcript. I will also include sources for the information I present. As well, a lot of other sources on hypertrophy training and exercise science. Arreaza: So, let's start with the definition of strength training, Syed. Syed: Yeah. So put simply, any exercise where you produce force against a resistance can be thought of as a resistance training exercise. Doing this kind of exercise over a long period of time is what causes strength and muscle gain. By the way, strength and muscle gains are like chicken and eggs. Scientists are not sure which comes first, just that both are correlated. Practically, it means that when we look at two people, the person with bigger muscles is probably going to be stronger.Arreaza: On the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, available online at health.gov, we find that it is recommended that adults engage in “muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity… [involving] all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week,” and that's ON TOP of the 150-300 minutes of moderate physical activity a week for general health benefits.Syed: Yeah, and we are talking about it today because a lot of times it's unclear to people what such exercise entails. Some common examples are bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. Syed: In these exercises, our body is the resistance against which our muscles are producing force. So, in push-ups, it is our chest and triceps that are mostly involved. In pull-ups, it is our back and biceps that work the hardest. When it comes to squats, it is our quads and glutes that are used most. Quads are the muscles in the front part of the thighs, and glutes are the buttock muscles. Arreaza: Push-ups, pull-ups, and squats are examples of bodyweight exercises. Syed: Yeah, so now let's talk about free weight exercises. Just like in body weight exercises, we are using our body weight as resistance, in free weight exercises we use free weights, like barbells or dumbbells, as resistance. So, instead of a push-up, we could do a bench press with a barbell or dumbbell, for example. Arreaza: Barbells and dumbbells. What's the difference?Syed: The difference is the size, dumbbells fit in your hand and barbells are larger. Bench press with them is a substitute for push-ups. These would target the chest and triceps just like push-ups. For pull-ups, the substitute would be barbell rows or dumbbell rows, to target the upper back. And the free-weight version of bodyweight squats is simply having a barbell on the upper back/shoulders and do squats. This exercise is called barbell squat. If we don't have barbells but have dumbbells, we can grab one, hold it with both hands in front of our chest, and do squats. That is called a goblet squat.Arreaza: And don't forget the kettlebells that can be used for squats too.Syed: That's right. So far in our discussion, some themes have emerged. There are big muscle groups that work together, like the back and biceps, chest and triceps, and quads and glutes.There are exercise groups that target these muscle groups.These big muscle groups are either part of the trunk or are nearest to the trunk of the bodyMost people know what trunk is, but I'll describe it as the area between the neck and groin. You can imagine our limbs and neck sprouting from our trunk just as branches sprout from a tree trunk.So, chest is part of the trunk, and biceps are near the trunk; back is part of the trunk, and triceps are near the trunk. For our lower body, quads and glutes are near the trunk.Now, let's also summarize the muscle groups and exercise groups mentioned so far. Chest and triceps: Can be targeted with push-ups, bench press (when using barbells), or dumbbell press (when using dumbbells).By the way, in the world of lifting, the same exercise might have different names. I don't want anyone to be married to the names. Understanding the movement pattern is the important thing.So, again, reiterate #1Back and biceps can be targeted with pull-ups, barbell rows, or dumbbell rows. There is also an exercise called lat pull-down that is like the movement pattern of pull-ups (basically starting with arms above our body and then bringing our elbows towards the ribs). But a lat-pull down uses a cable machine found at most gyms.So again, for back and biceps, we can do pull-ups, barbell or dumbbell rows, or lat pull-downs, depending on what we have access to.Finally, we talked about quads that can be targeted with body weight squats, barbell, or dumbbell squats. To these exercises, we can also add lunges, that can be done with bodyweight, dumbbells, or barbells.Arreaza: What are lunges?Syed: Lunges are like walking but you lower your hips and bend your knees with every step. And you do this with dumbbells in hands or a barbell on the back. You can also do it with just body weight. Arreaza: You said these muscle and exercise groups cover the big muscles on or nearest to the trunk. You have not mentioned the shoulders and the back of the thighs. Syed: To that, I would say, thank you for listening so closely! All of these exercises have been compound movements, meaning they target more than one muscle group. These are the exercises that give you the biggest bang for your buck, that is time.Syed: The compound exercises for back of the thigh is deadlifts. Muscles in the back of the thigh are called hams (short for hamstrings). The bread-and-butter compound exercise for hams is the deadlift. It can be done with a barbell or dumbbells. On top of targeting your hams, it also makes your erector muscles work hard. Erectors are also called erector spinae. These are a group of muscles in the back that work hard to keep your spine stable and help us stand straight. They also allow us to bend our spine side to side and even backwards a bit. So the deadlift is done with the lifter bending at the hips and knees, keeping the back straight. And reversing that movement to stand back up.Arreaza: It is important to exercise your erectors. Deadlifts for your hams. And for your shoulders?Syed: For shoulders, the go-to compound lift is the shoulder press (and again, this can be done with a barbell or dumbbell). It targets your delts, short for deltoids. Shoulder press also targets our triceps, traps, and upper chest. Syed: The thing with both deadlifts and shoulder press is that they are taxing on your spine. It's true for squats too, but squats are a relatively simple movement compared to deadlifts and shoulder press. With deadlifts and shoulder press, you have to pay special attention to keeping a neutral spine, and that does not come intuitively. Often the best way to master these movements without putting your spine in a compromised position is under expert supervision, at least when learning the movement. Don't get me wrong; it can be learned by paying close attention to exercise videos online as well. But yeah, it takes practice.Arreaza: So we have covered all big muscles groups that can be trained together using compound movements: back and biceps; chest and triceps; hams, erectors, and glutes; quads and glutes. Syed: Yes, glutes and abs are freebies. They get worked in a lot of movements. More directly in some exercises and less in others. So, these muscle groups really don't need extra attention in most cases, at least not at the beginner level. So, now we know the muscle groups and the compound exercises to target these muscle groups. The final piece is how much and how often to train them. The recommended frequency, in general, for strength training is two days or more per week. Syed: How many exercises in a session? Generally, 3-5. Syed: How many sets for each exercise? The standard answer is 2-5 sets of 5-15 reps per exercise. Stopping 2-3 reps shy of failure (this is called the reps-in-reserve or RIR model). Make sure to take plenty of rest between sets. Arreaza: How much is plenty? Syed: 1) your muscles feel sufficiently recovered, 2) your breathing is back to normal or almost normal, and 3) your will to push for another set is back. You can use this 3-point checklist for both rest periods between sets and rest periods between training sessions. Between sets, the rest time may be 2 minutes; it may be 5 minutes. It may go from 5 to 2 minutes as your cardio improves over time. But the most important thing is, listening to our body.  Not overexerting. Otherwise, our subconscious is going to tell us, you just punish me when exercising. So, now it is going to rebel. And before we know it, weeks have passed between training sessions, we have lost the momentum for training, and we missed out on potential gains. Arreaza: My patients talk about being afraid of injuries when lifting. Can you talk about that? Syed: Anything in life has risks and benefits. I heard a resident at Rio Bravo once say, “being alive has its risks.” The good news is, resistance training of any kind, whether it is Olympic lifting, powerlifting, or bodybuilding, carries a lot less risk of injury compared to any other sport. And the benefits, physical, mental, and reduced all-cause mortality far outweigh the risks. I have never regretted a training session. This is something you will hear most people who lift say. And for good reason. The only thing is, start slowly, and increase weights slowly over time. Arreaza: Injury prevention is important. You need to make sure you are keeping a correct posture and body positioning during weight-lifting. A personal trainer can be a way to prevent injuries but if you are very motivated, you can find videos to guide you. Do you have any recommendations on sources where our listeners can learn more about this?Syed: To learn about the principles of muscle hypertrophy, the people I benefited the most from are Dr. Eric Helms, Dr. Mike Israetel,  Dr. Milo Wolf, and Barbell Medicine (Drs. Baraki and Feigenbaum whose articles I referred to when preparing for this podcast). All these people have tons of sources available in the forms of books, articles, YouTube videos, and Instagram posts. In other words, they are everywhere trying to teach us!. I can link some of the playlists for exercises by muscle groups.Arreaza: Thanks.Syed: Thank you for listening, I hope this episode gives us a better idea to guide our patients or ourselves in strength training. GlossaryCompound exercise A strength training exercise that involves the use of multiple muscle groups and joints to perform the movement. Chest Pecs or pectoralis muscles (major and minor)The pecs work to help us push things away in front of us.  Compound exercises targeting chest also work the front delts.  Triceps Tris (pronounced “tries”)The triceps help us straighten our arms.Chest and tris can be thought of as pushing muscles. ShouldersDelts or deltoids (front, medial, and rear) The delts raise arms up to around shoulder level, although some evidence suggests they work even when the arm has crossed the 90-100 degree mark. Back  Lats or latissimus dorsi helps us bring elbow close to our body (either from in front of us in a horizontal plane or from above us in a vertical plane). Most back exercises also work other muscles in the back like rear delts, traps, and erectors.GlutesGluteal muscles (gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus)Have many functions including pelvic stability, overall posture, force production in athletic movements, and so much more. Involved heavily in exercises for the quads and hams.  AbsCore or Abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and transverse abdominis)A group of muscles in the front of the torso. When body fat is low (10-15% in men and 15-25% in women), they lead to the appearance of the “six packs” (the rectus abdominis). They are used in most exercises when we brace before executing the movements.  Note: In most cases, being leaner than the percentages mentioned above is not good for overall hormonal health.   _____________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 158, “Strength Training Principles.” Future Dr. Hasan explained how to strengthen groups of muscles by adding bodyweight and free weight exercises. He answered some questions about basic terminology and Dr. Arreaza added a few words about injury prevention. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Syed Hasan.

This week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout features a training talk on universal and fundamental training strategies applicable to all running distances. Believe it or not, the training that you do and the necessary adaptations that you need to train for a track mile versus a road marathon isn't all that different. Training isn't an exact equation and it isn't rocket science. Having patience with a long-term outlook on training that consists of simple fundamentals will make you a faster and less injury-prone runner. If we can recognize that the process of improvement takes months and years (it has taken me two years to improve my mile pr by 90 seconds), then we will become the runners we were meant to become. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout. Summary: The training principles that the elites do shouldn't be arbitrarily different from what we recreational runners should be doing - higher workload, but similar progression and principles Be adaptive in your training and don't be afraid to train by effort if you have an "off day" Be consistent, show up everyday, and don't over analyze everything Be consistently good enough (think B+) over a long period of time to get better Don't smash yourself all the time - the pros don't Always work on the aerobic engine and become an aerobic beast  Train and race a variety of distances and paces - "Variety is the spice of life."

In this episode, Andy returns to the podcast and continues the conversation about training for longevity. He examines the training practices of powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, Strongmen/women, CrossFit athletes, and sprinters in order to extract insights that can be applied to the individual wanting to optimize for longevity. Andy goes into detail about exercise load and repetition, training volume, the importance of learning proper movement patterns, the advantage of working to technical failure instead of the number of reps, and much more. Andy ties the discussion together by providing a hypothetical training plan for an individual wanting to optimize for longevity and offers advice for avoiding injury. We discuss: Review of the function and organization of skeletal muscle [3:15]; Review of muscle fiber types [9:30]; Hypertrophy: changes in muscle fibers and the underlying mechanisms that make a muscle grow [19:30]; Defining sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and how it relates to the number of reps in a set [30:15]; Training for maximum strength: what we can learn from powerlifters and a hypothetical training plan [32:45]; Ideal reps, volume, and load for the powerlifter [44:45]; What should powerlifters do on their off days?

This episode was full of Spring joy! The main training topic was on 4 key principles as athletes transition from winter training, which apply anytime an athlete is pursuing peak performance. The primary physiological discussions: how increased climbing affects adaptation and fatigue, heat acclimation and fitness benefits, sustainable strength work, and dialing into effort instead of metrics. Lots of fun studies in that discussion, plus plenty of semi-related digressions. You know, the usual! We also broke down the 2023 Barkley Marathons, one of the most bonkers races on the planet! It was a remarkable year, and the takeaways can apply to everyone. And there was so much more fun! Other topics: Kara Goucher's incredible book "The Longest Race," the power of unplanned rest days, balancing rest with putting in the work, shoe reviews from podcast hosts who barely understand shoes, Vitamin D intake, wrong turn calculus, a new study on hopping (we're skeptical), and dealing with trauma and grief. This week's Listener Corner is so touchingly beautiful, and we hope it feels like a warm hug in a complex world. Also, we have a VERY SPECIAL RACE ANNOUNCEMENT. It's like LeBron James and "The Decision," except almost no one cares. Are we also taking our talents to South Beach? Listen and find out.
