#117: Dr Wayne Westcott on Training Frequency, Workout Routines, Warm-Ups, Recovery Requirements with Ageing, and Progression Over A Lifetime

1 hour 1 minute

Dr. Wayne Westcott has written more than 20 books, 400 articles, and 600 newspaper columns on the topic of muscle-building exercise. He has spent thousands of hours in the research lab, presented his findings to tens-of-thousands of seminar attendees, personally educated, tested, and certified many thousands of fitness trainers from around the globe and consulted to some of the most prestigious organizations interested in this business - including The United States Navy, The United States Air Force, several national League Football Teams, General Motors Corporation, The Nautilus Corporation, and the President’s Council on Sports and Physical Fitness.

I loved recording this episode. Wayne is one of the most charming, delightful and modest individuals I've had the pleasure to interview. We had a lot of fascinating chit-chat on strength training in this edition.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why is it important to strength training?
How to optimise and balance elevation in metabolic rate with strength training frequency
Why Wayne advocates people train twice per week in most cases
Can someone use the same routine for a lifetime?
How to stimulate optimal gains (of course - mustn't forget that old chestnut)
What has Wayne changed his mind about regarding exercise and nutrition?
… and much more
