#158: The Shorter Workouts Experiment and How to Build Bigger Arms


Listen Later

I've been in the Iron Game for over 30 years.

But I still like to experiment. Strength training is my #1 obsession and there's always more to learn.

I recently ran a little 90-day test protocol.

In this episode, I'll tell you what I learned, what I liked, what I hated, and what my conclusions are.

After that, I'll give you some of my best arm building secrets that will help you pack on some size for the summer. The weather's getting warmer so you know what that means…suns out, guns out.

Finally, I'll give you some of the best ways to reduce inflammation and improve recovery time between workouts.

Highlights include:

  • The optimal number of strength training days per week
  • The importance of adhering to the High/Low system
  • Proper weekly workout sequencing
  • The top training splits
  • The early days of Renegade Gym
  • The evolution of my training system
  • How I got so many guys so big and strong, so fast
  • What adjustments to make as you get older
  • The magical switch we made that dramatically enhanced results
  • A simple trick for building bigger arms with zero elbow pain
  • High dose Omega 3 supplementation
  • Top ways to reduce inflammation
  • Does exercise reduce sex drive?
  • And much more
