Authentic Strength Podcast w/ Fernandez

In this episode of The Whytbelt Podcast I share my simple "chunking" method for learning songs on guitar faster - and how you can use the same method to learn skills with your body. 

Any time you need to break down a movement into a sequence, or sequence different moves together in dance, soft acro, flow, parkour, tricking etc. - you can use this method to piece together the puzzle much faster and wind up with a more polished overall product.

If you've ever worried - like I have - about making your training as "optimal" as possible, then this episode is for you.

There's a lot of conflicting advice in the internet fitness space about what is the best number of sets, reps, days per week etc. when it comes to getting strong and building muscle, and you're gonna learn in this quick crash course why:

1 - Optimal is, unfortunately, a moving target that is nearly impossible to always hit

2 - The 3 schools of thought on dealing with this inconvenient reality (and their pros/cons)

3 - How I combine all 3 of those + a bonus mindset to create my version of "optimal" (after years of messing this up)

Enjoy.
