One of the biggest mistakes you can make in your training is not following a training program. Today, we’re discussing why this is the case and how to find the right workout routine for you!

There are many factors you might consider when picking a training program. We run through the following and give you our opinion on how much they actually matter:

• Your age.
• Your sex.
• How strong you are.
• Your training goals.
• Your experience level.
• How you train today.
• Will you enjoy the new program?
• How many days can you train weekly, and for how long each time?

We finish the episode by answering two listener questions:

1. Is "greasing the groove" productive, or does it count as junk volume?
2. As an experienced novice, how should I periodize for strength?
