#204 What Real Intensity Looks Like

from Tom The Trainer's Fitness Over 40

In this Live in the Tribe, I break down the difference between training for progress versus just going through the motions, and why most people think they’re pushing hard… but actually aren’t. I talk about what real intensity looks like, how to know if you’re actually close to failure, and why this matters so much for building muscle and getting results.We also get into how to structure your sets properly, when to push versus when to hold back, and why understanding effort is one of the biggest game changers in your training. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure if you’re doing enough, this episode will help you dial it in.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland to book a Free Strategy Call to apply for coaching.Have the best day ever! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
