239 - Which Training Mistakes Are You Making w/ Erik Ledin

In This Episode:   The Mistake Nobody Catches The single biggest training mistake Erik sees in women 40+, even the ones who think they're pushing hard. It comes down to one thing: not appreciating that your recovery ability has changed.   Why Short Rest Intervals Are a Silent Killer HIIT, HYROX, boot camps, CrossFit-style metabolic conditioning. Erik explains why short rest interval training comes with a recovery premium most midlife women can't afford, and why it interferes with the muscle and strength gains you're actually training for.   Training vs. Working Out These are not the same thing. Erik breaks down the real difference and why you can go to the gym every single day and still make zero progress.   The "More Sets" Myth Why piling on more volume isn't the answer, and why 5 hard sets twice a week can beat 10 sets once a week.   The Soreness Trap If you've ever chased next-day soreness as proof your workout worked, this segment will change how you think about training.   The Real Number on Muscle and Metabolism Forget the "50 calories per pound of muscle" myth. Erik does the math live and gives you the real number.   The 5 Training Archetypes Erik built a quiz to identify exactly where you fall: The Effort Leaker – stopping 3-4 reps before failure without realizing it The Fatigue Chaser – chasing the burn, chasing exhaustion, chasing the wrong goal The Grinder – training 5-6 days a week and never actually recovering The Drifter – no consistency, no way to track progress On Track – the one who's actually doing it right   Take the quiz yourself: [link in show notes]   Muscle: The Organ of Longevity Why Erik calls muscle "the organ of longevity," the connection between leg strength and brain health, and why Alzheimer's is now being linked to insulin resistance and called "Type 3 Diabetes."   The Most Common Excuse for Skipping Strength Training And what Erik actually says back to it.
