Show Notes
In this episode of the Diet Doctor Podcast, I dive into the science behind getting the most out of your workouts by understanding how different muscle fibres work and the best ways to train them. I talk about how switching up your approach to target slow, medium, and fast-twitch muscle fibres can help you reach your full potential in the gym.
I start by busting a few common gym myths, like why training for longer or lifting heavier isn’t always better, and why spreading your sessions out across the week gives better results. I explain how everyday activities outside of the gym, known as non-energy activity, can play a big part in your progress. Plus, I share tips on structuring your workout routine whether you’re just starting out or looking to maintain your gains.
Then, I get into the nitty-gritty of how different rep tempos, weights, and rest periods can be used to target different muscle fibres without overloading your body. You’ll also learn how to customise your training split, rep ranges, and rest periods based on your goals and fitness level. If you want to know how to train smarter, avoid hitting a plateau, and reduce your risk of injury, this episode is packed with practical advice and research-based insights.
