Well, we’ve officially hit that point — I’m responding to a video of me responding to someone’s video.
Let’s cut through the noise and talk about how to train effectively just twice a week.
1️⃣ Focus on Full-Body Workouts
Each session should hit all major muscle groups. To do this efficiently, pair non-synergistic movement patterns — for example:
✅ A row variation (pulling)
✅ A squat or hinge variation (lower body)
✅ A pressing variation (pushing)
This approach minimizes fatigue overlap, allowing you to train hard without burning out specific muscle groups mid-session.
2️⃣ Train with Intensity
If you’re only training 2x per week, you need to make it count. That means challenging weight — enough that the final reps of each set are difficult, but still doable with good form. No going through the motions here.
3️⃣ Prioritize Compound Movements
These are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once — think squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, rows, presses. They not only maximize muscle recruitment, but also boost overall training efficiency and intensity — perfect for limited training days.
🎯 Aim for 3–4 sets per muscle group each session. Keep rest periods focused and intentional. When done right, this setup covers strength, hypertrophy, and even conditioning.
