    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    @maherjd Those numbers every day.

    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    @maherjd No worries. That's correct. I did 7 total one legged squats (on each leg, so technically a total of 14, though), 7 total pull ups, and 14 total push ups.

    @maherjd 7x refers to 7 times a week strength training. 1x refers to 1 time a week strength training.

    @ineedtovent24 It didn't change.

    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    @brownie Here are two things that will help with either workout scheme: 1) Think about the worst thing that will happen if you do less than the optimum amount for an entire month. You’ll probably just maintain. Accept that and see the first month or two as an experiment in lowballing it. 2)...

    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    @deenephew Light stretching before bed has been a cornerstone habit for me since I was 12 and a track coach said I should do it. The routine has evolved over the years: taking away redundant stretches, researching how to stretch what's tight, and practicing positions I find embarrassingly...

    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    @anon103 That's a really good question and deserves more upvotes. I made it sound way more definitive than I should have. I edited the post. Here's the injury history as I remember it: With both protocols I experienced the very early warning signs of an injury but nothing more. I had a slight...

    @dawn16 The videos don't tell the whole story, but I think the bullet points do. I used weights for overhead press and a resistance band for rows. The post is a novel so here's the relevant bullet point: Over the course of one month, I slowly worked up to 7 one leg squats, 7 pull ups (4 wide...

    @eberzas You bring up good points Strength as a skill: I think that's likely the mechanism behind why I feel generally more coordinated with 7x even though hypertrophy was no different. Dangerous Handstands: I was too scared to even do the pike pushups so I did what works for me: overhead...

    @jermyn Thanks! Your content played a big part in developing that mindset. Fitness FOMO is very real.

    I strength trained 1x per week and 7x per week for 5 months each

    I figured I'd share because I learned a lot. The reason: Trying to save time and maintain strength during what I knew would be a relatively busy season of life: buying a house and 1st year as an in-person teacher (no mute button) The methods: Note: I am a 28 yr old male. 5”8’. 143lbs. I don’t...
