When is the best time to train is something I have been asked by almost every client I have worked with.

The simplest answer is just β€˜when you can’. Trying to train first thing in the morning when you have a busy day or have to take the kids to school wont work.

Alternatively if you have a very physically demanding job and then come to train at 6…7…8pm - you may burn out fast.

You have to find a time and intensity that you can sustain. I have trained around 10-12 almost every day for 5 years because thats when I have a break between clients. I have reasonable energy, I am alert and the gym is quiet 🎧

Scientifically speaking, it is a very mixed bag of data. Most of the studies I have seen conclude that training in the evening yielded the most muscle gain and burnt the most fat πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

The studies aren’t always terribly reliable so if you find what works for you then stick with it πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

What do you think?

Option 1 - The Press?
Option 2 - The Swimmer Fly?
Option 3 - The Pec Fly?

An industry secret, which results in a lot of hate on social media, is ALL OF THEM!

Hear me out. All 3 exercises work the chest in some proportion.

Even though β€˜option 3’, which I suspect many of you will choose, seems the logical choice… It is hindered by the fact the weight you can use isn’t very high. Even pro bodybuilders max out at 15-20kg when lifting sensibly.

Compare that to the chest press, which uses the triceps to generate greater force, we can lift considerably more weight with most gym goers more than doubling the weight used for a pec fly.

Lastly β€˜option 2’ only uses the chest in small amounts, requiring muscle recruitment only on the end range of the pectoral muscles. The chest never actually contracts concentrically. This can actually result in very little muscle gain, but can improve stability. But still… a little is more than none at all.

In short, use all three! Or use only one, the improvements developed between variations of chest exercise is very hard to analyse. In fact, most analysis has shown that consistency and progressive overload still reigns supreme.

Pick a set of exercises, perform them correctly and over a variety of rep ranges and you will see improvements. Whether its strength, muscle mass, endurance or anything else, consistency is key.

Variety is there to alleviate boredom πŸ‘πŸ»

This is something that has been debated a lot in recent years. Everyone has had their say and many disagree with the science.

Scientific studies give us a great insight, however individual factors always play havoc with the data. And even then progressions happen at such small and sporadic rates it is hard to definitively tell what is the the main contributing factor.

A study (referenced below) actually found that the duration of the training session has been found to be beneficial, in some, if it is increased slowly over time.

So working from 20 minutes up to 60-90 minutes training can be achieved over a 32 week period for optimum change in our muscles πŸ’ͺ🏻 (so no need to jump straight in if muscle mass is your goal)

For changes in cardiovascular (VO2 max) output to occur then 20-40 minutes is optimal and can be improved in as little as 8 weeks 😁 (most find they can run further and further every other week).

I think from a mental health point of view its important to know that what ever amount of time suits your lifestyle and is sustainable is optimum. I find I can get all my stress out in 40 mins, any longer I lose out on time to work or see my kids πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ which makes me stressed haha.

Exercise and children rarely seem to mix. And when Leo was born I thought with his busy feeding/pooping/sleeping schedule that I would never train again!

But if you want to improve your body and mind then you can always find a way 😎

I dont have much time to train today so I have split my workout into segments between feeds.

60 second timer 5 pull ups (strict as possible) and then rest for the remainder of the minute. 10 rounds.

Later I have 20 minutes at the gym to hit lat pulldowns, shrugs and seated rows πŸ’ͺ🏻

Let’s get to work! πŸ₯‡
