Weightlifting 101

• You’ll want to take notes. (27:00)
  
  • Both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) training are important.
• Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (29:00)
  • It’s important to balance with both pushing and pulling movements.
  • Compound movement is moving more than one joint at a time. (31:30)
  • Auxiliary exercises are good for isolation and definition but aren’t as necessary as compound movements. (34:30)
  • Compound movements will also save you time.
• Reps and Sets (39:00)
  • Vinnie has tried various protocols.
  • He describes what his preferred method is.
  • He likes three sets: one for warm-up, one for just short of failure, and one until failure.
• Do not go to failure when you are alone for moves like bench presses when doing free weights, etc.
• Do not drop or throw your weights around—you’ll just look like an asshole. (42:00)
• You don’t have to go to failure if you’re noticing an increase in strength over time.

Leg Day 

• Never skip Leg Day. (45:30)
• His four preferred exercises for this are squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press. He picks at least three of the four every time.
• He describes a twice-a-week workout, which can work great for maintaining muscle strength. (50:00)
• Basic bodyweight exercises can be effective, too!
• Where there is a will, there’s a way! You can do all of this!!
