"I’ve always been my biggest and strongest training like three or four days a week, but… there’s something about the habit and the mindset and the stress relief of training more."

Powerful Quotes by Jay Ferruggia

If you’re just starting out, you don’t have to do all the things all the time. Basic strength training is going to be 80%, that’s going to be your results.

I’ve always been my biggest and strongest training like three or four days a week, but… there’s something about the habit and the mindset and the stress relief of training more. 

There’s very few reasons to lift weights other than to build muscle and gain strength, and then as you get older and older, bone density. I don’t think it’s good for conditioning. I don’t think it’s good for fat loss.
