048 How to do more exercises in a workout without fatigue holding you back
About this episode
The episode explores the concept of fatigue in workouts and how to optimize exercise selection and structure to enhance performance.
In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present , Jake and Chris break down what fatigue actually is, and why most lifters misunderstand it. The episode begins with a deep dive into a late Silver Era full body program from Joe Abenda, before expanding into a practical framework for understanding intra-workout and post-workout fatigue, and how this relates to the total number of exercises in a session. Key topics include: • A breakdown of Joe Abenda’s Silver Era beginner full body program • Why most people confuse fatigue with motivation • The difference between intra-workout fatigue and post-workout fatigue • How exercise selection, reps, and rest periods determine fatigue more than just total number of exercises • How to structure workouts to minimise fatigue and maximise performance across the entire session
